Barcelona face a tricky Catalan derby test on Sunday as they host Espanyol at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium in this key Spanish Primera fixture.
It's been a superb start to the season for the league-leading Blaugrana under new boss Hansi Flick, with statement wins in October over Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League as well as Alaves, Sevilla and Real Madrid in La Liga.
With Real not playing this weekend due to their match with Valencia being postponed, a win today for Barca would see them open up a massive 9 point lead over their title rivals at the top of the table.
Espanyol are struggling in 17th position in the division, but come into this derby clash off the back of a 4-0 win over San Tirso in the Copa del Rey.
Barcelona take on Espanyol at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 3. Kickoff is set for 4:15 p.m. CET local time, making it a 10:15 a.m. ET and 7:15 a.m. PT start in the US, a 3:15 p.m. start in the UK and a 2:15 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia early on Sunday morning.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world.

If you find yourself unable to view La Liga 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.
