The Premier League is back, everyone! After a summer indulging in pies and feigning interest in cricket, it’s finally time for the real action.
Man City is feeling confident as they chase a fourth consecutive title (greedy, right?), but Arsenal is right behind them. At the same time, Liverpool and Chelsea are looking to shake things up with their fresh managers. Who knows, maybe the Toon Army will surprise us all (one can hope, right?).
And let’s not forget the newcomers—Leicester, Ipswich, and Southampton—striving to stay above water after their return from the Championship. Will they make it this time, or are they on a one-way trip back?
Let’s get straight to it—here’s how you can watch all the excitement this weekend, wherever you might be. Grab your drink (or a pint), and I’ll get you sorted.

How to catch the Premier League in the UK
Alright, if you’re in the UK, you have a few avenues to get your Premier League fix, but blimey, it’s not cheap. Here’s the lowdown:
Sky Sports
Sky Sports has the majority of the matches. If you have deep pockets—or just a serious love for football—you can shell out £43 a month, but that includes Sky TV and dear old *Netflix*. Because who doesn’t need their *Bridgerton* fix too?
Alternatively, you can opt for Sky Glass if you’re keen on a new TV tied to a 48-month contract that feels unbreakable. Prices start at £62 per month, including Netflix and Sky Sports. Sounds pretty reasonable—if you reside in a mansion.
If the above sounds grim (and it is), consider Sky Stream for £46 a month if you already own a TV. It’s cheaper, but you’re still paying for Netflix again. Honestly, I just want to watch a match, not finance streaming Marcus Rashford documentaries…
And let’s not overlook Sky Go—this allows you to watch on your phone or tablet while sneaking off to the loo at work.
Now, if you’re a bit of a penny-pincher like me, go for Now TV. It’s £34.99 a month for all Sky Sports channels, but it’s currently on special for £26 a month… for the first six months. Brilliant. Want 1080p? You’ll need to shell out another £6 for Now Boost (£9 a month if you want 4K). Utter nonsense, but it is what it is.
TNT Sports
TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport, because branding matters) keeps things straightforward. It’s £20 per month for a rolling contract, but you’ll only access it through the discovery+ app. On the upside, you also get Eurosport, so you can catch badminton… whoop-de-doo.
Do you have BT Broadband? Add TNT for £20. If not, you’ll be looking at £30.99 for a monthly pass. Ouch.
Amazon Prime Video
If you’re interested in Prime Video matches, just sign up for Amazon Prime—£8.99 a month or £95 a year. You get your football, and also free next-day delivery on those random purchases you didn’t need. Bonus, right?
How to catch the Premier League in the US
Over in the US, NBC runs the show. Every match is aired live, either on NBC itself, USA Network, or their streaming platform, Peacock.
Peacock
The best deal is Peacock, starting at $7.99 a month or $79.99 a year for the ‘Premium’ plan. Go ad-free with ‘Premium Plus’ for $13.99 a month. Simple.
NBC and USA Network
Want NBC or USA Network but without cable? You have options like YouTube TV ($72.99/month), Sling TV (Sling Blue – $45/month), or Hulu+ Live TV ($76.99/month). None of them are cheap, but hey, you can stream *The Office* while you watch Brentford lose again.
How to watch the Premier League outside the UK and US
Not located in the UK or US? Check who holds the rights to the Premier League in your area (find the list of international broadcasters here). If you’re just traveling and want to use your home subscription, a VPN will be necessary.
We’re demonstrating with NordVPN for this, but choose your own flavor.
Download the necessary VPN app
Visit your VPN’s website and download their app. Almost all options are available on mobile and desktop.
Connect to a US or UK server
After logging into the VPN app, select a UK or US server, depending on where you’re tuned in from. It’s a breeze.
Start streaming as normal
Log into Sky Go, Peacock, or whichever app you use, and you should be good to stream football as if you were back home. Easy peasy.
