Looking to begin their climb out of the relegation zone, Burnley are in desperate need of some positive results soon. Unfortunately for Vincent Kompany’s side, a date with his former team Manchester City at Etihad Stadium awaits on Wednesday. The Citizens sit second on the Premier League table and haven’t lost a league match at home since November of 2022, making them massive favorites for today’s showdown.
The match is about to start, at 2:30 p.m. ET, and will be broadcast exclusively on Peacock. That means that you can’t watch a legal live stream of the match for free, but it is cheap and simple and ultimately well worth it for Premier League fans.
If you enjoy the Premier League even a little bit, Peacock is a must-have streaming service. While some matches throughout the season will be televised on USA Network, NBC or CNBC, roughly half will stream exclusively on Peacock. Plus, the matches that are televised on NBC will also will be available live on Peacock, while the ones on USA and CNBC will be available as replays the following day. There’s also “Goal Rush,” the whip-around show during the busy window of matches, as well as other Premier League programming, to keep you fulfilled all day long with EPL-related content.
Unfortunately, there is no Peacock TV free trial, but Peacock Premium is just $6 per month or $60 per year (which gives you two free months). Considering you get all the aforementioned Premier League action, as well as the best movies on Peacock and the best shows on Peacock, that price is well worth it.
If you’re outside the country, a virtual private network (VPN) can hide your IP address to allow you to use your location-restricted streaming services such as Peacock as if you were still at home in the United States.

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.
