After surviving a points dedication and a relegation scrap, Everton fans would have been hoping for some positives this summer. That has not been the case as they won just one of their pre-season friendlies and saw star performer Amadou Onana leave for Aston Villa. However, at the tail end of last season there were some positive signs as they won five of their final eight games.
Brighton have also lost an instrumental performer in Pascal Groß but have looked excellent in pre-season under new manager Fabian Hüerzler. The American-born coach was lavished with praise last season after getting St. Pauli promoted to the Bundesliga and will be keen to make a statement in his first Premier League game.
Line-ups:
Everton: Pickford; Young, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Harrison, Iroegbunam, Gana Gueye, McNeil; Doucoure; Calvert-Lewin
Brighton: Steele, Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Hinshelwood, Milner, Wieffer, Mitoma, Minteh, Welbeck, Pedro.
Last season both games ended in 1-1 draws. Will someone grab the initiative this time around? Tune in today to find out, plus make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.
Watch Everton vs Brighton from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the soccer on your usual subscription?
You can still watch Everton vs Brighton live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:
There's a good reason you've heard of NordVPN. We specialize in testing and reviewing VPN services and NordVPN is the one we rate best. It's outstanding at unblocking streaming services, it's fast and it has top-level security features too. With over 6,000 servers, across 110+ countries, and at a great price too, it's easy to recommend.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're away from the U.S. and want to view your usual U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to a service listed below that's showing Everton vs Brighton and watch the game.
Watch Everton vs Brighton in the U.S.
Soccer fans in the U.S. can watch the Everton vs Brighton live stream on Peacock, NBC's streaming service. To tune in, you'll need to be signed up for either a Premium subscription ($7.99/month) or Premium Plus ($13.99/month, which also gets rid of some ads).
If you're outside of the U.S. but have one of these subscriptions, you can watch the Everton vs Brighton live stream by using a VPN such as NordVPN.
Can you watch Everton vs Brighton in the U.K.?
Unfortunately, there will be no Everton vs Brighton live stream in the United Kingdom. That's because U.K. broadcasters are blocked from airing Saturday 3 p.m. kick-offs to protect attendances elsewhere in the football pyramid.
U.S. fans visiting the U.K. can use one of the best VPN services to access their usual streaming service from abroad. We recommend NordVPN.
As it stands, live Premier League rights are split three ways in the U.K. between Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video.
For the 24/25 season, Sky Sports is set to show 128 matches live, while TNT Sports will show 52 matches live, including every Saturday lunchtime kick-off. Amazon Prime Video has the rights to 20 matches this season.
