The fourth round of the FA Cup continues Friday with a potentially explosive showdown between holders Manchester City and hosts Tottenham. City have advanced to at least the fifth round of this tournament in eight consecutive years, while Spurs have made it that far in three straight, so one streak will give way Friday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
This must-watch match is about to start, at 3:00 p.m. ET, and will be streamed exclusively on ESPN+. It won’t be on regular cable TV anywhere, which limits your options, but it also makes watching the match very straightforward. Here’s everything you need to know to watch a live stream of Tottenham vs Man City in the US.
In the US, ESPN+ is the only place you can watch Tottenham vs Manchester City. There is no ESPN+ free trial, but if you plan on watching any more of the FA Cup, or if you’re a soccer fan in general, you’re going to want to have ESPN+ for the long-term anyways. Not only does it include every single match of this tournament, but ESPN+ also includes Bundesliga, La Liga, Copa del Rey, Championship and international matches, as well as dozens of other live sports, every 30-for-30 documentary and more.
ESPN+ by itself will run you $11 per month, or you can get a bundle of ESPN+, Hulu and Disney+ for a total of just $15 per month. Buying all three of those separately would come out to $27 per month, so that’s about 44 percent savings if you go with the bundle.
A virtual private network (VPN) can hide your location, which can come in handy if you’re outside of the United States but trying to use a US-only streaming service such as ESPN+. There are a lot of good VPNs out there, but NordVPN is easily one of the best. It’s reliable, doesn’t limit your streaming speeds, has an extension for Google Chrome and comes with a free 30-day money-back guarantee. If you want to shop around, you can take a more in-depth look at our VPN deals.

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.
