How to watch the Premier League live: online, on TV and abroad

The 2023/24 Premier League is fast approaching its end and we have the most exciting title race in years.

Arsenal are currently top but have played a game more than current champions Man City in second place. Liverpool’s patchy recent form risks leaving them adrift, although they are almost guaranteed to finish at least third.

Behind them, surprise packages Aston Villa face Tottenham for fourth place, with fifth place now unlikely to be good enough for a Champions League spot. But there is a big gap with Man Utd, Newcastle, West Ham and Chelsea vying for the remaining European positions.

On the other hand, Everton and Nottingham Forest are both out of the relegation zone despite points deductions, although there is more to come. Luton and Burnley both still have a chance to avoid the drop, but Sheffield United appear to have been assigned to the drop.

With another crucial round of weekend fixtures just around the corner, here’s how to watch the Premier League live, whether you live in the UK, the US or elsewhere.

How to watch the Premier League in Great Britain

In Great Britain, only 200 of the 380 matches are shown live. Sky Sports has the majority of these, but there are also some on TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) and two full rounds on Amazon Prime Video.

Air sports

You have several options when it comes to Sky Sports. The first is to obtain one TV packagewhich starts at £46 per month (£26 per month entertainment subscription, £20 for Sky Sports add-on) for 18 months.

If you don’t mind paying a monthly subscription for your TV, Sky Glass is also worth considering. Currently you can get a 43-inch TV (48 month contract) with an 18 month contract from Sky Sports, Sky Entertainment and Netflix (Standard with Ads). €62 per month with €10 in advance.

Alternatively, you can add the functionality to your existing TV via Sky Stream. It starts at €43 per month for an 18 month subscription including Sky Entertainment, Netflix and Sky Sports.

All of the above includes access on your phone, tablet and/or laptop via Sky Go.

That doesn’t apply to Sky’s Now streaming service, but it is a more affordable option. A Now Sports membership (including all 11 Sky Sports channels) costs £34.99 per month at full price, but offers are often available.

You might also want to add Now Boost, which adds 1080p video (instead of the usual 720p), removes ads, and lets you stream on up to three devices at once (instead of the usual). After a one-month free trial period, it costs an additional €6 per month.

TNT Sports

BT Sport has been rebranded as TNT Sports, but not much has changed in terms of available plans.

At full price, the cheapest package cost £20 per month with a monthly rolling contract, although you are limited to the Discovery+ app. However, it also includes Eurosport 1 & 2 and the Discovery+ Premium streaming service.

But if you’d rather stream all the action and don’t want a recordable TV box, it makes more sense to just add TNT Sports to Discovery+. That costs £20 a month for BT Broadband customers, but you’ll need it monthly subscription otherwise for €30.99 per month.

And if you want combine TNT Sports with Sky Sports (known as ‘Big Sport’), it will cost you £45 per month for full price.

Amazon Prime Video

To access Prime Video’s live games, all you need to do is be subscribed to Amazon Prime in some capacity.

After a 30-day free trial, it costs £8.99 per month or £95 per year. But there are plenty of other benefits, including free next-day delivery on many items, unlimited photo storage, and access to select music and games.

But if you don’t think you’ll use any of that, you can just get Prime Video for £5.99 a month. Just click ‘View more plans’ on the sign-up page.

How to watch the Premier League in the US

In the US, NBC has exclusive English-language rights to the Champions League. All 380 games will be broadcast live on major NBC channels, NBC-owned USA Network and the Peacock streaming service.

Peacock has the most games, and it’s also the most affordable. It starts at $5.99 per month/$59.99 per year for ‘Premium’, or $11.99 per month/$119.99 to step up to the ad-free ‘Premium Plus’. You can sign up for both on Peacock’s website.

Things are a little more complicated for NBC itself and USA Network if you don’t want to pay for cable.

The most hassle-free way is to sign up for live TV streaming services like YouTube TV ($72.99 per month), Sling TV (requires $45 per month Sling Blue), or Hulu+ Live TV ($76.99 per month). None of these are cheap, but they offer plenty of other benefits.

How to watch the Premier League outside the UK and US

Before you try to watch British or American TV from abroad, it’s worth checking which broadcaster has the rights to the Premier League where you are. View the full list of international broadcasters on the Premier League website.

But if you’re just visiting another country, it’s wise to access your UK or US plan, which requires a VPN. We use NordVPN for the purposes of this tutorial, but there are plenty of great alternatives in our best VPN chart.
