Sunderland vs Liverpool kick-off time

Premier League - Premier League

Stadium of Light

Sunderland vs Liverpool kicks off on 11 Feb 2026 at 15:15 EST and 20:15 GMT.

Match preview

Liverpool is smarting after a dramatic defeat to Manchester City last time out. They thought that Dominik Szoboszlai's stunning free-kick had them on course for a win at Anfield, but late goals from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland condemned the Reds to sixth position in the league, although they do have a game in hand and can go within three points of the top four with a win here.

They face a tough test at Sunderland, who are, amazingly, the only team unbeaten at home in the Premier League this season. The Black Cats have collected 26 points at home this term, making them the fourth-best side in the division in that metric.

Injury news, suspensions, key stats

Sunderland are without skipper Granit Xhaka and winger Bertrand Traore.

Sunderland are winless in 11 meetings with Liverpool.

Dominik Szoboszlai is suspended for the visitors after his dismissal against City. Conor Bradley, Alexander Isak, Jeremie Frimpong and Stefan Bajcetic are all sidelined long-term. 

Liverpool has conceded four 90th-minute winners this term, the joint-most in a single EPL campaign.

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Sunderland vs Liverpool 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.
