Where to Watch and Stream English Premier League Football in August 2026

Watching the 2026/27 Premier League Season in the UK

The upcoming 2026/27 Premier League season promises plenty of live football action, split mainly between Sky Sports and TNT Sports. To make sure you never miss a match, here is a detailed guide on where to watch every live fixture in the UK, including key broadcast schedules.

Broadcast Rights and Coverage

The current 2025–2029 broadcasting rights divide live matches exclusively between two networks. Around 270 games per season are shown live, except for the traditional Saturday 3pm blackout period. BBC Sport keeps free-to-air rights for weekly highlights through Match of the Day.

• Sky Sports: At least 215 live matches per season
• TNT Sports: 52 live matches per season

Main Broadcast Slots

• Sky Sports: Friday nights, Saturday 5:30pm, Sunday 2pm & 4:30pm, Monday nights
• TNT Sports: Saturday 12:30pm kick-offs and two full midweek rounds

Sky Sports Coverage

Sky Sports dominates with four of five broadcast packages, giving them first choice on weekend fixtures. They offer flagship shows like Super Sunday double-headers, Monday Night Football, and Friday night games. Notably, all ten final-day matches are broadcast live across Sky channels.

TNT Sports Coverage

TNT Sports holds a smaller but focused chunk, mainly covering early Saturday games at 12:30pm and exclusive midweek rounds. This gives fans standalone days filled with Premier League action.

Today's Match Example

• Fulham vs Chelsea: Monday, 24 August 2026, 21:00
• Available on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League, and Virgin Media

Streaming Options

Streaming depends on which broadcaster owns the rights for a specific match.

• Sky Sports: Stream via Sky Go app for subscribers or through contract-free NOW Sports memberships offering daily or monthly passes.
• TNT Sports: Live streams now run on HBO Max, with subscription options through HBO Max directly, Prime Video, or flexible passes via bt.com.

Premier League 3pm Saturday Blackout

The Saturday 3pm live broadcast ban remains in effect, blocking any football matches from being televised between 2:45pm and 5:15pm. Originally aimed at encouraging attendance at lower-league matches, it means these afternoon games won’t appear live on TV or streaming services.

Fans can listen to live commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live or catch highlights after 5:15pm on YouTube or the Sky Sports app.

Amazon Prime Video and the Premier League

Amazon Prime Video no longer holds UK rights to live Premier League matches from the 2025-26 season onward, so their familiar festive fixtures have returned to traditional broadcasters. Sky Sports now carries most Boxing Day and New Year matches, while others are split with TNT Sports.

Amazon remains active in European football, exclusively streaming the top Tuesday UEFA Champions League matches.

Simultaneous Sunday Kick-Offs and New Viewing Features

The 2025-26 season ended the displaced match blackout, allowing every Premier League game outside the Saturday 3pm window to be shown live. On Sundays, several games often start at 2pm simultaneously due to European scheduling.

Sky Sports introduced Multiview, available on Sky Glass, Sky Stream, and the Sky Sports app. It lets viewers watch up to four matches on one screen. For single-match focus, the Red Button and new Sky Sports+ channel provide dedicated commentary and full production for each game.

With a record 215 live matches this season, fans won’t miss their team on busy Sundays.
