West Ham vs. Everton Livestream: How to Watch Premier League Soccer From Anywhere

It’s a huge game in the battle to beat the drop in the EPL, as West Ham host fellow strugglers Everton at the London Stadium, with new Hammers signing Danny Ings set to make his debut.

It’s win or bust for West Ham’s David Moyes and Everton’s Frank Lampard, with both managers facing the sack should they lose this massive bottom-of-the-table clash on Saturday at the London Stadium.

After two successful seasons in charge of the Hammers, which has seen Moyes lead the East London club to back-to-back European qualifications, the Scottish coach now faces the axe, with his side having picked up just one point from their last seven English Premier League matches.

That desperate run of form has seen West Ham slip to third from bottom in the table, one place above their opponents today. While defensively sound, the Hammers have suffered from a severe lack of goals, an issue Moyes will be hoping he has addressed with this week’s $18 million signing of striker Danny Ings from Aston Villa, with the 30-year-old forward set to make his debut in this crucial game.

Everton are equally goal-shy, with the Toffees’ inability to close out a game highlighted by their demoralizing 2-1 defeat at home to rock-bottom Southampton last weekend, a result that only served to heap more pressure on Lampard.

Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.

West Ham vs. Everton: When and where?

West Ham host Everton at the London Stadium on Saturday, Jan. 21. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time in the UK (10 a.m. ET, 7 a.m. PT in the US).

How to watch the West Ham vs. Everton game online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Looking for other options? Be sure to check out some of the other great VPN deals taking place right now.

Livestream the West Ham vs. Everton game in the US

This crucial EPL clash is streaming on Peacock. You’ll need a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus account to catch the game live.

Livestream the West Ham vs. Everton game in Canada

If you want to stream this clash at the London Stadium live in Canada, you’ll need to subscribe to FuboTV Canada. The service has exclusive rights to this Premier League season.

Can I livestream the West Ham vs. Everton game in the UK?

No broadcaster has the rights to show this game live in the UK, due to the traditional Saturday 3 p.m. kick-off blackout, which prohibits matches being shown in the region at that time in order to protect attendances throughout the English football pyramid.

That also means that if you’re in the UK traveling for pleasure or for work, you’re unlikely to be able to watch the game like you normally would at home thanks to geo-blocking.

There is one option to get around this, however. By using a VPN, as explained above, you can set your location to a country where the match is being broadcast and go from there.

Bill Gates Has Published the Original Microsoft Source Code

It’s «the coolest code I’ve ever written,» the Microsoft co-founder says.

If you want to see the original source code that started Microsoft, Bill Gates is now sharing it. On Wednesday, the Microsoft co-founder posted it on his Gates Notes blog, reminiscing about the company’s early days for its 50th anniversary. Gates has written plenty of code in those five decades but he called this «the coolest code I’ve ever written.»

Sharing a photo of himself holding a huge pile of paper showing the code, Gates wrote that he was inspired by the January 1975 copy of Popular Electronics magazine. The magazine had featured a cover photo of an Altair 8800, a groundbreaking personal computer created by a small company called MITS.

The 19-year-old Gates and his Harvard pal Paul Allen reached out to Altair’s creators and told them they had a version of the programming language BASIC for the chip that the Altair 8800 ran on. Such software would let people program the Altair.

«There was just one problem,» Gates wrote. «We didn’t.»

Micro-Soft is born

Gates said he and friends «coded day and night for two months to create the software we said already existed.» Gates and Allen then presented the code to the president of MITS, who agreed to license the software. «Altair BASIC became the first product of our new company, which we decided to call Micro-Soft,» Gates wrote. «We later dropped the hyphen.»

And the rest, as they say, is software history. You can download that 50-year-old code from Gates’s post. «Computer programming has come a long way over the last 50 years, but I’m still super proud of how it turned out,» he wrote.

Melinda Gates: new book

Also making headlines this week was Gates’s former wife, Melinda French Gates, whose new book, The Next Day, comes out April 15. As that date approaches, she’s opening up about the end of her marriage to Gates.

The couple divorced in 2021 after 27 years and three children. According to People magazine, Melinda French Gates wrote in the book that in 2019 she was «having nightmares about a beautiful house collapsing all around her — and then waking up in a panic night after night.»

She acknowledged what Bill Gates has publicly stated — that he wasn’t always faithful in the marriage — and said she was also disturbed by Gates’s meetings with child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Gates has since said he regrets meeting Epstein.

Melinda French Gates said her bad dreams would eventually change into images of her family on the edge of a cliff where she «plummeted» into a void. «I knew, in that moment, that I was going to have to make a decision — and that I was going to have to make it by myself,» she wrote, according to the People article.
