How To Watch the Premier League Live: Online, on TV & Abroad

Following an exciting summer of sports, the new Premier League season is now in full swing.

Defending champions Manchester City are aiming for an impressive fourth consecutive title and their seventh triumph in the last eight seasons. However, Arsenal, who came close last season, are expected to give them a tough challenge. Additionally, the revamped Liverpool under Arne Slot and Chelsea under new manager Enzo Maresca cannot be discounted.

Elsewhere, Tottenham and Manchester United will be looking to build on their promising performances from last season. Can Aston Villa maintain their domestic form while balancing Champions League responsibilities?

At the other end of the table, how will the three newly promoted teams – Leicester, Ipswich, and Southampton – fare in the top flight? They will be hoping to avoid a repeat of last season when all the promoted teams were immediately relegated back to the Championship.

The fifth round of the 2024-25 Premier League season is set to take place this weekend, featuring several exciting matchups. Here’s how you can watch the action, whether you’re in the UK, US, or elsewhere.
