Trying to watch every Premier League match isn’t as simple as picking a channel. Depending on where you are, access can range from an easy task to a frustrating experience. In this article, we’ll try to make a practical guide to help you watch every game without getting lost in subscriptions or blackout rules.
Watching in the UK
If you’re based in the UK, you’re limited to around 200 live matches per season due to the 3pm blackout rule. That means a big chunk of games are unavailable to watch live, no matter which service you use.
Sky Sports remains the go-to option. It airs the most matches each season, including Sunday and Monday fixtures. You can access it through Sky, Virgin Media, or NOW TV.
TNT Sports covers early Saturday games and some midweek slots. It’s available through Discovery+ Premium, or in bundles via EE or Virgin. For a comparison between the two, check this guide on TNT & Sky Sports.
Amazon Prime Video shows two full matchdays each season. All ten games from those rounds are streamed live, usually during December. It’s a short window, but worth keeping in mind if your team’s involved.
BBC Sport doesn’t offer live matches, but “Match of the Day” and “Match of the Day 2” still pull in millions. If you miss a match, it’s a solid way to catch up.
Watching Outside the UK
Fans in the US, Canada, and Australia have it easier. In these regions, you can watch every match live without restrictions.
United States
NBC holds the rights. Games are split between NBC, USA Network, CNBC, and Peacock. Peacock Premium covers many matches and costs $7.99/month.
Canada
FuboTV owns the exclusive rights. One subscription gives you full access to every Premier League fixture, plus bonus features like match replays and analysis.
Australia
All matches are streamed through Optus Sport, available for AUD $24.99/month.
New Zealand
Sky Sport holds the rights, and matches can be streamed via Sky Go or Sky Sport Now.
If you’re already subscribed in your home country but traveling abroad, geo-blocks might block your access. Still, many platforms allow you to use your account while away, especially within the EU or US territories.
Watching via Kodi (Legally)
Some users turn to Kodi, a free media platform. It supports add-ons that collect streams from official broadcasters worldwide. These add-ons don’t show you games illegally—they just point you to publicly available, legal streams already provided by rights holders.
Here’s a list of popular sports Kodi add-ons that are widely used and regularly updated.
Better Picture and Sound
If you’re streaming matches often, a solid setup makes a difference. Devices like Apple TV 4K or Fire Stick reduce buffering and improve picture quality. Some services also support immersive formats like Dolby Atmos or DTS:X—learn more about Dolby Atmos vs. DTS:X here.
Main Takeaways
If you’re in a country with full broadcasting rights, like the US or Canada, it’s easy to follow every Premier League match with a single subscription. In the UK, it takes a mix of services—and even then, some games won’t be available live. No matter where you are, knowing your options is the key to staying connected all season.
