Manchester United will be hoping to keep their outside hopes of UEFA Champions League qualification alive as they travel to the south coast looking for a win against AFC Bournemouth.
The Red Devils have failed to win any of their last three matches in the English Premier League, but will have drawn confidence from their dramatic draw last weekend against title-chasing Liverpool.
The home side, meanwhile, are looking to chalk up their first league double over United, having claimed a memorable 3-0 victory in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford four months ago.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live, wherever you are in the world.

How to watch the Bournemouth vs. Man United game online from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, non-blackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
