How to watch Premier League 2026-27 — TV guide, channels, fixture list for gameweek 8

The 2026-27 Premier League season has arrived, and it is Arsenal who start the campaign as the team to beat after winning their first league title in 22 years. The Gunners were deserving champions but will face a tough challenge to retain their crown from the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea (all of which have new managers at the helm).

Meanwhile, the trio of newcomers face a huge battle to avoid dropping straight back down to the EFL Championship. Coventry were electrifying last season under Frank Lampard and may be the best placed to avoid relegation, but it could be a long season for supporters of Ipswich and Hull.

No matter who you support, you’ll want to know how you can watch all of the EPL action this season. And you’re in the right place as we’re here to show you how you can watch live streams of every single Premier League game. And don't worry if you're abroad right now — because you can watch it all from anywhere with a VPN.
