Seeking to become the first team in FA Cup history to reach the semifinals in six straight years, Manchester City take on Newcastle at Etihad Stadium today. The Citizens are undoubtedly favorites to advance, but as we saw during the League Cup back in September, Eddie Howe’s side can’t be overlooked.
The match is kicking off momentarily, at 1:30 p.m. ET, and will stream exclusively on ESPN+. That means there’s no way to watch it completely, but the value of ESPN+ is immeasurable for anyone at all interested in the FA Cup.
While ESPN+ does not offer a free trial, it will cost you just $11 for a month of the streaming service. Within that month, you can watch:
And that’s just the soccer. There’s also other live sports–college basketball, the PLAYERS Championship and every out-of-market NHL game, to name a few–and hundreds of hours of on-demand content. Not too shabby for $11.
You’ll need a virtual private network (VPN) to watch anything on ESPN+ from outside of the United States. VPN’s hide your IP address/location, allowing you to bypass geo-locks and access content from other countries as if you were actually there.
NordVPN is one of the best VPN services out there, and it will give you everything you need to seamlessly watch ESPN+ from abroad. And if you change your mind at any point within 30 days of signing up, you’ll get your money back.

It is a smart, calculated move toward what the tech industry calls a "lean-back" experience. Instead of hunching over a laptop or squinting at a smartphone screen to watch a forty-minute interview or a deep-dive lecture, you can now throw it on the TV while you cook dinner, fold laundry, or just relax on the couch.
