Manchester United vs Crystal Palace kick-off time

Premier League - Premier League

Old Trafford

Manchester United vs Crystal Palace will kick off on 1 Mar 2026 at 09:00 EST and 14:00 GMT.

Match preview

United are on their first 10-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League since 2021. It speaks a lot to the vast improvement under Michael Carrick after Ruben Amorim's departure from Old Trafford. It seems like a direct grapple with Liverpool and Chelsea to claim fourth place in the Premier League. The Red Devils currently occupy that slot.

Palace are in decent form themselves after a poor nine-match winless run between mid-December and 1 February. Now, they've won two of their last three and are looking upwards to the European places, rather than over their shoulder at the relegation zone. Oliver Glasner's side will be hoping that good omens on this ground can coax another good performance out of the Eagles. They'll lament the fact that Jean-Philippe Mateta, scorer of a winning brace in last season's corresponding fixture, won't be available.

Key stats & injury news

Defensive trio Patrick Dorgu, Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez all miss out, as does Mason Mount. The latter two are nearing returns to fitness, though.

Palace are without key strikers Jean-Philippe Mateta and Eddie Nketiah, as well as midfield dynamo Jefferson Lerma.

Benjamin Sesko has six goals in his last seven outings for United.

Palace have won on each of their last two visits to Old Trafford in the Premier League.

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Manchester United vs Crystal Palace 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.
