"What channel is the Premier League on today?" is one of the most searched football questions in the — and the answer is rarely simple. Premier League rights are split between multiple broadcasters, and which channel airs which game changes week to week. This guide explains exactly how it works.
Premier League Channel Guide 2026
Sky Sports Premier League
Sky Sports holds the largest share of Premier League broadcast rights. The dedicated Sky Sports Premier League channel airs the majority of live fixtures throughout the season. Additional overflow games appear on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports 4K UHD.
Key Sky Sports Premier League slots: Saturday 12:30 PM, Saturday 5:30 PM, Sunday 2:00 PM, Sunday 4:30 PM, Monday 8:00 PM, and occasional Friday evening fixtures.
TNT Sports
TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) holds a secondary package of Premier League rights. They typically broadcast two live Premier League matches per week, often including high-profile Saturday afternoon fixtures that Sky does not hold.
TNT Sports Premier League games are on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports 2, with some in 4K on TNT Sports Ultimate.
Amazon Prime Video
Amazon Prime has a small number of Premier League fixtures — typically two complete rounds of matches per season (one in December, one in May). When Amazon shows Premier League, they broadcast all matches simultaneously, meaning every fixture in that round is live on Prime.
BBC (Match of the Day — Highlights Only)
The BBC does not broadcast live Premier League matches. Match of the Day on BBC One (Saturday, ~10:30 PM) and Match of the Day 2 (Sunday, ~10:30 PM) carry highlights of all Saturday and Sunday matches respectively.
