The first match of the 2022/23 English Premier League (Crystal Palace vs. Arsenal) will take place at 20:00 BST (12:00 PST / 15:00 EST) on August 5. Matches are held every weekend and occasionally throughout the week as well, however, with 380 matches in total, some fixtures will happen simultaneously, which is why it’s so important to decide which games you’re interested in watching well in advance. There’s no need to worry, though: below, we’ll let you know how to live stream every English Premier League game live (even if you’re currently abroad).

You should note that we’ll only be recommending official broadcasters to watch the Premier League without cable. Due to this league’s popularity, it’s likely unlicensed streams will be available but we don’t recommend using them. The video is often laggy and low-resolution, plus third-party streams can be taken offline at any moment for copyright violation, meaning you might not even get to see who wins. There are legitimate EPL broadcasters in over 50 countries, though, so there’s no need to use shady, unlicensed streams.

How to watch the English Premier League abroad with a VPN

New to VPNs and not sure how to get started? Just follow the steps below to unblock and stream the English Premier League from anywhere.

Here’s how to watch the English Premier League (EPL) live online from abroad:

  • First of all, sign up for a suitable VPN. We recommend NordVPN but Surfshark and ExpressVPN are two high-quality alternatives.
  • Download and install the VPN app, taking care to get the right version for your device.
  • Connect a VPN server in the the country the streaming service is based in. You’d use a British server to unblock Sky Go, for instance, or a US server to watch on NBC Sports.
  • Try playing a video on your chosen service. In most cases, it should load immediately. If it doesn’t, try clearing your browser’s cookies and cache, then reloading the page.
  • That’s it, you can now watch your usual home streaming services from abroad.

EPL matches will be broadcast live around the world, so it’s important to make sure your VPN works before kickoff time. This leaves you plenty of time to get help from your VPN’s customer support team if anything doesn’t work as expected.

How to stream the English Premier League live online

The EPL might only feature English soccer teams but it has fans (and broadcasters) all over the world. Below, we’ll let you know which networks are showing the EPL in your country:

USA

There are two EPL broadcasters in the US: NBC Sports for English-language coverage and Telemundo for Spanish-speaking audiences. If your cable TV subscription includes either of these networks, you can sign in to the respective website and watch every EPL match at no added cost. If not, don’t panic: there are plenty of ways to stream the EPL online without cable.

The easiest way is to sign up for an over-top streaming service like Hulu with Live TV,  fuboTV, or YouTube TV. These cost around $64.99 USD per month and allow you to watch both NBC Sports and Telemundo live online. As a bonus, each of these services includes a free trial, so you can try them out and see which is right for you.

Some matches are exclusively available on Peacock. However, you’ll need a paid subscription in order to watch. These cost $4.99 per month, which isn’t bad considering this service usually offers more than 100 matches per season.

All of the services above are region-locked meaning you’ll have to be in the US or using an American VPN server to use them. NordVPN offers a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee to make this as easy as possible.

UK

Ironically, British fans get to watch fewer EPL matches than people in other countries, thanks to the country’s refusal to broadcast games between 2:45 PM and 5:15 PM on Saturdays. As such, only around 200 fixtures will be available to watch online in the UK.

Most English Premier League fixtures will be broadcast by either Sky Sports or BT Sports. If you already subscribe to one of these networks, you can log into the appropriate website and start watching immediately at no added cost. If not, things become slightly more complicated.

BT Sports has an online-only pass (£25 per month) but this is pretty expensive, given that it’s only showing around 50 matches. Conversely, Sky Sports will show 120+ matches and allows you to watch without cable by purchasing a Now TV pass (£33.99 per month).

Australia

Optus Sports has exclusive broadcasting rights to the English Premier League’s 2022/23 season. It’s worth mentioning, however, that EPL matches will air late at night in Australia, usually between midnight and 05:00 AEST.

If you have an existing TV, phone, or broadband contract with Optus, Optus Sports might already be included, meaning you can watch the EPL online for free. If it isn’t, or if you’re with a different cable provider, you can sign up for $24.99 AUD per month.

Optus Sports is region-locked so if you’re outside of Australia, you’ll need a VPN in order to watch.

Canada

Once again, the rights to the English Premier League have changed hands. Now, fans can stream every match of the 2022/23 season live on fuboTV. Notably, the cheapest plan includes sport streaming, so you can follow all of the action for just $24.99 CAD per month.

fuboTV is only showing Premier League games in Canada. However, you can use a Canadian VPN server to continue watching if you decide to travel abroad.

Other locations

Don’t panic if you didn’t see your country listed above; it’s just that the EPL will be shown in too many countries to cover them all individually. Luckily, Wikipedia has an up-to-date list of English Premier League international broadcasters, so you should be able to find a suitable local source without too much trouble. This list also lets you know which language each broadcaster uses, meaning you won’t waste your time and try to watch a stream that you can’t understand.

EPL 2022/23 full schedule
