Football enthusiasts across the UK face the same dilemma every season: how to watch Premier League football without breaking the bank.
With broadcasting rights scattered across various networks, finding the most cost-effective solution can be as challenging as predicting the league’s winner.
This article explores the cheapest ways to catch all the action live, whether you’re rooting for Manchester United or Manchester City.
The Battle of Broadcasters
At the heart of Premier League broadcasting in the UK are Sky Sports and TNT Sports, with Amazon Prime occasionally streaming key matches.
This distribution means fans often need to subscribe to multiple services to follow their favourite teams throughout the season.
The cost of these subscriptions, including broadband and Amazon Prime, generally ranges between £80-£90 a month.
Finding Value in Virgin Media
As of the latest comparison by USwitch, Virgin Media’s “Bigger bundle + Sports” presents the most wallet-friendly option for football fanatics.
This package slightly undercuts BT’s offering, marking Virgin as the go-to provider for those looking to economise their sports viewing experience.
The shift of BT Sport to Discovery, now branded as TNT Sports, has also diluted BT’s direct purchasing advantages, further complicating the landscape for consumers.
Flexible Streaming Options
For those not tied to Sky or BT for their broadband needs, streaming services offer a viable alternative.
NOW Sports, for instance, provides access to all 11 Sky Sports channels for £34.99 a month.
Additionally, TNT Sports channels are available for monthly subscriptions at £18, making them a competitive option for dedicated sports enthusiasts.
