Burnley vs Chelsea live stream and how to watch the Premier League online and on TV, team news

Chelsea lock horns with Burnley at Turf Moor today, 5th March. With title hopes beginning to fade, a big win over Burnley will be needed to stop the top four chasing pack from getting too close. For Sean Dyche's side, it's a chance to drag themselves out of the relegation spots. Make sure you know how to watch a Burnley vs Chelsea live stream online and on TV wherever you are.

US soccer fans can watch a Burnley vs Chelsea live stream, and many more Premier League matches, on USA Network through free trials on Sling and FuboTV. Don't forget to use a VPN if you're a US fan stuck outside the States. Burnley vs Chelsea will not be televised in the UK. 

The team news is in and Burnley line up as expected in a 4-4-2 with Weghoust and Rodriguez up front. Chelsea play James and Saul Niguez at wing-back with Pulisic, Mount and Havertz in attack.

With Roman Abramovich's sale of Chelsea hogging the headlines, and the potential new owners likely to be watching closely, manager Thomas Tuchel will be keen to avoid any embarrassing slip-ups at Turf Moor.

The Clarets might be stuck in 18th place but having bagged seven points from three Premier League clashes in recent weeks. Sean Dyche's men will be up for a scrap. A decent result against Chelsea could, finally, dig Burnley out of their season-long mire.

As for the Blues, they wiped away the memory of their Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool with a 3-2 win over Luton in the FA Cup this week. Ben Chilwell is likely to sit out Saturday's game with a knee niggle but history is firmly on Chelsea's side. In fact, the Blues have won four out of their last five meetings with Burnley.

Kick-off is at 3pm GMT (9am ET) Saturday 5th March 2022. Read on to find out how to watch a Burnley vs Chelsea live stream, wherever you are in the world, on TV, online and on mobile.

US: Burnley vs Chelsea live stream

Premier League football fans in the US can watch a Burnley vs Chelsea live stream on USA Network which can be accessed through cable-cutting services Sling and FuboTV.

Sling currently has a 3-day free trial offer and there's a free trial of FuboTV too. There are no long contracts with either service. If you're not happy with them, you can cancel them at any time.

Of course, Sling and FuboTV are only available within the States so be sure to use a VPN if you're a US subscriber stuck abroad. We recommend ExpressVPN as it's reliable and comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.

Watch a Burnley vs Chelsea live stream from abroad using a VPN

Even if you have subscribed to the relevant Burnley vs Chelsea live stream rights holders, you won't be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. VPNs are easy to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.

There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 percent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30 days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.

How to use a VPN

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend.

2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For Burnley vs Chelsea, you may wish to choose 'US' for Sling or FuboTV.

3. Then head over to Sling or FuboTV on your browser or device and enjoy the Burnley vs Chelsea live stream.

If, for whatever reason, you can't get it working, do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money back guarantee with ExpressVPN. You could also try NordVPN, which also comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, and Surfshark which offers 24 hour assistance.

The show won't be available straight after the programme finishes its live broadcast. Weekend editions of Match Of The Day will be online from midnight on Monday (in practice, the early hours of Tuesday morning), while midweek episodes will be on iPlayer from midnight the day after it's broadcast.

You can download Match Of The Day for offline viewing, but it is time-sensitive and will disappear as soon as the programme leaves iPlayer.
