Burnley vs Manchester City kick-off time

Premier League - Premier League

Turf Moor

Burnley vs Manchester City will kick off on 22 Apr 2026 at 16:00 EST and 21:00 GMT.

Match preview

Scott Parker’s Clarets were heavily beaten 4-1 by Nottingham Forest on Sunday, with a one-goal half-time advantage wiped away after conceding four goals in the final 32 minutes, Burnley's 45th in their last 71 Premier League games. A 46th will officially relegate them to the second tier.

Four weeks after their EFL Cup final win over Arsenal, Man City struck a huge psychological blow in the Premier League title race with a massive 2-1 victory against the Gunners thanks to goals from Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland. One defeat in their last 20 league outings (W13, D6) shows that Pep Guardiola's side is hitting great form at an optimal time. Currently three points behind Arsenal with a game in hand, City travel to Turf Moor having accumulated more away points than any other Premier League team since the start of December.

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Burnley 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).

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.
