As I post this, the Aki basho is well into the middle of Jonidan for Day 1 This is a quick step by step to watch the basho live if you reside outside of Japan.  I'm sure this has already been posted (Akinomaki?), but here is how to watch it with step by step instructions by using a proxy switcher via Google Chrome and screenshots of what I do.  1.  Pick an IP address and port number at this link.  It is a list of proxies from Japan which will change your location to a Japanese IP address. The one I chose (copy) is IP ADDRESS: 27.135.210.77 with PORT: 80  You can pick any one on the list, I just like to choose any 'Elite' with a faster 'Response Time'  2.  Click on 'Settings' located on the top right corner of the Google Chrome browser
 3.  Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and click on to 'Advanced'
 4.  Scroll to the bottom of this next page and click on 'Open proxy settings'
 5.  A small window will open where you click on to the button - LAN settings
 6.  Another smaller window will open as seen below.  Here, under where it says Proxy server, check the tiny box so that a green check mark appears and enter your copied IP address as well as it's port number from step 1.  Finally, Click the ok button.
 7.  Open a new tab on Google Chrome to the Sportsnavi Live player website here -->https://sports.mb.softbank.jp/genre/sumo and be sure to pick the correct day from a drop down list on the top right corner

It will take a few tries until it connects.   I usually end up reloading the page no more than 3 times.  A black screen with 'an error occured' will appear with a rotating blue circle around it which is a good sign... Just be patient and wait. Depending on how long or quickly it takes to connect to your chosen Japan proxy you will be able to watch the basho live.   Edit:  Please note, the connection is not secure when changing proxy server.  Be sure to un-check the small box at step 6 afterwards if choosing this method of watching the livestream
