The festive season in the UK might never guarantee snow, but one thing is does guarantee is a fantastic amount of football. We've almost had our fill of festive footballing treats for one year, but tonight is the last night to chow down on some quality action.
There are two games on tonight, and both of them are a tantalising prospect. First up, Tottenham Hotspur take on Brighton and Hove Albion in a game that sees two rivals for European football going head to head. Then, Arsenal take on West Ham to try and regain top spot from Liverpool.
How to Watch Tonight's Games in the UK
Tonight's games don't kick off at the same time. Tottenham vs Brighton gets going at 7:30pm GMT, and Arsenal's clash against West Ham kicks off at 8:15pm GMT. December midweek fixtures mean that the usual UK broadcasters of Sky Sports and TNT won't be showing these games, as it's part of Amazon's deal to broadcast select Premier League games throughout the season.
Amazon has the rights to most midweek games in December, which means if you're in the UK and you already have an Amazon account, you don't need to do anything to be able to watch these games. If you're in the UK and you don't have a Prime Video account yet, you can still watch the midweek games for free by grabbing a 30-day free trial and watching that way.
How to Watch Tonight's Games in the US
If you're in the US, your times for the Tottenham vs Brighton game is 2:30pm ET, 11:30am PT. The Arsenal game is 3:15 pm EST, 12:15 pm PT. You've got a couple of options to choose from when it comes to watching these tilts. Peacock will be showing the games (sign up for $5.99), or you can always connect your VPN to a server in the UK. From there, you can either login to your existing Prime account and watch the games there instead.
Buying a VPN here is the more expensive option, but it will open you up to a lot more soccer freebies like this in the future. For example the Europa League and Champions League finals will be free to view in the UK, but paid in the US -- but with a VPN you can bypass this geolocking.
Here's a quick step by step:
- Sign up/ install your streaming-friendly VPN, like ExpressVPN
- Download the app on your preferred device (compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more).
- Open the app and connect to any server in the United Kingdom
- Sign-up for Prime Video 30-day free trial (don't forget to cancel your trial before the 30 days are up, otherwise you will be charged)
- Clear your cache if you encounter any issues
- Enjoy the game
If you're signing up for a new account, you might need to provide a UK postcode, but don't worry, you can use any postcode, like this one, which is for 10 Downing Street: SW1A 2AA

If you need a deeper dive, check out our roundup of the best VPNs.
People can sometimes see the yearly subscription cost of a VPN and shy away. It might look like a lot on paper, but in reality you are getting a lot for your money.
You can unlock geo-restricted content from anywhere in the world and enjoy a whole new world of movies and TV-shows without having to pay extra for them.
They are also incredibly useful beyond just bypassing geoblocking. They're great for avoiding server issues on games or restrictive skill-based-matchmaking (SBMM), online data encryption, shielding your identity, lightning-quick connectivity, and ensuring access to otherwise restricted sites. It's a seriously good investment.

You'll also be getting an additional 3-months free. So at the equivalent of $6.67 per month, you're getting 15-months of coverage under one of the best VPNs available at the moment.
