Watching the 2026/27 Premier League Season Live in the UK
Don't miss any action from the 2026/27 Premier League season. This guide covers every live game scheduled for broadcast in the UK, including full fixture details for Sky Sports and TNT Sports.
Broadcasting Rights and Coverage
For the current 2025–2029 cycle, Sky Sports and TNT Sports hold exclusive live rights to Premier League matches in the UK. Around 270 games are shown live each season outside the Saturday 3pm blackout period. BBC Sport still offers free-to-air weekly highlights through Match of the Day.
- Sky Sports: At least 215 live matches, including Friday nights, Saturday 5:30pm, Sunday 2pm & 4:30pm, and Monday nights.
- TNT Sports: 52 live games per season, mainly Saturday 12:30pm kick-offs and two full midweek rounds.
Premier League on Sky Sports
Sky Sports remains the main destination for Premier League fans, holding four out of five broadcast packages. They have first pick on weekend matches, delivering Super Sunday double-headers, Monday Night Football, and Friday night games. A new feature this season is that all 10 final-day fixtures are live across Sky's network.
Premier League on TNT Sports
TNT Sports covers a focused selection of matches, anchoring the early Saturday 12:30pm kickoff slot and providing exclusive coverage of two midweek match rounds annually.

How to Stream Premier League Games Online
Streaming depends on which broadcaster holds the rights for the game:
- Sky Sports matches stream via the Sky Go app for subscribers or can be accessed contract-free with NOW Sports Day or Month passes.
- TNT Sports streaming has moved to HBO Max since early 2026. Fans can subscribe directly through HBO Max, Prime Video, or buy flexible passes on bt.com.
The Saturday 3pm Blackout Explained
Fans searching for a live stream of the traditional Saturday 3pm kick-offs often come up empty due to the 3pm blackout rule. Matches between 2:45pm and 5:15pm cannot be broadcast live to encourage attendance at lower-league games. Alternatives include live radio commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live or waiting for highlights on YouTube and the Sky Sports app after 5:15pm.
Amazon Prime Video and Premier League Rights
Amazon Prime Video no longer holds live Premier League rights in the UK as of the 2025-26 season, so festive fixtures have returned to Sky Sports and TNT Sports. Amazon remains active in European football, streaming the top Tuesday UEFA Champions League match.
New Simultaneous Sunday Kick-Offs and Viewing Options
The 2025-26 season ended the displaced match blackout, allowing all matches outside the Saturday 3pm window to be broadcast live. On Super Sundays, multiple games often start simultaneously at 2pm. Sky Sports introduced options like Sky Sports Multiview on Sky Glass, Sky Stream, and the app, letting fans watch up to four matches on one screen.
The Red Button and Sky Sports+ channel offer dedicated coverage with separate commentary teams for each game. With 215 live matches on Sky this season, missing your team on TV during busy Sundays is unlikely.
