Manchester United and Greek team PAOK meet in a competitive match for the first time today in this UEFA Europa League clash at Old Trafford.
The hosts have yet to register a win so far in this tournament this season, following draws with with FC Twente, FC Porto and Fenerbahce. With it now over a year since the club registered a European win, United will be determined to claim a victory at home today in what is set to be Ruud van Nistelrooy’s penultimate game in charge. The United legend has been acting as interim manager ahead of Sporting’s Ruben Amorim officially taking charge.
The Red Devils face a PAOK team that are also looking to record their first victory in this tournament, having slipped to defeats to Galatasaray and FCSB, before coming back from two goals down against Viktoria Plzen to gain their first point of the campaign in their last fixture.
Man United take on PAOK on Thursday, Nov. 27, at Old Trafford. Kickoff is set for an 8 p.m. GMT start local time in the UK, which is 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT in the US and Canada, and a 7 a.m. AEDT start in Australia on Friday morning.

How to watch every UEFA Europa League 2024/25 game online from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view Europa League matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the games — 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.

ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It’s normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100 you’ll get three months free and save 49%. That’s the equivalent of $6.67 a month with code SPECIALDEAL, which should be automatically applied.
Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Quick tips for streaming UEFA Europa League matches using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming Europa League games may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try to fix quickly. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- Remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
