How to watch the Premier League live this weekend

We’re over a third of the way through the 2024-25 Premier League, and it’s been an exciting and unpredictable season so far.

New Liverpool manager Arne Slot has made a brilliant start to life at Anfield, with his side seven points clear at the top of the table. Last season’s runners-up Arsenal are a bit off the pace, with Chelsea ahead of the Gunners on goal difference.

Champions Man City are a further two points back after a poor recent run, with the likes of Brighton, Fulham and Nottingham Forest all starting the season well. Spurs and Man Utd both sit in mid-table, with the latter sacking Erik Ten Hag and replacing him with Ruben Amorim.

At the other end of the table, Leicester have sacked manager Steve Cooper and replaced him with Ruud van Nistelrooy, despite being outside the bottom three. Fellow newly promoted sides Ipswich and Southampton are both in the relegation zone, alongside Wolves.

Here’s how to watch the Premier League live this weekend, whether you’re based in the UK, US or elsewhere.

How to watch the Premier League in the UK

In the UK, only 200 of the 380 games 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 of fixtures on Amazon Prime Video.

Sky Sports

You have several options when it comes to Sky Sports.

The first is to get a TV package, which is currently £20 extra per month on top of an existing Sky Entertainment and Netflix plan – the cheapest combined plan is currently £35 per month on a 24-month contract with Sky’s Essential TV package.

If you don’t mind paying a monthly subscription for your TV, Sky Glass is also worth considering. You can currently get a 43-inch TV (48-month contract) with Sky Sports, Sky Entertainment and Netflix (Standard with Ads) on an 18-month contract for £53 per month with £20 upfront.

Alternatively, there’s Sky Stream, a Chromecast-style puck that you plug into the back of your TV. The cheapest plan with Sky Sports costs £39 per month – it also has Sky Entertainment and Netflix’s ad-supported plan included.

If you don’t want to pay for Sky TV, there is an alternative: you can subscribe via Sky’s streaming service, Now (formerly Now TV). That’s available on your phone, tablet, games consoles, via a web browser and also via an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Chromecast, Roku device and others.

It usually costs £34.99 per month for the Sky Sports Pass, but an offer at the time of writing reduces the price to £26 for the first six months.

Now Boost offers 1080p video (instead of 720p), allows simultaneous streaming on up to 2 devices (rather than just one) and removes ads for £6 extra per month. Now Ultra Boost increases this to £9 per month in exchange for 4K and 3 simultaneous devices.

TNT Sports

BT Sport was rebranded as TNT Sports ahead of the 2023-24 season, but not much changed in terms of the plans available.

At full price, the cheapest package costs £20 per month on a monthly rolling contract, though you’re 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 simply add TNT Sports to discovery+. That costs an extra £20 per month for existing BT Broadband customers, but you’ll need to get the monthly pass for £30.99 per month otherwise.

Amazon Prime Video

To access Prime Video’s live games, you’ll simply need to 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 some music and games.

How to watch the Premier League in the US

In the US, NBC has the exclusive English-language rights to the Champions League. All 380 matches are broadcast live, across the main NBC channels, NBC-owned USA Network and its streaming service Peacock.

Peacock has most of the games, and it’s also the most affordable. It starts $7.99 per month/$79.99 per year for ‘Premium’, or $13.99 per month/$139.99 to step up to the ad-free ‘Premium Plus’. You can sign up for both on the Peacock website.

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

The most hassle-free way is to sign up for a live TV streaming service such as YouTube TV ($72.99 per month), Sling TV (requires $45 per month Sling Blue) or Hulu+ Live TV ($82.99 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 trying to watch UK or US TV from abroad, it’s worth checking which broadcaster has the rights to the Premier League where you’re based. See the full list of international broadcasters on the Premier League website.

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