For domestic fans based in England and other parts of the UK, it can be tough to follow their beloved Premier League teams. Due to the "3pm Blackout" (Article 48 of the UEFA Statute), not every EPL game is allowed to be aired on TV in the UK. What's more, the cost involved often leaves a lot of fans out in the cold.Nonetheless, if you are looking to watch as many Premier League games as possible, here's how you can. You will need access to Sky Sports and BT Sport, who together hold the lion's share of the rights. A subscription to NOW can make this a little easier and more cost effective. Also, you will need to subscribe to Amazon Prime Video to watch the matches which they exclusively offer via live streaming, usually around Christmas time.La LigaTo get access to every match of the Spanish La Liga season, British fans will need La Liga TV. The league's own dedicated live streaming platform provides coverage of every fixture, as well as highlights, news and other programming. You can get La Liga TV via Premier Sports, recently aquired by Viaplay, or Amazon Prime Video as an add-on. It's a monthly subscription model which you can access via either of those two services.Embed from Getty ImagesElsewhere, free-to-air broadcaster ITV struck a deal this year to show 10 La Liga matches per season for the next three years, meaning fans who don't have access to those platforms can still enjoy some big La Liga games totally free. Check the ITV listings to see when they are next showing a La Liga game on their network.Serie AThe main broadcaster of the Serie A in the UK is BT Sport. A subscription to BT Sport will bring you tonnes of live action from the Italian top flight. However, there is also a free option for fans of Italian football without a huge budget. The One Football app is making one match per gameweek available totally free. Check out the One Football website to find out which Serie A game they are showing next.BundesligaFans of the German Bundesliga will need a subscription to Sky Sports to follow their favourite teams from the UK. The traditional pay-TV broadcaster holds the exclusive rights to the league, and typically shows several matches per gameweek. There are unfortunately no free options or other services available for watching the German top flight in Britain.Embed from Getty ImagesLigue 1It's a similar story for the French Ligue 1.
