Back into second place on the Premier League table, Arsenal look to keep pace when they take on Luton Town in a mid-week fixture today. A late stoppage-time Declan Rice header secured the thrilling 4-3 Arsenal victory when these teams last met in December, and we can only hope this one has similar drama in store, but considering Arsenal’s current form, it’ll take a Herculean effort from Luton to make that come to fruition.
This match is starting very soon, at 2:30 p.m. ET, and will be televised on USA Network in the United States. If you don’t have cable though, there are a lot of ways you can watch a live stream of Arsenal vs Luton Town for free or cheap.
We’ll start with the cheap option. If you take free trials out of the equation, Sling TV is by far the most cost-effective way to watch a live stream of USA Network, which typically televises multiple Premier League matches every week.
The “Sling Blue” option–which comes with USA Network and 38 total channels–normally costs $40 per month, but it’s currently on sale for just $20 for your first month. Not only that, you can also throw in Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, MGM+, Starz and AMC+ all at no extra cost for that first month. All in total, that’s $73 worth of content for just $20.
Now, what if we don’t take free trials out of the equation? If that’s the case, then there are three different ways you can watch a live stream of Arsenal vs Luton Town without paying anything.
Fubo‘s “Pro” channel plan, YouTube TV‘s “Base Plan” and DirecTV Stream‘s “Entertainment” package all include USA Network. They’re all more expensive long-term options than Sling (because their channel packages are far more extensive), but they all come with a free trial. Fubo’s last for seven days, while YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream will let you watch for five days before needing to sign up.
As such, you can sign up, watch Arsenal vs Luton Town (and a number of other Premier League games on USA Network this week), and then cancel your subscription before ever spending a single cent.
In the interest of being fully comprehensive in our live-stream options, we’ll also mention Hulu + Live TV. It’s $77 per month, and it doesn’t come with a free trial, so if you only want to watch Arsenal vs Luton Town, this one doesn’t make much sense.
But if you’re in the market for a live-TV streaming service that you plan on keeping for a long time, Hulu is a solid choice. It has 95+ channels, and it includes both Disney+ and ESPN+ at no extra cost.
If you’re abroad, you can access any of the aforementioned sites with the use of a virtual private network (VPN). All of those sites are typically blocked from outside the US, but a VPN hides your location and connects you digitally to a server in another country. This makes it seem as though you’re physically located in this country, allowing you to get around these location-blocks.
NordVPN is undoubtedly one of the best VPN services you’ll find. It doesn’t come with a free trial, but if you’re on the fence, rest assured that you can cancel it and get your money back at any point within 30 days of signing up.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
