Soccer (ehem, football) fans, mark your calendars because the English Premier League will soon return for its 2024-2025 season. On Friday, August 16, the first match of the official season kicks off between Manchester United and Fulham.
Each soccer team in the Premier League will play 38 games, with 19 played at home and 19 played away. That means there are a whopping 380 games to look forward to this season. We know you don’t want to miss a minute of them. One of the easiest ways to catch the majority of the Premier League games is with a subscription to NBC’s streaming platform Peacock.
Experts are already making predictions about what’s in store for the upcoming Premier League season. Arsenal is heavily favored as the year’s title winner, with Manchester City also making some lists. Arsenal’s team is stacked with talented players including defensive midfielder Declan Rice, right winger Bukayo Saka and center-back William Saliba. However, Manchester City will provide stiff competition with midfielder Phil Foden, defensive midfielder Rodri and striker Erling Haaland.
Since we are only a few days away from the big day, here’s everything you need to know about streaming the upcoming Premier League matches, including start times, the best livestream options and more.
When does the Premier League 2024-2025 season start?
The Premier League season officially kicks off with a game between Manchester United and Fulham on Friday, August 16, 2024. There is a lot of soccer ahead until the season ends on May 19, 2025.
How to watch Premier League games without cable
Premiere League games will be broadcast on a variety of channels including USA, NBC, Universo and Telemundo. Some matches will also stream exclusively on Peacock.
Peacock
Peacock Premium subscriptions cost $7.99 per month or $13.99 per month for Premium Plus. Peacock’s Premium Plus plan comes with everything in the Premium plan, but with no ads, a live stream of your local NBC channel and the ability to download and stream eligible content offline.
Peacock is a must-have streaming service for soccer fans to watch the English Premier League. Out of the 380 games, 175 of them are streaming exclusively on Peacock this season, with NBC match simulcasts also available for select events. The only downside to Peacock is that the games airing on USA and CNBC will be available the following day.
If you want to watch those games live, consider a subscription to FuboTV, Hulu + Live TV or Sling TV.
FuboTV
FuboTV is another great option for watching Premier League games online. The sports-focused live TV streaming service has access to all the channels broadcasting live matches thus far — including NBC, USA, Telemundo and Universo. As of now, these are the only stations scheduled to air matches outside of Peacock, although the entire broadcast schedule has not yet been released.
Fubo costs $79.99 per month, and currently, the platform is offering a seven-day free trial.
Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV will give you access to over 95 channels including NBC, USA and Telemundo for $77 per month. You can also consider the Espanol add-on to get access to NBC Universo for $5 more per month. The other great thing about Hulu + Live TV is that your subscription comes with access to regular Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+ for a ton of extra content.
Sling TV
One affordable way to catch live Premier League matches without cable is on Sling TV. With Sling TV’s Blue package, you’ll have access to more than 50 channels, including NBC and USA. You can also add on Sling Latino for $10 per month to get access to Universo.
Right now, there is a Sling TV deal offering 50% off your first month — bringing the Blue package down from $45 to just $22.50. Sling TV also comes with 50 hours of free cloud-based DVR recording space, perfect for recording all the season’s top matchups if you can’t watch them live.
