The AFC West looks incredible this year, so it is that the result of every divisional game will prove vital come the end of the season. We may be getting slightly ahead of ourselves here, but both the Raiders and the Chargers harbour serious Super Bowl ambitions, and there may be a bit of bad blood between the teams after what happened in January. Make sure you know how to watch a Raiders vs Chargers live stream and catch the NFL action wherever you are.

NFL fans in Australia can live stream the Raiders vs Chargers free on 7Plus. Aussies trying to tune in from abroad will need to use a VPN to access the stream.

The Bolts lost to the Raiders in overtime in the final game of the regular season, bringing a campaign that had promised so much to a bitter, premature end. They had nobody to blame but themselves, but that won't stop them from taking their frustrations out on their divisional rivals, who are now led by Josh McDaniels.

Justin Herbert looks every inch an MVP candidate, but moreso now than ever before, since the Chargers have strengthened their offensive line. Former Raider Khalil Mack is now part of a two-headed pass-rushing monster along with Joey Bosa, though this game will come too soon for new cornerback J.C. Jackson, who's still getting up to speed after ankle surgery.

Derek Carr's reunion with Davante Adams has got Black and Silver fans dreaming – no school record was safe when the duo joined forces at Fresno State. Next stop, Super Bowl? That's the plan now that the postseason drought is over, and Chandler Jones and Maxx Crosby will be instrumental to their chances.

It's a 4.25pm ET / 9.25pm BST kick-off at SoFi Stadium, today, 11th September 2022. Read on for more details on how to watch a Raiders vs Chargers live stream, wherever you are in the world.

Watch a Raiders vs Chargers live stream from abroad using a VPN

Even if you've subscribed to the relevant NFL streaming service, you won't be able to access it when you're outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. VPNs are a doddle to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.

There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN, which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money-back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30 days, you can cancel with no penalties at all.
