Where can I watch the Premier League?
Sky Sports and TNT Sports have exclusive access to live matches, with free highlights available from the BBC’s iconic Match of the Day, as well as via Sky Sports' and TNT Sports' YouTube channels.
What Premier League games does Sky show?
Sky has rights to show at least 215 live matches during 25/26 season. It shows matches on Friday nights on the rare occasions they are played, as well as the 5.30pm kick off on a Saturday and then two matches on a Sunday, usually at 2pm and 4.30pm. Sky Sports has promised it will air at least four games a week, as well as showing all 10 matches from the final weekend live.
It also hosts Monday Night Football, which includes weekly analysis as well as a live match which starts at 8pm. It also screens some midweek matches throughout the season, depending on whether there are two gameweeks within the space of a few days.
As with all live Premier League football, matches held at 3pm on a Saturday are not aired, as these kick offs fall under a ‘blackout’ rule which prevents domestic TV audiences from watching, the idea being that the Premier League wants to ensure fans go to grounds at this time.
What Premier League games does TNT Sports show?
TNT Sports plays second fiddle to Sky when it comes to the number of Premier League fixtures shown. In 25/26 it’s set to broadcast 52 matches in total, the same as last season.
The bulk of these are in the 12.30 slot on a Saturday. They also show selected midweek matches, as well as ‘bumper midweeks’ where subscribers to TNT Sports and the Discovery+ app can watch all 10 games played between Tuesday and Thursday.
What Premier League games does Amazon Prime show?
Prime no longer shows Premier League matches.
How much does a Sky Sports package cost?
If you’re an existing Sky customer, you can get Sky Sports’ 12 channels, including Premier League matches for £22 a month on a 24 month contract.
Alternatively, you can bundle Sky Sports as part of a broadband and TV package. If you choose Sky, you can get fibre broadband and Sky Sports, as well as other Sky channels, for £59.99 a month, as well as pay as you go landline calls. Sky can be accessed via its Sky Stream set top box. This does not include TNT Sports.

How much does a TNT Sports package cost?
TNT Sports packages vary in price depending on who your existing TV provider is.

You can also take out a Discovery+ subscription, costing £30.99 a month and stream TNT Sports, including Premier League games, on your streaming device.

Is it cheaper to buy a sports TV and broadband bundle?
In short, if you want all Premier League matches without any hassle, you are generally far better off bundling your TV and broadband.
This way you’ll get better deals, especially if you go with Sky, EE or Virgin Media, and won’t have to deal with taking out multiple subscriptions to different channels so you can keep up with your team and ensure your FPL side remains close to the top of the league.

How else can I watch the Premier League?
If you don’t want to take out a sports TV package, your best bet is to try a NOW Sports add-on. This costs £34.99 a month and can be cancelled anytime, letting you watch every Sky Sports Premier League match.
You can also take out day passes for £14.99 if you only want to catch the occasional game.
Note: NOW package prices correct as of January 2025
Where can I watch Premier League highlights for free?

Both are then available for the next week on BBC iPlayer. Just remember you need a TV licence to watch.
You’ll find shorter highlights free on the Sky Sports app and website too. These are available shortly after matches finish.
