Here’s how to watch the Premier League without Sky Sports. You don’t have to get into a contract to catch some of the best matches of the season in the UK, and it’s even possible to watch if you’re away on holiday.
As ever in the UK, no Premier League matches are shown for free on terrestrial TV channels like BBC or ITV. You’ ll have to pay something, whether it’s on contract or a pay as you go basis in order to watch the Premier League in your own home.
Many matches each week are played at 3pm UK on Saturday. These 3pm matches are never shown on TV in order to encourage fans to attend the games themselves. This has always been the case, and unfortunately there is no way to watch them unless you live abroad.

You can also pay via Now TV fairly cheaply on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
There is a lot of Premier League football. Some say too much. We say watch it all. For the rest of the weekend’s fixtures just click or tap the link below:
Here’s the official Premier League fixture list for the 2017/2018 season.
There may be some of you who don’ t want to commit to a long-term contract just to see your team get stuffed away to Man City. Fear not, NOW TV is here to save the day. NOW TV has a pay as you go Sky Sports Pass option that lets you pay for either a day, week or month of Sky Sports.
A day pass costs £6.99 and lasts 24 hours from purchase, so you’ ll want to be canny about when you activate it to ensure you see the matches you want.
A week pass cots £10.99 and gets you (unsurprisingly) 7 days, while the month pass costs £33.99 per month and rolls on unless you cancel it.
You can’t use NOW TV to watch BT Sport.
These NOW TV passes give you all 7 Sky Sports channels so you can always watch the golf or the F1 when the football isn’ t on.

You can then watch the action for as long as you’ve paid for on your browser, on the TV app or on the mobile app.

For many years Sky dominated Premier League broadcasts in the UK. It now shares duties with BT Sport, but Sky shows more matches in a season – 126 to be precise, split between the 12: 30pm games on Saturdays and the 1: 30pm and 4pm games on Sundays. Sky also will be showing all the Friday and Monday night matches throughout the season.
If you are new to Sky you can purchase Sky from £22 per month and then an extra £18 for Sky Sports .
If you are an existing Sky customer and want to add Sky Sports to your package it costs from £18 per month .

BT Sport has successfully built a brand and muscled in on Sky Sports turf in the past few years. It has the rights to show 42 live Premier League matches per season. Not as many as Sky, but BT owns exclusive rights to all Champions League and Europa League coverage, so swings and roundabouts.
BT used to show every early Saturday game but this season it is showing the 5: 30pm Saturday matches and 12pm Sunday matches.
If you don’ t currently have BT Sport or use BT Broadband then you can sign up to BT Broadband and get BT Sport for free. Alternatively, you can opt to get BT Sport added to your Sky package for £21.99 per month if you’ re already a Sky customer.

If you want to watch Premier League football from outside the UK then chances are you already have great options – 3pm UK time matches on a Saturday are usually shown abroad unlike in England, so pop down the local!
However, if you’re keen to watch using your existing UK services, then you’ll need to use a VPN (virtual private network) like Nord VPN to ‚browse from the UK‘. Also check out our best VPN services chart, which shows you some of the best services for accessing UK content from abroad.
There is of course good old BBC to serve us up two weekly football dishes for free. The Premier League highlights programme Match of the Day is a national institution and you can watch it on Saturday and Sunday night for free on BBC TV provided you have a TV license.
Match of the Day airs every Saturday at 10: 30pm UK time on BBC One.
