Premier League live stream 2019/20: how to watch every game from anywhere in the world

Good news: football is back! Bad news: we're almost at the first international break already. But before that interlull, two days of fine football await.

We begin with a lunchtime kickabout between Southampton and Manchester United (12:30pm BST/7:30am ET), a fixture last year in which the Saints held a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes (before United hauled it back to 2-2 for a draw). After six (!) 3pm kick-offs there's Burnley vs Liverpool (17:30 BST/12:30pm ET) from Turf Moor; Ashley Barnes vs Virgil van Dijk in a titanic early-season tussle.

There's a couple of corkers on Sunday: headlined by the north London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham (16:30 BST/11:30am ET), which follows Everton vs Wolves earlier in the day (2pm BST/9am ET).

With all this pant-wetting excitement, you need to know that wherever you are, you can watch the game – no matter who you’re supporting, what screen you’re watching on or how many banana daiquiris you’ve had before 10am. If you don’t know what your streaming options are, whether you’re on the sun lounger in the Bahamas or stuck in a faceless hotel room for a night in Albania, then read on.

Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for this round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch Steve Bruce’s extra-red face without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:

1. ExpressVPN (inc. 30-day, money-back guarantee)

FourFourTwo’s tech stablemates TechRadar love its lightning-quick connections, security you can trust, and the fact it works with Android, Apple, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PS4 plus plenty more.

It also comes with that money-back guarantee, has 24/7 support, is currently available for a 49% discount and with three months free to make your away days even more profitable than Crystal Palace’s.

2. Nord VPN (inc. 30-day, money-back guarantee): a cheaper option; its cheapest package current averages at a mere £2.29 per month.

3. IPVanish (inc. seven-day money-back guarantee): slightly more expensive but supports up to 10 devices, and can be paid for every three months if required.

How to watch the Premier League live for UK subscribers

The two big boys for 2019/20 are again Sky Sports and BT Sport for live action in the UK, but this season Amazon have crashed the party. Free-to-air highlights are available via Match of the Day on the BBC.

Sky will still show the majority of the games, 128 of them, while BT will cover 42. Amazon, meanwhile, will broadcast 20 games in December – all 10 fixtures during the December 3-5 gameweek and traditional Boxing Day slot a few weeks later.

Watching a Sky Sports game anywhere you like is easy on your mobile, tablet or PC via Sky Go. You can add every Sky Sports channel for £23 a month, or just the football for £18, or – if you don’t fancy a monthly or yearly buy-in – NOWTV offers daily, weekly, monthly and yearly passes from £8.99 a day.

BT Sport is available is free for new BT broadband and TV customers, £6 a month for existing customers and from £25 a month for current Sky TV customers. Subscribers can use the BT Sport app or BTSport.com to watch on their mobile or PC streaming service.

The Amazon matches will be included in your £7.99 a month Prime package if you already have, but if you don’t, the good news is that you can watch those December games for free if you’ve never previously been a Prime member. Sign up for Amazon’s 30-day free trial at the start of December (and remember to cancel after Boxing Day) and all that festive football is yours gratis. It’s just like 1992 again.

How to watch the Premier League live for US subscribers

In the US, NBC Sports and Telemundo will continue to show live Premier League games (in English or Spanish, depending on your preference). If you shell out for the Premier League Pass, you get all 380 matches live to stream on-demand, plus shows highlights, analysis and on-demand replays for $64.99. That’s more than the poor Brits manage, and you get to watch Chelsea new boy Christian Pulisic every week. If that price is a bit rich for your blood, though, the Matchday Pass shows 140 exclusive live games (a minimum of four per club, no replays available) for $39.99.

Whichever you chose, they’re available on iOS, Android phones and tablets, desktop web browsers, Apple TV (Gen 4), Roku, Amazon Fire TV, AndroidTV and Chromecast devices connected via HDMI.

Who are the favourites for the Premier League?

Defending champions Manchester City are odds-on favourites with every bookmaker to retain their Premier League title for a third year running. Runners-up Liverpool are the shortest odds-against price, with Jurgen Klopp’s side desperate to add to last season’s Champions League triumph.

Beaten finalists in Madrid, Spurs – complete with record signing Tanguy Ndombele – make up the best of the rest, with Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal all likely to make up the top six in some order.

Who are the favourites to be relegated from the Premier League?

Championship runners-up Sheffield United are favourites for an immediate return to the second tier, but manager Chris Wilder’s inventive tactics and burning desire to prove people wrong may surprise many. Fellow new boys Norwich are also odds-on with the bookies to go down.

Despite steadying the ship impressively after last season’s poor Premier League start, Sean Dyche’s Burnley are next favourites. Brighton are a similar price at 2/1, with new manager Graham Potter trying to implement a more progressive playing style, along with Rafa Benitez-less Newcastle and play-off winners Aston Villa.

Who will be the top scorer in the Premier League?

Spurs goal machine Harry Kane is a 4/1 favourite to bag the Premier League’s golden boot for a third time. Behind him, 2017/18 winner Liverpool forward Mo Salah, Sergio Aguero of Manchester City and Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – who each shared the prize with 22 goals last season – are the next most likely to finish top scorer.

Sadio Mané, Jamie Vardy and Alexandre Lacazette are all good outside bets, offering a bit more value for money.
