Chelsea finished the 2023-2024 season in 6th place, a respectable finish but just out of reach of the Europa League group stage nonetheless. They’ll get a fresh start on August 17th, when the 2024-2025 season gets underway. Even if you’re in The States, you can cheer for The Blues with the best of them.
Streaming Chelsea games is easier in the US now that the club is shown on Peacock and NBC channels. If you plan ahead, you can keep up with every game this season.
Premier League teams, including Chelsea, are broadcast on NBC Universal networks in the United States. You can catch some games on NBC and USA, while streaming service Peacock has most of the action. Games are also shown in Spanish on Universo and Telemundo.

DIRECTV STREAM has NBC and USA for Premier League games, plus a ton of other networks of interest to sports fans. Compared to competitors, this platform has the most impressive channel roster for your money. Higher tiers even include premium networks like Max. DIRECTV STREAM also has many regional sports networks (RSNs) like FanDuel Sports Network networks that are hard to find without cable.
Other available sports networks include ESPN, CBS, ABC, CBS Sports Network, Fox Sports 1 (FS1), Fox Sports 2 (FS2), NFL Network, NFL RedZone, and NHL Network. DIRECTV STREAM has unlimited DVR storage.
Hulu + Live TV has a few glaring omissions from its single channel lineup, like NBA TV, but it still has NBC and USA for Premier League fans. Plus, you get a free ESPN Plus subscription with any Hulu + Live TV plan. The provider also has ABC, CBS, ESPN, CBS Sports Network, NFL Network, MLB Network, FS1, NHL Network, Golf Channel, Big Ten Network, SEC Network, and ACC Network.
If the single-channel lineup isn’t enough, there are extras to choose from.

All customers also get the Hulu on-demand library, which includes thousands of titles and Hulu Originals, and unlimited DVR.
Sling TV only has local channels in some markets, so you may or may not be able to get NBC with this provider. You will definitely have USA with Sling Blue and Sling Orange & Blue plans. While this option has fewer channels than competitors, it also has the best pricing. If you’re not a big TV household, this might be the most logical choice.
Other sports channels offered on at least one Sling TV plan include ESPN, FS1, and TNT. The Sling TV Sports Extra has channels like NBA TV, MLB Network, SEC Network, Tennis Channel, NHL Network, ESPNEWS, and ACC Network. Customers automatically get 50 hours of DVR space but can pay for an upgrade to 200 hours.
All Fubo plans offer NBC and USA, plus Fox, ABC, and CBS. This gives you access to Chelsea games, plus everything from WNBA games to NFL playoffs. Like DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo also has FanDuel Sports Network networks available through select plans (Pro and Elite) that serve up a lot of regional team action for basketball, football, and more. If you’re willing to pay for a channel add-on, the Sports Lite Add-on lets you get your eyes on networks like NBA TV, MLB Network and NHL Network.
Fubo started as a soccer-focused platform, and it still has a ton of sports channels to keep fans happy. Even without a paid add-on, Fubo gives you NFL Network, Big Ten Network, FS1, FS2, ACC Network (depending on location) and Golf Channel. Fubo has unlimited Cloud DVR storage.
YouTube TV has just one base plan, but it offers more than 100 channels. Luckily for Premier League fans, these include NBC and USA. Plus, you can use the platform’s Key Plays and Stats views for a unique sports-watching experience. Other networks available include NBA TV, ESPN, FS1, FS2, and the Tennis Channel.
YouTube TV is the only platform with the NFL Sunday Ticket, and you can add extras like NBA League Pass and WNBA League Pass to your package if you want out-of-market games. Like competitors, YouTube TV has a Sports Plus add-on with more sports channels. In this case, the paid extra features NFL RedZone, Fox Soccer Plus, beIN SPORTS, FanDuel TV and Impact Wrestling, along with eight other channels. YouTube TV offers unlimited DVR storage.
