If you want to learn how to watch the Premier League in the UK, you have come to the right place. Our complete guide to live streams and TV coverage for the Premier League in 2025-26 covers all the bases.
 

Which Channels Have Premier League TV Rights in the UK?

Under the current rights agreement, two broadcasters hold the Premier League TV rights in the UK – Sky Sports and TNT Sports. Sky Sports broadcasts the majority of matches, with TNT Sports also airing a considerable number.

Best TV Packages to Watch the Premier League in the UK

It’s time to take a closer look at each Premier League broadcaster and what they have to offer. Each provider has different benefits and unique perks, meaning fans should shop around to find the best deal for their wants and needs.
 

TNT Sports
Monthly Subscription Price: £30.99

TNT Sports, formerly known as BT Sport, is owned and operated by Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). The global media and entertainment company rebranded BT Sport before the start of the 2024-25 Premier League season, thrusting TNT Sports into the UK spotlight.

Like Sky Sports, TNT Sports offers multiple subscription packages. However, the cheapest option is to get the discovery+ streaming service 'Premium' plan for £30.99 per month. This gives you access to all TNT Sports channels, meaning you can watch Premier League games on the go via the discovery+ app or web player, and cancel anytime.

Although TNT Sports provides fewer matches than Sky Sports, it makes up for this by being the home of all UEFA competitions in the UK, including the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.
 

Sky Sports 
Monthly Subscription Price: £29.99

Let’s move on to Sky Sports – the dominant force in Premier League broadcasting. Sky is owned by media behemoth Comcast, and is recognised by many as one of the most popular sports providers on the planet.

There are many different Sky Sports packages to choose from, with viewers able to access Premier League matches via Sky Q, Sky Glass, Sky Stream and NOW. At £29.99 per month, a NOW 'Flexible Month Membership' is the cheapest way to access all of Sky’s Premier League games in the UK.

Each match is shown simultaneously on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HD, giving fans various options for every game, enabling them to make the most of whatever hardware they have in their homes.
 

Best Deals, Free Trials and Special Offers to Watch the Premier League in the UK

While Sky Sports and TNT Sports hold the Premier League TV rights in the UK, there are plenty of special offers and trials for fans to take advantage of.

For example, NOW’s 'Flexible Month Membership' is a no-contract, cancel-anytime offer costing £29.99 per month. This gives you access to all 11 Sky Sports channels without the potential complications of a Sky subscription.

Virgin Media also offers unique sports packages and dedicated bundles to suit your needs. Virgin Media customers can add individual sports channels or purchase Sky Sports and TNT Sports packages at both monthly and annual rates.
 

Best Premier League Live Streaming Options in the UK 

Not only are there lots of ways to watch the Premier League on TV in the UK, but there are also loads of live-streaming options. From dedicated apps to exclusive online passes, there is no shortage of live-streaming opportunities.

The Sky Go app enables Sky Sports customers to live stream Premier League matches on their favourite portable devices. Available on Android, iOS, Windows and other compatible devices, Sky Go allows fans to enjoy the action on their mobile, tablet or laptop. Sky Glass is also a great way to live stream in the home.

Meanwhile, TNT Sports’ streaming home in the UK is discovery+. All you need to do is grab a TNT Sports subscription, download the discovery+ app, and enjoy Premier League games on your chosen mobile device.
 

Can You Watch the Premier League Using a VPN? 

If subscribing to Sky Sports or TNT Sports just isn’t for you, the good news is that you can stream Premier League matches with a VPN.

There are plenty of trusted and reputable VPN operators out there, including NordVPN and ExpressVPN. That said, we recommend carrying out your own research before you enter the world of VPNs.

Once you have one, you can sign up for a package with an international broadcaster and sign in to follow their coverage via live streaming using your chosen VPN.
 

Best Platforms to Watch Premier League Highlights in the UK

Match of the Day is undoubtedly the most popular Premier League highlights programme in the UK. The Saturday night BBC show, which has been on the air since 1964, provides highlights of every Premier League match, while Match of the Day 2 wraps up the weekend’s action on Sunday.

Fans can also enjoy Premier League highlights via the Sky Sports Premier League and TNT Sports YouTube channels, while both broadcasters share highlights on various social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.

It is also worth remembering that Premier League clubs post-match highlights and other content on their own YouTube channels, enabling you to keep up to date with all the latest developments from your favourite teams.
