Leeds vs Manchester City will kick off on 28 Feb 2026 at 12:30 EST and 17:30 GMT.

Match preview

We've seen this movie before. Man City, champions in six of the last eight Premier League seasons, are desperate to reclaim the crown they lost to Liverpool last term. After an uncharacteristically sloppy first half of the campaign, Pep Guardiola's side is hitting its stride with four consecutive league wins since a defeat to Man United on 17 January. Norwegian goal-machine Erling Haaland, born in Leeds, will need no extra motivation to help his side claw themselves back to within two points of leaders Arsenal.

The Peacocks have been difficult to beat, only losing two of their last 16 matches across all competitions since a 3-2 defeat to City in November. However, eight matches in that sequence of 16 have been drawn matches in the Premier League. They've also recorded stalemates in their last three outings inside 90 minutes.

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Leeds vs Manchester City today

NordVPN

1. Download & Install: Sign up to ExpressVPN or another reputable VPN service (check out GOAL's guide here) and download the app on your device.
2. Connect to a Server: Open the app and select a server location where the match is being shown (e.g. if you are in the UK but want to watch a US stream, connect to a US server).
3. Clear Cache: Sometimes your browser holds onto your old location. Clear your cookies or refresh your browser to ensure the change takes effect.
4. Start Streaming: Go to your broadcaster's website and app and enjoy the game.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
