The 2024-25 Premier League season has been filled with many surprises, and the winner may be decided as early as this weekend.
All Liverpool need to do is draw with Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield to secure the title – it would be the second time they’ve won the League if they do so.
Chasing them are Arsenal, but at 13 points behind, the maximum they can now get is 79. If Liverpool draws or wins, they’ll have a total of 80 and therefore will be unreachable.
Liverpool are unbeaten against Spurs at home, having won 11 matches and drawn four. If Spurs do manage to cause an upset, then Liverpool will have to wait until next weekend or later to try and secure a win.
Here’s how to watch all the action – Liverpool or otherwise – live.

How to watch the Premier League in the UK
In the UK, only 200 of the 380 games are shown live. Sky Sports has the majority of these, but there are also some on TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) and two full rounds of fixtures on Amazon Prime Video.
Sky Sports
You have several options when it comes to Sky Sports.
The first is to get a TV package, which is currently £20 extra per month on top of an existing Sky Entertainment and Netflix plan – the cheapest combined plan is currently £35 per month on a 24-month contract with Sky’s Essential TV package.
If you don’t mind paying a monthly subscription for your TV, Sky Glass is also worth considering. You can currently get a 43-inch TV (48-month contract) with Sky Sports, Sky Entertainment and Netflix (Standard with Ads) on an 18-month contract for £53 per month with £20 upfront.
Alternatively, there’s Sky Stream, a Chromecast-style puck that you plug into the back of your TV. The cheapest plan with Sky Sports costs £39 per month – it also has Sky Entertainment and Netflix’s ad-supported plan included.
If you don’t want to pay for Sky TV, there is an alternative: you can subscribe via Sky’s streaming service, Now (formerly Now TV). That’s available on your phone, tablet, games consoles, via a web browser and also via an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Chromecast, Roku device and others.
It usually costs £34.99 per month for the Sky Sports Pass, but an offer at the time of writing reduces the price to £26 for the first six months.
Now Boost offers 1080p video (instead of 720p), allows simultaneous streaming on up to 2 devices (rather than just one) and removes ads for £6 extra per month. Now Ultra Boost increases this to £9 per month in exchange for 4K and 3 simultaneous devices.
TNT Sports
BT Sport was rebranded as TNT Sports ahead of the 2023-24 season, but not much changed in terms of the plans available.
At full price, the cheapest package costs £20 per month on a monthly rolling contract, though you’re limited to the discovery+ app. However it also includes Eurosport 1 & 2 and the discovery+ Premium streaming service.
But if you’d rather stream all the action and don’t want a recordable TV box, it makes more sense to simply add TNT Sports to discovery+. That costs an extra £20 per month for existing BT Broadband customers, but you’ll need to get the monthly pass for £30.99 per month otherwise.
Amazon Prime Video
To access Prime Video’s live games, you’ll simply need to be subscribed to Amazon Prime in some capacity.
After a 30-day free trial, it costs £8.99 per month or £95 per year. But there are plenty of other benefits, including free next-day delivery on many items, unlimited photo storage and access to some music and games.
How to watch the Premier League in the US
In the US, NBC has the exclusive English-language rights to the Premier League. All 380 matches are broadcast live, across the main NBC channels, NBC-owned USA Network and its streaming service Peacock.
Peacock has most of the games, and it’s also the most affordable. It starts $7.99 per month/$79.99 per year for ‘Premium’, or $13.99 per month/$139.99 to step up to the ad-free ‘Premium Plus’. You can sign up for both on the Peacock website.
For NBC itself and USA Network, things are a little more complicated if you don’t want to pay for cable.
The most hassle-free way is to sign up for a live TV streaming service such as YouTube TV ($72.99 per month), Sling TV (requires $45 per month Sling Blue) or Hulu+ Live TV ($82.99 per month). None of these are cheap, but they offer plenty of other benefits.
How to watch the Premier League outside the UK and US
Before trying to watch UK or US TV from abroad, it’s worth checking which broadcaster has the rights to the Premier League where you’re based. See the full list of international broadcasters on the Premier League website.
But if you’re just visiting another country, it makes sense to access your UK or US subscription, which requires a VPN. We’re using NordVPN for the purposes of this tutorial, but other options include Surfshark, or the alternatives listed in our best VPN chart.
Download the relevant VPN app

Connect to US or UK server

Open the app and sign in to your account if necessary. Then, select any US or UK server and connect to it.
Depending on the service you’re using, it might look quite different to the above. But this should be relatively easy to find.
Start watching as usual

Head to the website or app you’d usually use to start watching. You should now be able to stream content as normal and without any restrictions.
