Does Youtube TV have Premier League?

Hi there soccer fan! As an expert in TV and streaming with a passion for the beautiful game, I‘ve put together this guide to help you watch Premier League matches in the US this season.

The Premier League is the holy grail for soccer fans – home to elite clubs like Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal and more. With world-class players, dramatic storylines, and iconic rivalries, it‘s no wonder the Premier League has become a global spectacle.

Luckily, it‘s easier than ever for fans in the US to tune into the action. According to the Premier League, over 24 million Americans watched matches last season. So let‘s dive into the best ways to stream Premier League soccer stateside.

A Quick Primer on Premier League Broadcasting Rights

Before getting into specific viewing options, it helps to understand who has the rights to broadcast Premier League games.

In the US, NBC is the primary Premier League broadcaster, having signed a six-year deal through 2028 worth $2.7 billion (according to the Associated Press). This gives them the rights to air matches on NBC, USA Network, and their streaming platform Peacock.

However, NBC does not have exclusive rights to all 380 Premier League matches per season. Certain games are controlled by other international broadcasters like Sky Sports.

This fragmented rights model means no single provider gives you access to every Premier League game. You‘ll need a mix of services depending on which matches you want to catch.

Now let‘s explore your best options:

Peacock – Home of Premier League Streaming

Hands down, NBC‘s Peacock Premium is the best streaming choice for Premier League fans in the US.

Why? With Peacock Premium, you get:

– **175+ exclusive live Premier League matches** (that‘s nearly half the season!).
– A **24/7 Premier League TV channel** with news, analysis, and match highlights.
– **Full match replays** available on-demand.

According to Peacock, they will stream at least 1,250 Premier League hours this season. All for just $4.99/month – an incredible value.

While Peacock won‘t have every match, it should be the cornerstone of any Premier League streaming setup.

Linear TV – NBC, USA Network, and More

In addition to Peacock, NBC airs matches on their family of linear TV channels:

– **NBC** – Will show around 20 "big" Premier League matches this season.
– **USA Network** – Airs early and late matches on Saturdays.
– **CNBC** – Home to overflows and supplementary coverage.

So if you have access to these via cable or streaming bundles like Sling TV and YouTube TV, you can catch live Premier League action on Saturday mornings and afternoons.

Note that games shown on TV are also available on Peacock. But Peacock has far more than just NBC‘s television coverage.

Catching Up on Replay

If you miss matches live, Premier League replays are readily available on demand:

– Peacock Premium has a **full replay library** of all matches they stream live.
– YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, FuboTV and other streaming bundles let you **record to DVR** and watch later.

So with the right mix of services, you can watch live games or replay the entire match after the fact.

Filling in the Gaps with a VPN

Die-hard Premier League fans don‘t want to miss any of the action. But with matches spread across multiple broadcasters, gaps in coverage are inevitable.

This is where a **VPN (virtual private network)** comes in handy. According to Comparitech, 62% of VPN users rely on them for accessing region-restricted content.

By connecting to a UK-based server with a VPN, you can access matches only available in Britain. Top options for Premier League VPN streaming include:

– **ExpressVPN** – renowned for reliable speeds and connections.
– **NordVPN** – large server network ideal for UK streaming.
– **Surfshark** – budget-friendly choice with unlimited devices.

A quality VPN lets you work around licensing limitations and opens up more Premier League options.

BeIN Sports – 130+ Games with Select Providers

Here‘s one more option I need to mention – beIN Sports currently holds rights to 130+ Premier League matches in the US.

beIN Sports is available for additional fees on these TV providers:

– fuboTV ($7/month add-on)
– Sling TV ($10/month add-on)
– DirecTV Stream ($15/month add-on)
– Verizon Fios (channel 591)

If you want every Premier League game and have access to beIN through your provider, their coverage can supplement Peacock, NBC, and a VPN nicely.

Putting It All Together

As you can see, following the Premier League as a US fan requires some workarounds and multiple services. But with the right strategy, you can unlock access to all 380 games:

– **Sign up for Peacock Premium** to live stream 175+ matches.

– **Use a streaming bundle** like YouTube TV or Sling TV for NBC/USA coverage.

– **DVR matches** on your streaming platform if you can‘t watch live.

– **Get a VPN** like ExpressVPN to fill any gaps and work around blackouts.

– **Add beIN Sports** through your TV provider for 130+ additional matches.

While fragmented, Premier League coverage options in the US continue to expand each year. Hopefully someday fans will be able to watch every match from one provider. But until then, you have plenty of ways to follow your favorite club.

I hope this guide gives you the tools to enjoy Premier League soccer as much as possible this season. Let me know if you have any other questions!
