Where to Watch the Premier League 2026-27, by Country
The Premier League is not sold as one worldwide package. Each country has its own
broadcaster, its own set of kick-off slots and, in some places, its own rules about what
may not be shown at all. So the useful answer is never "it is on Sky" — it is "it is on
whichever broadcaster bought it where you are".
The 2026-27 season begins on 21 August 2026.

If your country is not in that table, we have not checked it — that is not the same as
saying the Premier League is unavailable there. It almost certainly has a broadcaster; we
simply have not confirmed which one, and would rather leave a gap than fill it with a
guess. You can check what we hold for your country directly.
Which slot goes to which channel in the UK
The UK is the one market where the rights are split three ways, which is why "is it on
Sky or TNT this week?" is such a common question there. The split follows the kick-off
slot rather than the teams.
Sky Sports — 128 matches
Friday nights, Saturday 5:30pm, Sunday 2:00pm and 4:30pm, and selected Monday nights.
TNT Sports — 52 matches
Saturday 12:30pm, plus selected midweek rounds.
Amazon Prime Video — 20 matches
Two full midweek and bank-holiday rounds in December.
That accounts for 200 of the 380 fixtures in a season.
The 180 matches nobody may show live
The remaining fixtures are the Saturday 3pm kick-offs, and no UK broadcaster may show them
live — not Sky, not TNT, not a streaming service, not a foreign channel legally sold into
the UK. It is a scheduling rule rather than a rights gap, and it exists to protect
attendance at lower-league grounds on a Saturday afternoon.
This catches people out constantly, because the match is being played, it is on television
in other countries, and it is still not available at home. We wrote up
how the blackout rule actually works, including
which other countries use it.
Highlights are a different matter. Match of the Day on BBC One and BBC iPlayer carries
highlights of every Saturday fixture, including the 3pm games no broadcaster may show live.
Why the kick-off time you see may not be the one you expect
Premier League fixtures are published in UK local time, which is BST for most of the
season and GMT from late October. Countries change their clocks on different dates, so for
a few weeks each spring and autumn the usual offset from the UK is an hour out.
