How to Watch Premier League Online, On TV & Abroad

As the most watched domestic league in the world, a lot of eyes are always on the Premier League. That’s especially true right now, with an exciting title race, top 4 battle and final relegation still to be decided.

Man City are the favorites to retain their crown, although just one win will guarantee them the top spot. With a goal difference of less than 6 goals, Liverpool are practically forced to win and hope Man City drops the score.

A win or draw against relegated Norwich would guarantee Tottenham a Champions League spot against rivals Arsenal. Man Utd will want to fight West Ham and secure a Europa League spot for next season.

At the bottom, Everton finally secured their place with a comeback win over Crystal Palace, but Burnley and Leeds go into the final day on points. However, the much worse goal difference means that Leeds need a better result against Burnley.

With all 10 matches taking place at the same time, it looks like it will be an intense afternoon. Here’s how to watch important matches live, even when you’re outside:

Which Premier League matches are shown on TV this weekend?

The last day of the Premier League is always an exciting occasion. Here are the matches available to watch live, along with the UK start times and associated channel:

Sunday May 22

Brentford vs Leeds – KO 4pm – Sky Sports Football – Leeds must be better than Burnley’s result (at home to Newcastle) to stay in the Premier League. Man City vs Aston Villa – 4pm KO – Sky Sports/Ultra HD Main Event – Man City must play against Liverpool results to secure title

How to watch the Premier League on Sky Sports

You probably already know, but Sky Sports is the main place to watch the Premier League.

Sky has a channel dedicated to the tournament, and you’ll also find some games like the Main Event and Showcase. During the season, the broadcaster is showing a total of 128 matches live.

Plans start from £46 per month for 18 months, or from £25 extra per month if you already have a Sky TV subscription. This will also provide access while out and about via Sky Go.

However, if you subscribe to Sky Q with the Sky Sports plan, you can also watch in HDR quality. Learn more in our separate guide: How to get HDR on Sky Q

How to watch the Premier League right now

If you don’t want to commit to a Sky contract and satellite dish on your house, that’s not a problem. Sky has the Now streaming service as an alternative.

Available now on a wide range of devices including smartphones and game consoles and now offers HD quality if you purchase the Now Boost option.

The day pass offers 24 hours of access and costs £11.98 – which is great for one-off occasions. However, it makes a lot more sense to get a Month Pass if you plan to watch every weekend. It’s currently available at £20 per month for three months, before going back to its usual rate of £33.99 per month after that.

The offer also includes a free month of Now Boost, which adds 1080p 50fps video, removes ads, and lets you stream on three devices at once (instead of the usual). You will then have to pay an extra £5 per month.

How to watch the Premier League on Amazon Prime Video

Over the past few years, Amazon has gradually increased the number of sports shown on its Prime Video streaming service. While tennis remains the main sport, there are 20 Premier League matches available this season.

Once there (check the schedule above), you can watch through a web browser or use the Prime Video app on multiple devices to tune in.

If you’re already an Amazon Prime member, you get access to Prime Video included with your subscription. Otherwise, it’s a choice between £7.99 a month or £79 per year – the latter being slightly cheaper.

New customers can also take advantage of a 30-day free trial. Sign up via the Amazon website, although you’ll need a VPN to access with an account outside of the UK.

Can I watch the Premier League for free?

Not directly, as long as you live in the UK. The BBC has had four and then eight live matches in the last two seasons affected by the pandemic, but that is no longer the case with fans returning to stadia for 2021-22.

It means you’ll have to be content with the highlights, but there’s plenty of places to catch up on the game. Apparently Match of the Day, the BBC’s standout show. It is usually broadcast on both Saturday and Sunday nights, as well as midweek when it is full of matches. It is available directly on BBC One or via BBC iPlayer, although you will need a TV license.

However, if you don’t want to follow expert or manager interviews, Sky Sports uploads highlights from every game (including those they don’t show) to its Football YouTube channel. .

Clips are also regularly posted on Twitter, especially to
@btsportfootball and
@SkySportsPL.

How to watch the Premier League outside the UK

Before attempting to watch UK TV from abroad, you should check which broadcaster has the rights to the English Premier League where you are based. For example, it’s NBC in the US, Optus Sport in Australia, and Canal+ in France.

However, if you are just visiting another country, it makes sense to visit your UK registry.

Until the end of 2020, it should be fairly easy for UK audiences to watch TV while outside the UK while traveling to another EEA member country. Providers had to allow customers to view content by law, but Brexit means that’s no longer the case.

You will now need to use a VPN (virtual private network) to set your location in the UK to unlock the content. The same goes for US viewers who want to watch the Premier League in addition to what’s shown on US networks.
