The Ultimate Guide to Watching Every Televised Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League Match in the 2024/25 Season
As the new football season approaches, fans are eager to know the best way to watch their favorite teams in action. With the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League all set to kick off, it’s essential to understand the TV rights and streaming options available. In this article, we’ll break down the costs and provide a comprehensive guide on how to watch every televised match in the 2024/25 season.
The TV Rights Breakdown
The Premier League has been divided into seven separate packages, with three broadcasters – Sky, TNT, and Amazon – signing up to show the games this season. Sky has secured the rights to 128 Premier League matches, including the first weekend pick, which means they can choose the top game of the weekend. TNT will show 52 Premier League matches, including the early 12:30 pm kick-off on a Saturday, while Amazon will broadcast 17 first-pick Champions League matches on Tuesday night.
The Cost of Watching Every Match
To watch every televised match in the 2024/25 season, fans will need to manage three separate streaming subscriptions and make use of monthly passes to access all the games and keep costs down. The cheapest option would be to sign up for a Sky Sports subscription, which is currently offering free Sky Glass smart TVs worth up to £1,200 with subscriptions in a pre-season sale.
The Cheapest Way to Watch Every Game
To get the cheapest way to watch every game, you would need to head to Sky and buy a NowTV pass. The monthly cost comes in at £34.99, and you would need it for 10 months to get to the end of May, at a cost of £349.99. It’s actually cheaper to pay for 12 months at £26 a month, making the total cost £312.
TNT’s Monthly Passes
You will then need to head to TNT, now owned by Discovery+, and pick up monthly passes for the next 10 months until the Champions League final takes place. That costs £30.99 a month for a total price of £309.90. You can sign up here.
Amazon’s Premier League and Champions League Coverage
Amazon is harder to judge, but if you haven’t yet used a free trial of Amazon Prime Video, which will give you access to the Premier League and Champions League games, you should wait until December, when there will be two rounds of Premier League games including the Boxing Day fixtures. You would then have to pay for a month of Prime at £8.99 a time to see the Tuesday night Champions League fixtures when they are announced.
The Premier League Begins
The Premier League begins with Manchester United’s clash with Fulham live on Sky Sports on Friday 16 August.
Conclusion
Watching every televised match in the 2024/25 season will require some planning and budgeting, but with the right subscriptions and passes, it’s possible to enjoy every game without breaking the bank.
