Avoid sites that advertise free live streams of every match. They are usually unlicensed, and they often carry intrusive ads or malware.

Most matches kick off at either 18:45 or 21:00 UK time, which is 12:45 or 15:00 US Eastern time. Check the official fixture list for your time zone, because kick-off times differ by match and by country.
