Arguably the pick of this week's Carabao Cup second-round matches sees Nottingham Forest host Newcastle in an all-Premier League match-up at the City Ground.
Forest have made a promising start to the new season, with Nuno Espírito Santo's side unbeaten after drawing against Bournemouth at home in the opening weekend, before claiming a narrow 1-0 away win against Southampton last Saturday.
In a twist of fate, Newcastle have faced the same two opponents as Forest in their opening two EPL fixtures, with Eddie Howe's Magpies having also beaten Southampton and drawn with Bournemouth, indicating today's encounter may be a tight affair.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.
This Carabao Cup second-round game between Nottingham Forest and Newcastle takes place at the City Ground on Wednesday, Aug. 28. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. local time in the UK which is 3 p.m. ET and 12 p.m. PT in the US, and 5 a.m. AEDT on Thursday, Aug. 29, in Australia.
Anthony Gordon earned Newcastle a point thanks to his 77th minute strike in his side's 1-1 draw away to Bournemouth at the weekend.

If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch this match -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
