How to watch the Premier League from anywhere
Geo-restrictions getting in the way of streaming your Premier League viewing experience? A solution is at hand: a VPN.
Full name Virtual Private Network, this piece of internet security software uses remote servers that alter your device’s digital location, which means you can access your usual streaming services from anywhere in the world.
It’s a great tool for watching football on the move, and for getting full value out of the subscriptions you pay for, even while abroad. What’s more, a VPN will work wonders for your general online safety, and has been known to improve playback speeds.
We share an office with the tech experts at TechRadar and Tom’s Guide, and they both rate NordVPN as the best VPN on the market right now.
Where to watch the Premier League in the UK
In the UK, Premier League TV rights for the 2025/2026 season are shared between two broadcasters: Sky Sports, and TNT Sports. Amazon Prime has lost the rights it previously held. In a deal worth £6.7bn to the Premier League over the next few years, more games than ever will be broadcast, with at least 267 of the 380 fixtures to be shown live.
► Sky Sports has broadcast English top flight matches since the Premier League’s inception in 1992, and it continues to air more live action than anyone else. The service will show at least 215 games over the course of the 2025/2026 season.
► TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) and its streaming platform Discovery+ have rights to 52 live Premier League matches in 2025/2026, including Saturday lunchtime kick-offs.
Why aren’t all Premier League games live on TV in the UK?
Although more Premier League games than ever are being shown live in the UK this season, the Saturday 3pm ‘blackout’ remains in place, which means that no games that kick off at that time can be broadcast live. This is enshrined in law and is designed to protect match-day attendances. For the first time, the 2025/2026 season will see all Premier League games not taking place at 3pm on a Saturday shown live on TV.
Watch Premier League live streams in the US
NBC Universal holds the Premier League broadcast rights in the US, splitting the coverage across various channels and platforms: NBC, USA Network, and Peacock.
► NBC is the flagship cable TV channel, which hosts only the marquee fixtures.
► Peacock is NBC’s streaming platform which not only hosts a live stream of the NBC games but also exclusively shows a number of other games each week – roughly half of Premier League games.
► USA Network is another cable TV channel that houses roughly the other half of the fixtures.
How to watch the Premier League in Australia
Aussie soccer fans have it easy, and pretty cheap. Every single Premier League game is available to stream live on Stan Sport.
This marks a change from previous years, when Optus Sport held the rights, which have now been acquired by Nine Network amid the closure of Optus. Stan is a streaming service operated by Nine.
There is a small price rise but it’s still great value – you get every Premier League game, plus the Champions League, FA Cup, and more, all for $32 a month.
