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.

Meta Debuts More Instagram Protections for Teen Users. Here’s What’s New
Accounts for teenagers using Meta’s platform, especially Instagram, will be getting new protections for direct messages and to help users spot potential scammers.
Meta this week unveiled the latest efforts it’s making to bolster the safety of teens and kids on its social media apps, with a particular focus on the teen-skewing Instagram. The company has touted these new features for Instagram in a blog post, most notably adding more information and warnings about accounts that teens might try to contact via direct messages.
«We’ve added new safety features to DMs in Teen Accounts to give teens more context about the accounts they’re messaging and help them spot potential scammers,» the post explained. «Now, teens will see new options to view safety tips and block an account, as well as the month and year the account joined Instagram, all prominently displayed at the top of new chats.»
DMs have also been given new block and report function, which Meta claims will allow and encourage users to do both at the same time when they run into sketchy accounts.
The company also reported that in June, 1 million Teen Accounts reported or blocked accounts, and another 1 million used the Location Notice feature to see if an account messaging them was in a different country.
Speaking to CNET, Meta confirmed that the new DM features and the block/report options are exclusive to Instagram for now, but that they «may explore bringing them to [Facebook] Messenger in the future.» The safety and location notices touted in the blog post are available on Instagram and Facebook.
Meta has faced many accusations over the years about the effects its platforms have on minors. Just last year, bombshell accusations emerged from a memoir by a Meta whistleblower, claiming that the company served ads to teenagers based on their emotional states.
Meta denied those claims but has taken steps in recent years to offer improved safety features for underage users on its platforms, built around new «Teen Accounts,» which limit the ability of young users to be contacted and to see certain content.
Meta will also be rolling out similar protections for accounts run by adults that share a great deal of content related to children, such as those who post pictures and videos of their children, and accounts for children managed by their parents. The blog post explained that while such accounts «are overwhelmingly used in benign ways, unfortunately there are people who may try to abuse them, leaving sexualized comments under their posts or asking for sexual images in DMs.»
For those family blogging-style accounts, Meta is extending protections including, «automatically placing these accounts into our strictest message settings to prevent unwanted messages, and turning on Hidden Words, which filters offensive comments.»
The changes will be rolling out in the next few months.

These $130 Asus Gaming Headphones Get Almost Everything Right
The Asus ROG Pelta is a pair of fantastic gaming headphones at a great price.
Pros
- Sound great
- Comfortable
- Customizable sound
- Affordable
- Three connection modes
Cons
- No noise cancellation
- No Xbox support
- Minimal headband adjustment
After reviewing the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 headset last year, I was impressed by just how much a good headset can improve the gaming experience. While headsets like the Stealth 700s are great, they’re also expensive. The ROG Pelta headphones from Asus, on the other hand, nail the basics while being more affordable.
I’ve been testing the Pelta’s for several weeks now and I’m quite impressed. They get just about everything right and only cost $130. That’s still a fair amount of money, but much of what you get with the Pelta is often only found on headsets that cost twice as much.
What I like about the Asus ROG Pelta
For starters, the 50mm titanium-plated drivers sound great. No matter what game I played, I heard everything clearly. Both music and movies sounded fantastic, almost as good as my $300 Sony XM3 headphones.
The best part is that with the Asus Armory Crate app you can customize the sound profile in detail. Asus gives you lots of options for tuning the headphones precisely to your liking, which is a welcome touch at this price. There are some custom profiles as well for those who just want to pick one and leave it. To be honest, I never felt the need to switch from the default settings during my entire time with the Peltas.
They’re also comfortable to wear. The earcups fit well over my ears, and the cushions are comfortable — more so than the Stealth 700s. They’re made of soft mesh material that gives them greater breathability than others I’ve used. They’re also very lightweight. There’s no carrying case, which is disappointing.
Microphone quality is also solid. I never had any teammates complain about not being able to hear me, and I even took a few video calls with them and didn’t have any issues. The mic is also removable, which is convenient, so it doesn’t get in the way when you’re not using it.
The 70-hour battery life (90 on Bluetooth) is quite decent, and you can get 3 hours of usage with 15 minutes of charging.
The Pelta’s can connect to PC, Mac, PlayStation, Switch and mobile devices via Bluetooth or a 2.4GHz USB-C dongle. There’s also an included USB-C cable with an adapter if you want to go the wired route. The odd part is that there’s no Xbox support.
What I didn’t like about the Asus ROG Pelta
The only real downside is that the headband is not telescoping, which means there are only three predetermined positions for adjusting the headset. This may not be a problem for most, but I have a small, weirdly shaped head and the Pelta never quite fit as snugly as I would have liked. I always felt like they would slip off at any moment. They never did, but it always felt like they were about to.
There’s also no 3.5mm headphone jack. I get that this is becoming more common these days, but it’s still annoying. There are still those of us who want a good analog connection from time to time.
Noise cancellation also doesn’t make an appearance, but that’s not uncommon on gaming headphones, especially at this price.
Should you buy the Asus ROG Pelta?
Overall, for $130, there’s really not much to dislike about the ROG Pelta headphones. They work with almost any device, sound great, have good battery life and are quite comfortable. If you’re looking for a good gaming headset that won’t have your wallet complaining, and you don’t have an Xbox, the Pelta’s should be high on the list.
