The Premier League is back for 2026/27 and the new season could scarcely be dripping in more narrative. And that was before Man City were found guilty of 114 charges of financial impropriety brought by the league itself against them (City deny the charges). It's been a long three-week international break but we're back and the landscape looks very different. FourFourTwo is here with all the broadcast information you need to watch every game live.

The 2026/27 Premier League continues into Matchweek 7 with a Saturday lunchtime kick-off as Everton host Chelsea at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. David Moyes' Toffees are one of only three unbeaten teams left in top flight, while ex-Red Jordan Henderson returns to Merseyside after his two-goal salvo last weekend for Xabi Alonso's ultra-attacking side.

There are three 3pm kick-offs. Liverpool visit Brentford, also unbeaten, hoping Bradley Barcola's Champions League hat-trick against LASK is a sign of things to come for the French forward. Fulham host Hull in what feels like a must-win game for increasingly under-pressure Cottagers boss Alvaro Arbeloa, whose side are bottom of the pile on just two points. Fresh from their 3-0 gubbing of Liverpool last week, Manchester City face surprise package Ipswich at the Etihad trying to make it seven wins from seven.

At 5.30pm on Saturday Newcastle against Aston Villa at St James' Park. A 4-1 reverse at Coventry has brought much soul-searching on Tyneside and the Magpies may cast admiring glances at what might have been as in-form past target Johan Manzambi rocks up. Villa walloped Fenerbahce midweek.

On Sunday, there are three 2pm kick-offs after a busy week's Europa League action. Bournemouth vs Sunderland features 18th vs 17th as continental competition takes its toll on thin squads. Brighton have managed the calendar far better to sit third and will start as favourites against bitter rivals Crystal Palace, who are struggling under Pierre Sage. Leeds vs Manchester United is another chance for Michael Carrick to turn the listing Red Devils ship around, but the midweek defeat by Atletico Madrid and Daniel Farke's direct side make that seem unlikely.

The Sunday after game is Nottingham Forest hosting Arsenal. The Gunners managed to put their first league defeat of the season behind them last week, with a come-from-behind win against Leeds, while Oliver Glasner's Forest will hope for a vast improvement after falling 3-1 at Palace.

Finally, on Monday, Coventry again feature, hoping to back up last week's 4-1 win with another victory, this time against Roberto De Zerbi's struggling Tottenham. Spurs showed hitherto absent grit to bag a point after Rodrigo Bentancur's red card at Old Trafford, but now the North Londoners need a first win of the season to prove they've turned a corner.

In this guide, FourFourTwo break down all the Premier League viewing options globally, with all 380 games available in many countries. We'll have in-depth details on UK, USA, and Australia broadcaster, along with a full list of outlets internationally.

Can you watch the Premier League for free?

Unfortunately, free Premier League 2026/27 streams are scarce but there are a couple of options.

The Premier League will have select games available free-to-air in Brazil via CazéTV's YouTube channel.

On Matchday 7, Leeds vs Man Utd has been selected for CazéTV coverage.

Those in the US can stream USA Network and NBC on YouTube TV, Hulu Live TV and DirecTV.

Abroad for Matchweek 6 of the Premier League 2026/27? You need a VPN to unlock your stream — find out more below.

How to watch the Premier League from abroad

Chances are you'll find yourself overseas when some Premier League 2026/27 games are taking place, but does that mean you have to miss the action? No, it doesn't... a VPN will ensure you get your coverage from anywhere.

Premier League live streams are geo-restricted on all streaming services, but a VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a neat way around this, unpicking the geo-locks by altering your device's digital location. It's great for accessing your usual streaming services while on the move, and it does wonders for your internet security, too.

NordVPN is the best, so say our good friends across the office at TechRadar.

How to watch the Premier League in the UK

In the UK, Premier League TV rights for the 2026/2027 season are shared between two broadcasters: Sky Sports, and TNT Sports. It's the second year of the EPL's latest £6.7bn deal that lasts until 2029. At least 267 of the 380 fixtures to be shown live.

► Sky Sports has broadcast English top flight matches since the Premier League’s inception in 1992, and it continues to air more live action than anyone else. The service will show at least 215 games in 2026/2027 across Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League, Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports+.

► TNT Sports and its streaming platform HBO Max have rights to 52 live Premier League matches in 2026/27, usually Saturday lunchtime kick-offs and a couple of midweek matchdays.

Why aren't all Premier League games live on TV in the UK?

Yep, the Saturday 3pm 'blackout' remains in place, which means that no games that kick off at that time can be broadcast live. This is enshrined in law and is designed to protect match-day attendances further down the football pyramid.

Like last season, though, any Premier League game not taking place at 3pm on a Saturday shown live on TV. Good news for fans of clubs on the Thursday-Sunday timetable of the Europa League/Conference League grind.
