Where can I stream the 2024-25 Premier League season for free without cable? Which service is best?

DirecTV Choice is the best option for watching televised Premier League games in 2025. It offers a 5-day free trial and 90+ channels, including USA Network and local NBC stations. Plus, right now you can get it for $30 off your first month, $59.99 per month, for a limited time. You can watch opening weekend for free, and then decide if it’s worth paying $89.99 for more Premier League coverage, plus other exciting sporting events like the new NFL season and MLB postseason.

While it doesn’t offer a free trial, Sling Orange is a cost-friendly option worth considering, especially if you already plan on sticking around and a free trial isn’t important to you. Sling Orange includes USA Network, which is where most televised Premier League games air, and you get half off your first month of service for just $23. That’s more than a 50% cost reduction over the more premium live services above. You can also add an HDTV antenna to get local channels like NBC, since Sling doesn’t typically carry them.

Multiple streaming services offer the channels on which the English Premier League will air during the 2025-26 season, including but fuboTV ($20 off first month, $84.99 per month) is one of the best ways for fans in the USA to tune in. The EPL will be played throughout the fall and winter of 2025 and winter and summer of 2026, so if you want to watch all year, you’re going to need to pay monthly, but fuboTV includes NBC and USA Network in its base package pricing, and also offers an additional 230+ channels, unlimited screens and unlimited cloud DVR to tempt you to stick around. Plus, fubo carries a huge selection of international football leagues, including La Liga and Serie A.

Hulu + Live TV is another tempting option for EPL fans, because even though it has just a short, three-day free trial, it does include both of the required channels to watch the season, and it throws in the full Hulu, ESPN+ and Disney+ libraries at the subscription price ($82.99 per month). ESPN+ is a great destination for soccer fans, as it is home to hundreds of live NCAA soccer games and international leagues not carried by other services.

Peacock Premium ($10.99/month) is a necessary addition for the most complete Premier League coverage. The service will be home to every non-televised EPL match this season, which typically accounts for around half of the games played on any given matchday. Peacock is packed with other exclusive sports content, including WWE, expanded PGA Tour coverage, horse racing and more. If you want to save on Peacock Premium, we found all the best Peacock deals you can get right now.
