Chelsea vs Luton Town live stream: watch the FA Cup free in HD

Don't be surprised to see Frank Lampard field a strong side for the FA Cup fixture at home to Luton Town on Sunday. The under-fire Chelsea boss cannot afford any embarrassing slip-ups against lower league opposition with his job on the line. Make sure you know how to watch a Chelsea vs Luton Town live stream for free in HD wherever you are in the world.

In many ways Luton are the perfect opposition for some Chelsea feel-good. The Hatters have lost seven of their last eight FA Cup ties against Premier League teams. Sitting thirteenth in the Championships Luton's form is patchy although they may fancy the trip to Stamford Bridge as something of a free hit.

Chelsea will be buoyed by the likely return of N'Golo Kante after a two-game absence. He may be joined by fresh faces like Billy Gilmour and Tino Anjorin and a switch in goal back to Kepa could be on the cards too.

Kick-off in this 4th round FA Cup fixture is on Sunday 24th January at midday (GMT) and 7am (EST). Read on to find out how to watch a Chelsea vs Luton Town free live stream, wherever you are in the world.

The BBC has the rights to air Chelsea vs Luton Town in the UK, and it's worth remembering that you can enjoy the coverage for free from abroad too as a UK national using a VPN (more details below).

Chelsea vs Luton Town will be available on UK TVs on BBC One or through the BBC iPlayer app which you can view on a smart TV, tablet, smartphone or through your browser.

Even if you have access to the BBC, you won't be able to watch the BBC iPlayer app when outside the UK without a VPN. 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. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing aren’t aware of what you’re doing. 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 per cent 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.

Once you’ve made your choice, all you need to do is sign in to your VPN service through whichever device you’d like to use to watch Chelsea vs Luton Town.

When prompted to select a server, you need to pick one which is based in the country whose content you’d like to access. Then navigate to the relevant video streaming app or website and you’re in.

You'll be able to continue using ExpressVPN from then on to watch anything else on iPlayer and other services which may also otherwise block you.
