Following their 0-0 draw a couple weeks ago, Aston Villa and Chelsea will meet in a replay of their fourth-round FA Cup tie at Villa Park on Wednesday. Villa are looking to get back to the Round of 16 for the first time since 2015, while Chelsea were last there two seasons ago when they made a third-consecutive trip to the final.
In the United States, the match starts at 3:00 p.m. ET. It won’t be on TV, but you can watch Aston Villa vs Chelsea live on ESPN+. That’s the only option in the US, but it’s a good one if you’re a soccer fan.

Every FA Cup match, from Aston Villa vs Chelsea today right on through to the final in May, will stream exclusively on ESPN+. It’s not always fun to have to add another streaming service to the seemingly ever-growing list, but ESPN+ is a necessity for soccer fans. In addition to the FA Cup, you’ll get English Football Championship, Bundesliga, La Liga, Copa del Rey and other smaller leagues, as well as tons of other live sports, original shows, “The Two Escobars” and every other 30-for-30 documentary and even written content that isn’t available on ESPN’s regular website.
All of that is just $11 per month or $15 per month if you want a bundle of ESPN+, Hulu and Disney+.
