Watford host West Ham United at Vicarage Road on Saturday 29 August, with kick-off at 3pm BST. The Championship fixture is not being shown live on Sky Sports or Sky Sports+ in the UK, and UK supporters cannot watch a legal live video stream through West Ham TV.
However, West Ham have now confirmed that live video coverage is available through West Ham TV in eligible overseas territories, while live audio commentary is available worldwide.

No. Watford vs West Ham has not been selected for live Sky Sports coverage in the UK.
The match remains at the traditional Saturday 3pm BST kick-off time, while Sky’s confirmed live EFL selections do not include the fixture.
That means supporters in the UK cannot watch the game on Sky Sports, Sky Sports+ or NOW.
