Who shows the Premier League

Sky Sports shows the most Premier League games, so most fans need it. From the 2025/26 season, Sky Sports shows up to 215 live Premier League matches a season. TNT Sports shows 52.

If you want most games, pick a deal that includes Sky Sports. TNT Sports is a separate sports service, and it shows far fewer games. Sky Sports is sold as an add-on to Sky TV, so check that option in each deal.

Look for Sky Sports in the table below. Our tables rank deals by real cost, cheapest first. Each table shows the date its prices were last checked.

The cheapest ways in

The cheapest route depends on how you pay: a monthly pass, a contract or a bundle. NOW is Sky's flexible streaming brand, and it offers a Sports membership. A Sky TV contract lets you add Sports as an add-on. BT offers TV Sport and TV Sport Plus packages, and Virgin Media offers a Sport bundle.

Our table shows today's prices and the date each one was last checked. Sort by real cost to see the cheapest deal first. Real cost includes every price rise the provider has stated. Not sure between Sky and NOW? See Sky TV vs NOW.

Only pay for the channel that shows the matches you want. Check which channel shows your team's games before you choose a package.

Compare options by real cost in our table. It includes every stated price rise and any setup fee, so the lowest headline price isn't always the cheapest deal. Check the minimum term too: NOW Entertainment Saver has a 6-month minimum.
