The 2024-25 Premier League season officially begins on Friday, August 16, and runs until May 25 next year. With 380 matches in all, some fixtures will happen simultaneously, so it’s worth deciding which games you’re interested in watching well in advance. There’s no need to worry, though: below, we’ll let you know how to livestream every English Premier League game (even if you’re abroad).
You should note that we’ll only recommend official broadcasters watch the Premier League without cable. Due to this league’s popularity, it’s likely unlicensed streams will be available, but we don’t recommend using them. The video is often laggy and low-resolution, plus third-party streams can be taken offline at any moment for copyright violation, meaning you might not even get to see who wins. There are legitimate EPL broadcasters in over 50 countries, though, so there’s no need to use shady, unlicensed streams.
EPL matches will only be shown on region-locked streaming services. As a result, you’ll need a VPN service to watch on your home services while traveling abroad.
How to watch the English Premier League abroad with a VPN
New to VPNs and not sure how to get started? Follow the steps below to unblock and stream the English Premier League anywhere.
Here’s how to watch the English Premier League (EPL) live online from abroad:
- First, sign up for a suitable VPN service. We recommend NordVPN, but Surfshark and ExpressVPN are two high-quality alternatives.
- Download and install the VPN app, taking care to get the right version for your device.
- Connect a VPN server in the country the streaming service is based in. For instance, you’d use a British server to unblock Sky Go or a US server to watch on NBC Sports.
- Try playing a video on your chosen service. In most cases, it should load immediately. If it doesn’t, try clearing your browser’s cookies and cache, then reloading the page.
- That’s it, you can now watch your usual sports streaming services from abroad.
EPL matches will be broadcast live worldwide, so it’s important to ensure your VPN works before kickoff time. If anything doesn’t work as expected, this leaves you plenty of time to get help from your VPN’s customer support team.

How to stream the English Premier League live online
The EPL might only feature English soccer teams, but it has fans (and broadcasters) from all over the world. Below, we’ll let you know which networks are showing the EPL in your country:
USA
The EPL broadcaster in the US is NBC Sports. If your cable TV subscription includes this network, you can sign in to its website and watch every EPL match at no added cost. If not, don’t panic: there are plenty of ways to stream the EPL online without cable.
The easiest way is to sign up for Peacock TV. Subscriptions start at $7.99 USD per month, though premium plans ($13.99 monthly) are required if you’d like to watch without ads. Note that you can currently get 12 months for the price of 10 with the annual plan.
Alternatively, you can stream EPL fixtures on Fubo ($79.99/month), YouTube TV ($72.99/month), or Hulu with Live TV ($76.99/month). Both Fubo and YouTube TV include free trials. Furthermore, YouTube TV is currently running a promotion where you pay just $64.99 a month for your first four months.
All of the services above are region-locked meaning you’ll have to be in the US or using an American VPN server to use them. NordVPN offers a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee to make this as easy as possible.
UK
Ironically, British fans get to watch fewer EPL matches than people in other countries, thanks to the country’s refusal to broadcast games between 2:45 PM and 5:15 PM on Saturdays. As such, only 200 or so fixtures will be available to watch online in the UK.
Most English Premier League fixtures will be broadcast by either Sky Sports, TNT Sports, or Amazon Prime Video. If you already subscribe to one of these networks, you can log into the appropriate website and start watching immediately at no added cost. If not, things become slightly more complicated.
TNT Sports has an online-only pass (£30.99 per month) but this is pretty expensive, given that it’s only showing 52 matches. Conversely, Sky Sports will show approximately 128 matches and allows you to watch without cable by purchasing a Now TV pass for £34.99 per month.
EPL fans will be able to watch matches live on Amazon Prime Video. However, this platform costs £8.99 per month and will only be showing 20 games.
Note that Sky Sports, TNT Sports, Now TV, and Amazon Prime Video UK are only available in the UK. Existing subscribers can use these services as normal when abroad by connecting to a British VPN server.
Australia
Optus Sports has exclusive broadcasting rights to the English Premier League’s 2024/25 season. It’s worth mentioning, however, that EPL matches will air late at night in Australia, usually between midnight and 05:00 AEST.
If you have an existing TV, phone, or broadband contract with Optus, Optus Sports might already be included, meaning you can watch the EPL online for free. If it isn’t, or if you’re with a different cable provider, you can sign up for $24.99 AUD per month.
Optus Sports is region-locked so if you’re outside of Australia, you’ll need a VPN and Australian IP address in order to watch.
Canada
Soccer fans in Canada can stream every Premier League match of the 2024/25 season live on FuboTV. Notably, the cheapest plan includes sport streaming, so you can follow all of the action for just $29.99 CAD per month.
Fubo is only showing Premier League games in Canada. However, you can use a Canadian VPN server to continue watching if you decide to travel abroad.
Other locations
Don’t panic if you didn’t see your country listed above; it’s just that the EPL will be shown in too many countries to cover them all individually. Here’s an up-to-date list of English Premier League international broadcasters, so you can quickly and easily find a suitable local source for watching EPL soccer matches wherever you are.
EPL 2024/25 full schedule
