How to watch the Premier League online: Four live games available to stream this weekend

Our guide to watching Premier League action live in the UK and abroad

This weekend will play host to four live games in the Premier League, including Newcastle vs Manchester United and Manchester City vs Tottenham.

The first game of the weekend on Saturday 2 December takes us to the City Ground as Nottingham Forest take on strugglers Everton. Forest come into the game following a disappointing 3-2 defeat to Brighton, while Everton, who currently sit in the bottom three, will be looking for their first win since being slapped with a 10-point deduction for breaching FFP regulations. Kick-off gets underway at 5.30pm on Sky Sports Main Event.

That afternoon, Manchester United travel to St. James’ Park for their clash against Newcastle. United could make it four wins on the bounce with a victory, but it won’t be easy against a Newcastle side high in confidence following their 4-1 thumping over Chelsea. A win for the Magpies would see them leapfrog the Red Devils into the top 6. The action gets underway at 8pm on TNT Sports 1.

Sunday 3 December provides us with two more live games. West Ham host Crystal Palace at 2pm on Sky Sports Main Event, and title contenders Manchester City welcome an out-of-form Tottenham side at 4.30pm on the same channel.

Sky Sports and TNT Sports are the two main broadcasters of live Premier League football in the UK during the 2023/24 season, with Amazon showing two rounds of matches live on its Prime Video service in December.

Details about the various ways to access their channels can be found below. You’ll also find information about the platforms that show Premier League games abroad and the best VPNs to access content anywhere in the world.

How to watch the Premier League: Which broadcasters will show games in the UK?

The Premier League’s broadcasting deals with Sky Sports, TNT Sports (the new name for BT Sport) and Amazon Prime Video will continue until the end of the 2024/25 season meaning you’ll need to subscribe to all three services if you want to watch as much live football as possible.

If you have to pick one broadcaster, Sky Sports remains your best bet as it has the rights to the largest number of games, with TNT Sports continuing to show the early kick-offs on Saturdays.

Details of how to subscribe to each service and the various packages available are provided below. If you live abroad, you can stream games live on NBC Sports in the US, DAZN in Canada and Optus Sport in Australia. All of the aforementioned services can be accessed while abroad using a good VPN service, like ExpressVPN.


How to watch the Premier League on TV in the UK: Sky Sports

If you’re subscribed to Sky, then you’ll need to add Sky Sports to your existing package. It will currently cost you £25/mth for a contract running 18 months. If you already have a Sky subscription, then you’re also automatically the owner of a Sky Go account, giving you access to Sky Sports, Sky Movies and other top channels such as Sky One and Sky Atlantic, along with Sky’s excellent catch-up and on-demand service.

There is a catch, however. Sky Go limits you to three devices, and you can only watch one of these at any one time. If you subscribe to Sky Go Extra, however, you can register up to four devices. This costs £5 extra on top of your Sky Go subscription. You can add and remove one device each calendar month, so if you’re likely to be following the action on multiple devices, make sure you’ve planned in advance which ones you’re likely to be using at any given time.

Upgrade to Sky Sports


Sky Sports: Supported devices

Watching Sky Go on your Windows PC or laptop will require an app download. To run the app, your computer needs an Intel Core i3 or equivalent AMD processor along with Windows 7, 8.1 or 10. For Mac users, the Sky Go app requires at least OS X 10.9, whereas for mobile and tablet users Sky Go is supported on iOS 8.1 and above, Android OS Ice Cream Sandwich 4.1 and above, and all Amazon Fire tablets running Fire OS 3.3 and above. The service also currently supports Xbox 360, Xbox One and PlayStation 3, 4 and 5.

How to watch the Premier League online in the UK: Now Sports Membership

Sky Sports is your best bet if you want to catch as much live action as possible. However, if you don’t have Sky and want to avoid setup fees and a long-term contract, the best way to watch live streams of the Premier League, EFL Cup and EFL Championship is to get a Now Sports Membership (formerly Now TV Sky Sports Pass).

You have two options when subscribing to the Now Sports Membership:

  • Now Sports Day Membership for £11.98
  • Now Sports Month Membership for £34.99

Both these memberships give you access to all 11 Sky Sports channels, which means that you can watch Formula One, golf, and even American sports like the NBA and NFL in addition to the Premier League. You can log in to Now on up to six devices at the same time. It works on all devices including PCs, mobile phones, tablets, smart TVs and even games consoles. You can stream content on any two devices simultaneously.

How to watch the Premier League on TV in the UK: TNT Sports

TNT Sports replaced BT Sport on 18 July 2023 and includes four core channels (TNT Sports 1, TNT Sports 2, TNT Sports 3, TNT Sports 4) along with six red-button digital channels (TNT Sports 5 to 10) and TNT Sports Ultimate, which supports 4K resolution and HDR.

The rebranded platform is part of the Discovery+ network, which is included with BT TV. If you’re an existing BT TV subscriber or have a BT Sport Monthly Pass, you can activate your Discovery+ subscription here. You can also access TNT Sports via the old BT Sport app, though this will be phased out at some point during the season.

New customers can check out the various BT TV packages available here, with fibre broadband and access to the TNT Sports channels currently priced at £47/mth for 24 months plus an upfront fee of £30. Sky TV owners, meanwhile, can add TNT Sports to their Sky package for £25/mth on a 24-month deal.

The simplest way to access TNT Sports, however, is by subscribing to Discovery+ Premium, which doesn’t require you to sign up for a long-term contract and costs £29.99/mth.

How to watch Premier League online wherever you are: Use a good VPN service

If you’re away from the country and want to follow the Premier League action live as if you were browsing from your couch, then your only way to do this is by using a virtual private network, or VPN. These cross-platform services fool your devices into thinking that you’re browsing from your home country even if you’re away. It’s worth noting that the further you are away from your home country, the slower your streaming speeds will be.

There are many VPN services, but the one we rate most highly for streaming is ExpressVPN. It’s fast and has previously been audited to prove that it doesn’t log or store any user data. You can install it on your PC, Mac, Android and iOS devices and use it on five devices at the same time, which is ideal for a family or a group of friends. Apart from that, it has a wide range of servers in different countries, consistently fast speeds and offers a 30-day moneyback guarantee so you can try it out risk-free.

Get ExpressVPN now


Another recent favourite is Surfshark VPN. Unlike ExpressVPN and NordVPN, Surfshark doesn’t have any restrictions on the number of devices you can use it on. If you ever encounter a problem or need general help, you can contact its 24/7 customer support, who will promptly help you out. Despite being one of the newer VPNs on the block, it has an impressive set of features that will only get better in time. Best of all, its three-year plan is the cheapest we’ve seen.
