West Bromwich Albion vs Ipswich kick-off time

Championship - Championship

The Hawthorns

West Brom vs Ipswich will kick off on 25 Apr 2026 at 07:30 EST and 12:30 GMT. 

Match preview

Since a 2-1 defeat at relegation rivals Oxford on February 28, West Brom have strung together a stunning nine-game unbeaten run (W4 D5) to virtually secure their Championship status.

Ipswich are still in the heat of the race for automatic promotion to the Premier League. A single point across fixtures with Portsmouth and Middlesbrough was a blip, but Wednesday night's win at Charlton was a timely boost. The Tractor Boys sit second and have a game in hand on their nearest rivals. Three points here would put them within touching distance of the promised land.

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch West Bromwich Albion vs Ipswich 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.
