This year, there are more ways than ever to watch premier league football each week online. A number of different platforms are offering this opportunity to customers including some brand new providers.
While not all of your options are cheap, we’re here to help guide you through how you could save more on the best package for you. So let’s look at how you could save watching Premier League football.
Sky Sports
Sky Sports has the most say in how much premier league football you can watch. They are the “home of football”, showing the majority of premier league matches on their platform. Sky Sports also get the first choice from every game to air, meaning that the big games will likely be shown by them.
While this sounds great, there are downsides. Sky Sports as a package is very expensive when compared to other options. On its own, Sky Sports only costs you £18 a month which sounds brilliant. However, you can’t receive it from Sky TV as a standalone package.
Customers also need to add on Sky Entertainment which totals to a sum over £40. Sky’s team will also need to come to your home in order to install a dish and set up your Sky Q box. This means you will also need to pay extra for installation fees.
If you can bite the bullet and want to go for the best service, this option might suit you. If you would like to read our review on Sky as a service provider, please read this article.
NOW TV
By far the cheapest option on this list, NOW TV allows you to stream premier league games on your TV or on mobile devices. When set up, you can watch these matches across multiple devices at once.
NOW Broadband packages are among the most competitively priced in the UK. From just £18 per month you could be averaging download speeds of 11mbps. There are also more expensive fibre options available for those who need more speed from their broadband.
If you simply want a standalone Sky Sports pass, this is also available through NOW TV. This will give you access to all 11 Sky Sports channels and only costs £33.99 a month. This is a much cheaper option when compared with the Sky Sports & Entertainment bundle previously mentioned.
Because NOW TV is a streaming service, you need to be certain that your internet can handle everything. If you need to upgrade, try using our online broadband comparison tool to search for cheap broadband deals.
BT Sport
Much like Sky Sports, BT Sport also has more authority over some of its competitors when choosing which matches to broadcast. While Sky will still have the bigger teams battling it out on their package, BT will broadcast some of the smaller premier league matches. This also comes with FA Cup and Champions League games as a bonus.
BT Sport can be added to your TV deal for just £25 a month if you’re an existing Sky TV customer. However, BT Sport is mainly beneficial for BT Broadband users. You can access it for free by using the app included with BT deals.
Amazon Prime
A new addition to the list of regulars, Amazon Prime Video now offers customers the chance to watch premier league football through their platform. Not every match will be available, but the occasional match might pop up on the app from time to time which might interest you.
We wouldn’t recommend choosing Prime Video purely to watch premier league football. This option is more of an addition to the other benefits of this platform. You can start a free trial when you visit their website, so a smart bargain hunter might time this to fit into their favourite clubs match schedule.
