How to watch the English Premier League 2024

Peacock is an indispensable streaming service for soccer fans keen on the English Premier League. In addition to simulcasting games on NBC, it provides exclusive streaming for almost half of the 380 games played in the Premier League. Access to these live games requires a subscription to Peacock’s premium plans, which begin at $5.99 a month. In addition to the Premier League all season long, subscribers have unlimited access to a huge library of films and TV series.

Watch on DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV STREAM's base plan is an Entertainment package that will cost you $79.99 per month for 75 channels, including NBC and USA Network. These are two of the key channels for English Premier League coverage. If you prefer following the Spanish-language broadcast, Universo and Telemundo are available with upgrades to higher-tiered plans or as paid add-ons. The upgraded Choice, Ultimate, or Premier packages fall within the $99.99 to $154.99 per month price range.

But the live TV streaming service will appeal to more than just soccer fans. Depending on your plan, you will gain access to a mix of sports networks like ESPN, Big Ten Network, CBS Sports Network, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, MLB Network, NBA TV, NHL Network, SEC Network and the Tennis Channel. NBA fans can purchase an NBA League Pass for out-of-market games.

A Sports Pack featuring The Outdoor Channel, NFL RedZone, SEC Network, Sportsman Channel and others is yet another option for extra coverage. One undeniable advantage of a DIRECTV STREAM subscription is the inclusion of Regional Sports Networks (RSNs), which allow fans to follow their local team hassle-free.  Unlike other streamers, DIRECTV STREAM doesn't charge a regional sports fee. 

The unlimited DVR storage will be handy if you need to miss a game. 

Watch on Fubo

Fubo made its name as the 'Netflix of Soccer,' so it should come as no surprise that its packages are ideal for fans of the beautiful game. The Pro plan includes local channels ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC, the latter of which broadcasts EPL matches. This base plan adds even more value with USA Network, Universo and Telemundo. So footy fans can get the best of the Premier League without an upgrade.

The Pro plan also accommodates other sports fandoms with a slate of channels that include ESPN, ESPN2, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2, NFL Network, Golf Channel, beIN SPORTS, the Big Ten Network and CBS Sports Network. If you want to upgrade,  the Elite and Premier plans elevate the offerings with the addition of NBA TV, MLB Network, NHL Network, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, the Pac-12 Network, Pac-12 Mountain, and Zona Futbol. 

As generous as these plans already are, there is still the option to tack on add-ons like Sports Plus with NFL RedZone add-on includes ESPNU, ESPNEWS, Fight Network, MLB Network, MLB Strike Zone, NHL Network, Tennis Channel, Zona Futbol, Sports Grid, WPT, Impact!, Racing America and Next Level Sports Entertainment. The Sports Lite add-on is a compact eight-channel selection featuring the ACC Network, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, MLB Network, NBA TV, NHL Network, SEC Network and Tennis Channel.

Besides the EPL, football fans can access other leagues with the international football add-on that includes Fubo Latino Network, FOX Deportes, Zona Futbol, ESPN HD Deportes, GOLTV (English and Spanish), TyC Sports, Fubo Sports Network 2 and Fox Soccer Plus.

Fubo doesn't go the unlimited route of other services; instead, it offers 1,000 hours of cloud DVR storage. But the advantage is that these recordings never expire. Additionally, FuboTV includes RSNs in its plans, though a regional sports fee of $11 to $14 may apply depending on the number of RSNs in your area.

Watch on Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV draws lots of praise for its on-demand library of original programming and solid channel lineup, but don't sleep on the platform's sports selection. You can enjoy the EPL with NBC, USA and Telemundo. The roster also includes the entire ESPN collection of networks along with the NFL Network, MLB Network, NHL Network, CBS Sports Network, ACC Network, Golf Channel and Big Ten Network. 

Subscribers to the Hulu + Live TV bundle also gain content from ESPN Plus, like the award-winning "30 for 30" library and combat sports coverage. You can pair your plan with the Sports Add-on featuring NFL RedZone, FanDuel TV, FanDuel Racing, MAVTV, Outdoor Channel and the Sportsman Channel.

Hulu ensures you don't miss live events with unlimited DVR at no extra cost and the ability to stream on mobile devices. However, the limit of two simultaneous streams might pose a challenge for households with multiple viewers.

The Hulu Live TV Only plan starts at $75.99 per month for over 90 channels. You can also choose between the ad-supported and ad-free Hulu + Live TV bundles with Disney Plus and ESPN Plus, priced at $76.99 and $89.99 monthly.

Watch on Sling TV

Sling TV is a favorite because of its affordability, but it does have some limitations, especially in the sports department. For EPL coverage on the USA Network, you must subscribe to the Blue plan or the combined Orange & Blue. NBC is also part of these plans but is limited to select markets. Unfortunately, Telemundo and Universo aren't part of the packages. 

The Blue plan also adds FS1, NFL Network and TNT. The Orange & Blue plan is the best option for essential sports channels like ESPN. But generally, supplementing your plan with a sports add-on is a good investment. A Sling Blue sports add-on brings in Big Ten Network, beIN SPORTS, Fox Sports 2 (FS2), Golf Channel, MLB Network, MLB Network Strike Zone, NBA TV, NFL RedZone, NHL Network and the Tennis Channel.

Sling TV's 50-hour DVR storage is significantly less than the unlimited storage offered by competitors like Hulu and YouTube TV. But with plans starting at $40 per month, it's worth strong consideration.

Watch on YouTube TV

YouTube TV is another comprehensive option for soccer fans, with NBC, USA Network, Universo and Telemundo all represented. So, choosing a live TV streaming service will all come down to YouTube TV's other offerings. The 100-plus channel base plan includes ESPN, NBC, CBS Sports Network, Fox Sports 1, Golf Channel, ABC, NFL Network, Big Ten Network (BTN), ESPNU, CBS, SEC Network, TUDN, ESPN2, FOX, ACC Network (ACCN), NBA TV, ESPNEWS, FS2 and more. But the crown jewel of YouTube TV's treasure chest is the NFL Sunday Ticket, providing fans access to out-of-market NFL games. The Sports Plus add-on offers over 13 additional networks, including NFL RedZone from NFL Network, for an extra $10.99 per month.

YouTube TV also sets itself apart with its innovative mobile app features, like linking fantasy football accounts for up-to-the-minute updates during NFL games.

With three simultaneous streams, YouTube TV edges out some competitors like Hulu, which offers two. Each subscription accommodates a maximum of six personalized accounts with tailored recommendations and unlimited DVR storage.
