    Live Premier League rights in 2026-27 are split between several broadcasters in both the UK and the US, so no single subscription covers every match in either country.[6][4] This guide sets out who shows what and what it costs.

    How this guide works: ContentLora does no hands-on testing of streaming services. We compare official broadcaster announcements and published prices with independent guides, and cite each figure. Prices change often and vary by contract and promotion. Check the provider before you buy. We have no affiliate relationships and earn nothing if you subscribe.

    Sky Sports shows the most matches: at least 215 in 2026-27, including Saturday 5.30pm, Sunday 2pm and 4.30pm, and Monday and Friday evening games.[1] TNT Sports shows at least 52, mostly Saturday 12.30pm kick-offs, and streams them through HBO Max.[2] Games that kick off at 3pm on a Saturday are not shown live.[3]

    Which option fits

    • UK viewers who want the most matches: Sky Sports carries far more games than TNT Sports, but neither shows Saturday 3pm kick-offs.[1][2][3]
    • UK viewers who want no long contract: HBO Max lists a rolling monthly TNT Sports plan.[8]
    • US viewers on a budget: Peacock alone covers about half of each week’s games; USA Network, the cable home, needs a separate live-TV subscription.[5][11]
    • US viewers who want every game: you need both Peacock and a service that carries USA Network and NBC.[10][11]
