The season is underway

The 2026/27 Premier League runs August to May. If the World Cup left a hole in your summer, this fills it, but US viewers need to watch the clock on kickoff times.

A week late, thanks to the World Cup

Play started August 21, 2026 and ends May 30, 2027. That's 38 weeks: 33 weekends plus five midweek Match Rounds.

Saturday's seven matches

September 12 stacked five games at 10 a.m. ET, including Liverpool vs. Fulham and Chelsea vs. Hull City. Spurs vs. Everton followed at 12:30, then Sunderland vs. Arsenal at 3 p.m.

Sunday brings the derby

Coventry City vs. Brighton kicks off at 9 a.m. ET, then Manchester United vs. Manchester City at 11:30 a.m. ET. Monday closes the round with Leeds vs. Newcastle at 10 a.m.

NBC holds the US rights

Every match runs through Peacock, USA Network, or NBC. Spanish-language coverage sits with Telemundo and Universo, so the channel you need decides the plan you buy.

Peacock is the cheap door

Peacock Premium costs $10.99 a month and carries the matches NBC puts on its platform. Nothing else on the list comes close on price.

YouTube TV's sports tier

The standard plan is $83 a month, but the $65 Sports package now includes USA Network, NBC Sports, and Telemundo. Universo needs the $14.99 Spanish Plus add-on.

Sling and Fubo undercut cable

Sling Blue runs $46 a month with USA Network. Fubo Latino is $20 and carries both Telemundo and Universo, the cheapest route to Spanish commentary.

The $90 tier trap

DirecTV's Entertainment package and Hulu + Live TV both land at $90 a month. On Hulu, Telemundo is another $11.99 on top, which PCMag calls out as excessive.

Free trials, timed right

DirecTV, Fubo, and YouTube TV all offer free trials that reach NBC. They last a few days, so start the clock the week of the match you actually care about.

A VPN widens the map

International feeds like Sky Sports, Stan, and Canal+ are geo-locked. A streaming-friendly VPN lets you subscribe and watch from abroad, and can unlock TNT Sports on HBO Max in the UK.

Brazil is the free channel

CazéTV streams select matches free on YouTube. Connect a VPN to a Brazilian server and the game is yours at no cost, which is the closest thing to a genuine free livestream.

Who's in this year

Twenty clubs, with Coventry City, Ipswich Town, and Hull City promoted. Coventry returns after 25 years away. West Ham, Burnley, and Wolves went down; Arsenal defends the title.
