More ways to watch the Premier League

Fubo and Hulu + Live TV offer Premier League fans the chance to watch for free by taking advantage of the streamers’ free trials, but there are other terrific ways to catch the 2024-5 Premier League season without cable.

Watch Premier League soccer on Peacock

If you want to watch every Premier League game of the 2024-5 season, you’ll need a subscription to Peacock. The NBC/Universal-owned streamer will live stream every Premier League game airing on NBC and USA Network, as well as broadcast select Peacock-exclusive Premier League games this season.

The streaming service has plenty more live sports to offer, including Big Ten football and basketball, golf and WWE wrestling (including formerly PPV-only events such as WrestleMania). There are 80,000 hours worth of recorded content to watch as well, including hit movies and TV series such as “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation.”

Stream Premier League soccer live on Sling TV for half price

One of the most cost-effective ways to stream live network-aired Premier League soccer matches this year is through a subscription to Sling TV. The streamer also offers access to USA Network, NFL Network, local NBC, Fox and ABC affiliates (where available) and ESPN with its Orange + Blue Tier plan. Also worth noting: Sling TV comes with 50 hours of cloud-based DVR recording space included, perfect for recording all next season’s top NFL matchups.

That plan normally costs $60 per month, but the streamer is currently offering a 50% off promotion for your first month, so you’ll pay just $30. The streamer has a new prepaid offering for football season called Sling TV Season Pass. You can get four months of the Orange + Blue tier, plus the Sports Extra add-on, for $219. That’s a savings of $81 over the usual price.

Note: Because Sling TV doesn’t carry CBS, you won’t be able to watch CBS-aired programming like next year’s NFL games on CBS. To watch these games, plus PGA golf, UEFA Champions League and more live sports, we recommend you add the Paramount+ add-on to your bundle.

Top features of Sling TV Orange + Blue tier:

  • There are 46 channels to watch in total, including local NBC affiliates (where available). 
  • Sling TV also offers the live feed of Premier League matches airing live on NBC and the USA Network.
  • You also get access to most local NFL games and nationally broadcast games at the lowest price.
  • All subscription tiers include 50 hours of cloud-based DVR storage.

Watch network-aired Premier League games with a digital antenna

You can also watch network-aired Premier League games on TV with an affordable indoor antenna, which pulls in local over-the-air HDTV channels such as CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, PBS, Univision and more. Here’s the kicker: There’s no monthly charge.

For anyone living in a partially blocked-off area (those near mountains or first-floor apartments), a digital TV antenna may not pick up a good signal — or any signal at all. But for many homes, a digital TV antenna provides a seriously inexpensive way to watch sports without paying a cable company. Indoor TV antennas can also provide some much-needed TV backup if a storm knocks out your cable.

This ultra-thin, multi-directional Mohu Leaf amplified digital antenna with a 60-mile range can receive hundreds of HD TV channels and can filter out cellular and FM signals. It delivers a high-quality picture in 1080p HDTV, top-tier sound and features a 12-foot digital coax cable.
