It feels like just yesterday that the 2019/20 Premier League season was wrapping up, but we're already approaching the halfway mark of the 2020/21 season. We've got all of the details on how to live stream Premier League games online this season no matter where you are in the world.
After an unusual end to last season following a pandemic-enforced break in play, Liverpool managed to hold their nerve in order to lift their first English top-flight trophy in 30 years. Arsenal then went on to beat Chelsea in the FA Cup final to end the domestic season in England on August 1.
Bournemouth, Watford, and Norwich City were relegated last term and were replaced by Fulham, Leeds United, and West Bromwich Albion for this season.
Like La Liga, the 2020/21 Premier League season kicked off on September 12, around five weeks later than usual. That's both due to the previous season not being played to completion until July as well as Europa League and Champions League football having been postponed until August.
That means Premier League sides had a much more truncated pre-season period with just a matter of weeks between competitive fixtures having wrapped up and the new wave of games beginning, especially those involved in European competitions.
Read on for full details on how to get a live stream of the 2020/21 Premier League season online with our guide below.
Watch the Premier League online from outside your country
We have details of all the US, UK, Australian, and Canadian broadcasters of the Premier League further down in this guide. If you're looking to watch the action, but find yourself away from home then you'll run into problems when trying to stream your domestic coverage online from abroad as it's likely to be geo-blocked.
That's where a VPN (Virtual Private Network) can be a lifesaver. They allow you to virtually change the ISP of your laptop, tablet, or mobile to one that's back in your home country, letting you watch as if you were back there.
VPN's are incredibly easy to use and have the added benefit of giving you a further layer of security when surfing the web. There are lots of options, and we recommend ExpressVPN as our #1 pick due to its speed, security, and ease of use. It can be used on a vast array of operating systems and devices (e.g. iOS, Android, Smart TVs, Fire TV Stick, Roku, games consoles, etc). Sign up for ExpressVPN now now and enjoy a 49% discount and 3 months FREE with an annual subscription. Or give it a try with its 30-day money-back guarantee. Looking for other options? Here are some alternatives that are on sale right now.
How to stream 2020/21 Premier League matches live in the UK
As it stands, no fans will be allowed to attend Premier League fixtures for the foreseeable future as England continues to battle with the coronavirus pandemic. That doesn't mean you have to miss out on the action, though, with games being broadcast each week.
The majority of the matches will be split between the league's three major broadcast partners in the UK: Sky, BT, and Amazon Prime. Unlike the end of last season, games are not being made free-to-air so you'll need to be a subscriber to one or all of those services to catch games live.
If you don't have Sky Sports and BT Sport channels as part of your TV package, you can subscribe to Now TV offers Day and Month Passes for Sky Sports and BT Sport offers a Monthly Pass for £25 that will allow you to stream the action from its channels via the BT Sport app. An Amazon Prime subscription gets you access to Prime Video for its games.
