The England vs. Australia Rugby World Cup 2019 match will take place on Saturday, October 19 at 8:15 AM BST (3:15 AM EST / 16:15 PM JST local time). There’s no need to miss out on the action, no matter your location, though; by connecting to a server in another country with a VPN, you can live stream England vs. Australia for free, even if you’re abroad.
Please keep in mind that we’ll only be recommending official sources for watching England vs. Australia. Unauthorized streams are notoriously unreliable and may cause you to miss out on much of the action. After all, unlicensed sources tend to offer poor resolution video and frequent performance issues, plus they can be taken offline for copyright infringement. Fortunately, there are numerous official sources for watching England vs. Australia online free so you don’t need to resort to unofficial streams.
Only region-locked platforms are showing England vs. Australia. A VPN can help you unblock this geo-restricted content and live stream the quarter-final match from abroad.
How to watch England vs. Australia live online free
Here’s how you can spoof your location with a VPN, allowing you to live stream the England vs. Australia match for free abroad:
- Sign up with a suitable VPN service. We recommend ExpressVPN but NordVPN and CyberGhost are reliable, good value alternatives that also unblock ITV Hub.
- Download and install the app for the device on which you’d like to watch England vs. Australia. The above VPNs also offer browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox.
- Open the VPN app and connect to a server in the country from which you want to watch the match. For example, a server in the UK for ITV Hub or a server in Australia for 10 Play. You’ll then have a UK or Australian IP address for watching abroad.
- If you’re using ITV Hub, you’ll need to create a free account. This requires an email address, password, and personal details (including a UK postal code — any will do).
- Go to the platform in question. All content (including live streams) should be unblocked. If you’re still having trouble, clear your browser’s cache and cookies and try again.
The above steps should allow you to watch England vs. Australia online for free. However, it’s good practice to test your VPN in advance. This way, if you have any trouble, you can potentially avoid missing the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals by contacting your VPN’s customer support for further assistance.
How to live stream England vs. Australia free on UK TV
All of the Rugby World Cup 2019 matches are on ITV. This means you can watch England vs. Australia online on ITV Hub. You will have to create an ITV Hub account but fortunately, this is completely free and only takes a few seconds. An email address and password is required, plus you’ll also be asked for your name, date of birth, and a UK postcode (any valid UK postcode will work).
As the ITV Hub is region-locked, rugby fans outside of the UK will have to connect to a VPN to be able to watch. This will allow you to obtain a UK IP address for watching ITV Hub abroad. You may be interested to know that ExpressVPN includes a 30-day money back guarantee. As such, you can test it with ITV Hub risk-free and receive a full refund if you’re unsatisfied.

There are a few ways to watch the England vs. Australia quarter-final match in Australia. Arguably the best is with Network Ten which is broadcasting all of Australia’s games online for free.
