It's a London derby clash with significant implications for the bottom of their table on Monday as struggling West Ham aim for their first win under new manager Nuno Espírito Santo against a Brentford team holding their own under rookie boss Keith Andrews.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch EPL games as they happen, wherever you are in the world and how to use a VPN if it's not available where you are.
Monday's game marks the first home fixture for Nuno since replacing Graham Potter in the Hammers hot seat last month, with the Irons having played two games on the road since his appointment last month -- a battling draw away at Everton before a dismal 2-0 defeat to league leaders Arsenal before the international break.
Despite the occasion, the atmosphere inside the London Stadium is likely to be muted, with the match expected to be boycotted by large sections of the West Ham faithful in protest at owner David Sullivan's running of the club.
The Bees will be hoping to take advantage of the discontent in the stands, as they look to bounce back from their narrow 1-0 at home to Manchester City a fortnight ago.
West Ham United takes on Brentford on Monday, Oct. 20, at the London Stadium, with kickoff set for 8 p.m. BST. That makes it a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 6 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia on Tuesday morning.
West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo is expected to return Tomas Soucek into the Hammers starting line up for today's game, with the Czechia international midfielder having served all three matches of his ban following a red card against Tottenham Hotspur last month.

How to watch the Premier League 2025-26 from anywhere with a VPN
If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the EPL action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.
However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.

Quick tips for streaming the Premier League using a VPN
- With four variables at play -- your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN -- your experience and success when streaming EPL matches may vary.
- If you don't see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the "search for city or country" option.
- If you're having trouble getting the game after you've turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you're using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases, with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you'll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. Having a VPN on your router will also help since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you're using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
