Following their 1-1 draw last week, West Ham and Bristol City will run it back in a replay of their third-round FA Cup showdown at Ashton Gate on Tuesday. With a spot in the final 32 on the line, this sets up as a dramatic, must-watch battle. If you live in the United States, the match will start at 2:45 p.m. ET and will be broadcast exclusively on ESPN+. It’s not on regular cable TV anywhere, which limits your legal live stream options, but that also makes it very simple to watch. Here’s everything you need to know to watch Bristol City vs West Ham today,
As previously mentioned, ESPN+ is the only place you can watch Bristol City vs West Ham if you live in the United States. Unfortunately, there is no longer a free trial, but if you’re planning on watching any more of the 2023-24 FA Cup, you’ll want ESPN+ for the long-term anyways. The streaming service includes every single remaining match, from the upcoming fourth round all the way through to the final.
The service costs either $10.99 per month for ESPN+ by itself, or $14.99 for a bundle of ESPN+, Hulu and Disney+. Not only does ESPN+ include every FA Cup match, but it also comes with dozens of other live sports, including the Championship, Bundesliga, La Liga, Copa del Rey and other international soccer, plus all the 30-for-30 documentaries and other original content, so the price is easily worth it.
If you normally live in the US and have ESPN+ but need to travel out of the country during the match, you may notice that you can’t watch. That’s because ESPN+ is limited to only those who are in the United States, but there is a workaround in the form of a virtual private network (VPN), which can mask your location and allow you to stream ESPN+ as if you’re still located in the US. There are plenty of options when it comes to VPN’s, but NordVPN is our choice here. It’s extremely reliable and comes with a free 30-day trial so you can try it out risk-free.

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.
