Premier League 2026/27 on UK TV: Channels & Costs
⚡ Quick Answer
267 of 380 Premier League games are televised in the UK this season. Who shows what, what Sky Sports and TNT Sports cost, and the cheaper way to watch.
The short answer
In 2026/27, Sky Sports and TNT Sports share the UK's live Premier League rights. Sky shows 215 matches and TNT Sports the rest of the 267 televised fixtures. Watching all of them on both services costs around £730 for the season (Football365). The 113 remaining fixtures, mostly Saturday 3PM kick-offs, are not shown live on UK television.
Who shows the Premier League in 2026/27?

What does it cost to watch every televised game?
Sky Sports at £34.99 plus TNT Sports at £30.99 is £65.98 a month. Over a ten-month season that is roughly £660–£730 depending on contracts and day passes — before broadband, a Sky box or any film channels.
Why is there a Saturday 3PM blackout?
UK broadcasters are not allowed to show live football between 2.45pm and 5.15pm on Saturdays, to protect attendance at lower-league grounds. We explain the rule and what it means for viewers in Saturday 3PM kick-offs in the UK.
The cheaper way: one IPTV subscription
A UK IPTV subscription carries the Sky Sports and TNT Sports channels alongside BBC, ITV and the rest of UK TV, in one app on your Firestick, Smart TV or phone. Streamelio plans cost from £10 for a month or £3.75 a month on a 12-month plan — see IPTV UK prices or the full IPTV UK sports line-up.
Checklist for match day
- Use a wired connection or 5 GHz Wi-Fi; aim for 25 Mbps for 4K.
- Open the stream 10 minutes before kick-off so the player caches the guide.
- Test the service during a live match first — the free 6-hour trial is designed for exactly that.
