First airing in 1964, MOTD continues to neatly round up all of the highlights of the day's Premier League action every Saturday night throughout the season, with its sister show Match of the Day 2 providing the same service on a Sunday.

England legend Gary Lineker remains the regular host on Saturdays, punctuating the banter-filled expert analysis from fellow veterans such as Alan Shearer and Ian Wright.

On Sundays it's the turn of Mark Chapman to preside over the day's big action and talking points, with analysis coming from a revolving line up of former-pros-turned-pundits that predominantly features Jermaine Jenas, Martin Keown, Danny Murphy and Micah Richards.

MOTD is a godsend for footy fans that don't have access to pay TV live broadcasts from the likes of Sky Sports and BT earlier on in the day, and remains a must watch for any self-respecting footy fan looking to keep up with all of the drama the EPL provides.

We've listed everything you need to know about how to stream Match of the Day in the UK and abroad below.

How to watch Match of the Day from abroad

If you're currently living in the UK, then streaming Match of the Day is a piece of cake. If you're abroad however, things get a touch more complicated. If you try to access BBC iPlayer outside of the UK, you'll get stopped in your tracks by a geo-block telling you that you're in the wrong country.

Thankfully, this is an easy wall to get around, as you can simply download and use a VPN to watch the show. A VPN is a smart piece of tech that allows you to alter your IP address to appear elsewhere in the world, in this case - the UK.

Then you can easily sit back and nod your head in agreement with Alan Shearer's deadpan dissections of the day's action.

Using a VPN to watch MOTD is as easy as one-two-three...

1. Download and install a VPN - as we say, our top choice is ExpressVPN

2. Connect to the appropriate server location - open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate location

3. Go to the broadcaster's live stream - so if you're from the UK, just head to the BBC iPlayer streaming site or app
