Aston Villa vs Derby live stream: how to watch 2019 Championship play-off final from anywhere

To watch Villa against the Rams, the stations you need to tune to are either of Sky Sports Football or Main Event. Build up starts at 2pm or you can head to the former earlier if you want to see the highlights from the two other play-off finals from the weekend.

Not got Sky? No problems...pay £8.99 to Now TV and you can get yourself a day pass to every single Sky Sports channel for 24 hours.

And if you happen to be out of the house but want to watch on your mobile, laptop or tablet, there's always the Sky Go and Now apps that you can download so that you don't miss a single minute.

Out of the UK? Try to watch the game from abroad and you'll find that the Sky and Now geo-block their coverage. But that doesn't mean you can't watch - you could download and install a VPN service, which will help you to make your laptop or mobile appear like it's back in the UK...

The only legal alternative we know of is to download and install a Virtual Private Network (or VPN). The software allows you to change your IP address to a server in another country so that you can watch online as if you were there. What's more, using a VPN also makes you more secure online, as your activity will be encrypted.

We've tested and reviewed more than 100 providers to see which one to recommend and we rate ExpressVPN as the absolute best. It's fast, secure and compatible on loads of different devices (Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, PS4, etc). It heads up our top 3 picks (see below) and it even comes with a 30-day money back guarantee so that you you can try before you buy.

1. ExpressVPN:  the best all-round VPN for streaming, comes with 30-day trial and 3 months FREE with an annual plan
2. NordVPN: SmartPlay tech makes NordVPN a great, affordable choice for streaming
3. IPVanish: puts premium on security and supports up to 10 devices, so great on the go

Once you're up and running with your chosen provider, you then simply need to open the app and select the appropriate location - it's super easy to do.

Having launched in 2018, online subscription service ESPN+ is now picking up more and more momentum - along with a greater range of sports. And now's it's managed to snag this huge football encounter, too.

It only costs $4.99 per month and allows you to watch online as well as via its mobile app and TV streamer apps on the likes of Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, PS4 and Xbox.

But the best news is that you can grab a seven-day FREE trial. So if you haven't used ESPN+ before, you can sign up for that and get a taster of its sports coverage without paying a thing.
