Today's EFL Championship play-off 1st leg clash will be shown exclusively live in the UK on Sky - and more specifically, Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football. Coverage from the Liberty Stadium begins at 6pm BST ahead of a 6.30pm kick-off. 

If you're not a Sky subscriber, fear not - you can still easily watch Swansea City vs Brentford online or on TV right now. That's because of Sky's excellent value streaming offshoot, Now TV. 

A Now TV Sky Sports Pass gets you access to all 11 Sky Sports channels and can be had for as little as £9.99 a day - though the Monthly Pass is WAY better value as it covers you for the rest of the Championship playoffs as well as getting you live coverage of F1 racing, Test cricket, PGA Tour golf, NBA basketball, rugby, and loads more.

if you're from the UK but happen to away from home, you can get your usual Swansea vs Brentford live stream from abroad - but you'll need a VPN  to relocate your IP back to the UK and get around the region restrictions. Just follow the instructions above.

For football fans Down Under, beIN Sports has the exclusive rights to show the EFL Championship playoffs, including this game between Swansea City and Brentford. Kick-off in Australia is at 3.30am on Monday morning, with beIN Sports 2 the channel to head to.

If you're a Foxtel customer, you can add beIN to your package for an extra fee. No worries if you aren't, though, as you can also subscribe to beIN on a streaming-only basis via beIN Sports Connect. It costs just AU$19.99 per month and there's a FREE 2-week trial on offer.

That said, sports streaming specialist Kayo Sports includes beIN in its packages and for just an extra $5 a month also gets you coverage of all the sport shown by ESPN in Australia.

A Kayo Basic plan costs just $25 a month and lets you stream on two screens, while Premium is a mere $35 a month for simultaneous viewing on up to three devices. 

Of the two, Kayo Sports Premium represents the best value as it offers multi-screen support - which means you can effectively split the price of a monthly subscription between friends or family and pay way less.

There's a FREE14-day Kayo Sports trial on offer, so you can check it out for yourself without committing a penny, and its app works across PCs, Macs, smartphones, tablets, select smart TVs and more.

Remember, too, that if you subscribe to an Australian streaming service but find yourself away from the continent for the Championship playoffs you can still tune in just like you would at home - just grab a VPN as per our guide above.
