How to Watch the Premier League Without Sky TV in 2026 — UK Guide

You can watch all 380 Premier League matches in 2026 without a Sky TV subscription. The cheapest option for comprehensive coverage is an IPTV service — IPTVBros gives you the major UK sports broadcast networks that carry the Premier League for around £9.99/month equivalent, compared to £60–£80/month for the full Sky Sports package. Here is the complete guide for UK viewers.

The True Cost of Sky Sports in 2026

Sky Sports remains the primary Premier League broadcaster in the UK, holding the rights to the majority of the 380 matches each season. But the cost of accessing it has become genuinely difficult to justify.

A standard Sky TV package with Sky Sports now costs between £60 and £80 per month depending on your bundle. Add TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) via Discovery+, and you are looking at another £30.99 per month. To watch every Premier League match legally through these two services, many supporters are paying over £90 per month — well over £1,000 per year.

For context, the UK’s average broadband bill is around £35/month. Paying three times your broadband bill just to watch sport is a tough pill to swallow when alternatives exist.

Alternatives for Premier League Viewing

Here is a breakdown of every option available to UK viewers who want to watch the Premier League without a full Sky subscription:

1. IPTVBros — Most Comprehensive, Lowest Monthly Cost

IPTVBros includes the major UK sports broadcast networks that carry Premier League, Champions League, and Europa League coverage in one subscription. The equivalent monthly cost is approximately £9.99 — saving UK viewers over £600 per year compared to the Sky + TNT combination.

You also get BBC iPlayer content (where applicable), ITV, Channel 4, and 27,000+ other channels — meaning IPTVBros replaces your entire Sky package, not just the sports portion.

2. TNT Sports via Discovery+

Discovery+ with TNT Sports costs £30.99/month and gives you Champions League, Europa League, and a portion of Premier League matches. It does not include Sky Sports, so you will miss the majority of Premier League fixtures.

3. Amazon Prime Video

Amazon Prime Video holds the rights to select Premier League match weeks, typically around the festive period. A Prime membership costs £8.99/month but does not provide full season coverage.

4. Sky Glass or Sky Stream (No Contract)

Sky offers Sky Glass (smart TV) and Sky Stream (streaming box) without a traditional satellite dish, from around £26/month for the hardware plus sports add-ons at £18–£22/month. Still significantly more expensive than IPTV but a legitimate option for those who want the official Sky interface.

IPTV Option — Most Channels, Lowest Cost

For supporters who want comprehensive Premier League coverage without paying Sky’s monthly rates, an IPTV service is the most practical solution. IPTVBros gives you:

• Major UK sports broadcast networks — covering the majority of Premier League fixtures
• Flagship multi-sport channel coverage — marquee matches
• Additional football content and analysis
• Champions League and Europa League coverage, plus remaining Premier League matches
• Other major UK sports coverage — including F1, cricket, golf, and combat sports

The setup process takes less than five minutes on a Firestick. Once configured, the viewing experience is indistinguishable from watching via a set-top box — full EPG guide, catch-up where supported, and 4K Ultra HD quality.

Full Season Cost Comparison Table

Here is what each option costs over a full Premier League season (10 months, August–May):

Option	Monthly Cost	Season Total (10 months)
IPTVBros	~£9.99	~£100
Sky Sports (contract)	£60–£80	£600–£800
TNT Sports (Discovery+)	£30.99	£310
Sky + TNT Combined	£90+	£900+
Amazon Prime (select matches)	£8.99	£90 (very limited coverage)

The savings over a full season are considerable. The average supporter switching from Sky + TNT to IPTVBros saves over £800 per Premier League season.

How to Set Up on Firestick in the UK

The Amazon Firestick is the most popular streaming device in the UK and works perfectly with IPTVBros. Here is how to set it up:

1. Start your free trial — Visit IPTVBros free trial. No credit card or payment details required. You receive login credentials by email within minutes.

2. Install TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro — On your Firestick, search for either app in the Amazon App Store. Both are free. TiviMate is our recommended choice for UK viewers due to its excellent EPG (electronic programme guide) support.

3. Enter your credentials — Open TiviMate, select “Add Playlist,” then “Xtream Codes API.” Enter the server address, username, and password from your welcome email.

4. Find your Premier League channels — Browse the Sports category or use search to find the UK sports broadcast networks carrying the Premier League. Add these to your favourites list for quick access on match days.

5. Enjoy the match — Channel quality is 4K Ultra HD where available. For stable 4K, ensure your broadband connection is at least 25 Mbps. Most UK broadband packages well exceed this requirement.

We also recommend connecting a reputable VPN (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark) to your Firestick before launching IPTVBros. This adds a layer of privacy and protects your viewing activity from your ISP.
