Looking to stay the course in their quest for a potentially historic Treble, Liverpool host Norwich City in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday. Jurgen Klopp’s side has won seven straight matches against The Canaries, most recently a 2-1 victory in the fifth round of the 2021-22 FA Cup.
The match is about to kick off, at 9:30 a.m. ET, on an exclusive ESPN+ stream. That means there’s no legal way to watch the match for free, but ESPN+ is also a must-have long-term streaming service for soccer fans anyways. Here’s everything you need to know to watch Liverpool vs Norwich City live online.
There is no free trial for ESPN+, but it costs just $11 per month (or $15 for a bundle of ESPN+, Disney+ and Hulu) and includes every single match of the entire FA Cup tournament, from today’s Liverpool vs Norwich City showdown right down through the final.
The FA Cup alone probably makes ESPN+ worth it at that price point (starting with this one, there’s 18 more matches in the tournament that you’ll be able to watch), but that’s just the tip of the iceberg for what’s included. There’s also every La Liga, Bundesliga, Copa del Rey and Championship match, as well as other international soccer, more live sports, 30-for-30 documentaries and original shows. All of that for $11 a month (or even less if you pay for a year at $110) is a no-brainer for sports fans.
If you happen to be outside of the United States during the time of the match, you can use a virtual private network (VPN) to hide and alter your location and allow you to stream as if you’re still in the country. There’s no shortage of VPN options, and many of them offer good deals when signing up, but NordVPN is certainly one of the best. It offers more servers than most other VPN’s, which ultimately leads to faster streaming speeds (an important factor for watching live sports online), and it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you aren’t happy with the service.
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.
