Liverpool F.C. enters the Premier League season with high expectations after a strong campaign last year, finishing in third place in the Premier League table behind Manchester City and Arsenal. They also won the Carabao Cup under outgoing manager Jürgen Klopp.
Key players like Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and recent signing Alexis Mac Allister are set to lead the charge. Last season saw impressive performances, but inconsistencies hampered their title challenge. New manager Arne Slot aims to reclaim a top-four spot and contend for the title with a reinvigorated squad. The Reds are poised to showcase their trademark attacking flair and solid defense, aiming to bring silverware back to Anfield and reward their passionate fanbase.
NBC began airing Premier League matches in 2013 and renewed the contract in 2022. This ensures that NBC, USA Network, Universo, and Telemundo will continue to air matches regularly.

DIRECTV STREAM is typically one of the best live TV streaming services for sports. But if you want Premier League coverage, you’ll need to upgrade to find all four channels. The Entertainment plan features NBC and USA Network, but you must either purchase Telemundo and Universo separately or upgrade to the Ultimate plan for Universo.
DIRECTV STREAM does have an advantage over its competitors with its regional sports networks (RSNs). Granted, subscribers must upgrade to the Choice plan and beyond, but it is unique in that it doesn’t charge a regional sports fee. With every DIRECTV STREAM plan, subscribers get unlimited DVR storage, unlimited at-home streams and three out-of-home streams.
Hulu + Live TV is underrated for sports coverage, but it’s perfect for Premier League fans. The plan includes NBC, USA Network, Telemundo and Universo. But the real value is found in its bundle partners, Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. With these three, you can access the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a plethora of Disney classics, ESPN’s lauded "30 for 30" sports documentary library and unrivaled combat sports programming.
Subscribers can also enjoy ESPN’s family of networks, including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNEWS, ESPN College Extra, ESPNU, as well as the SEC Network, NHL Network, CBS Sports Network, GOLF Channel, Big Ten Network and many more. You can also purchase the Sports Add-on for an extra $9.99 per month.
There are only two simultaneous streams, but on the plus side, there is unlimited DVR storage.
Sling TV is one of the best options for subscribers on a tight budget who want a live TV streaming service. There are three Sling TV plans: the Orange plan, the Blue plan and the combined Orange & Blue plan. There’s not much available for Premier League fans, though. The Blue and Orange & Blue plans feature NBC — depending on your region; you’ll have to check to see if it’s available in your ZIP code — and USA Network. Fox, FS1, NFL Network, TBS and TNT are among the other sports mainstays; if you choose the Orange & Blue bundle, you will also get the ESPN family of networks.
Blue and Orange & Blue subscribers can watch three streams at once, but they only have 50 hours of DVR storage capacity. Fubo does give you the option to upgrade to 2000 hours for an additional fee.
Fubo has always been the go-to sports streaming service for football/soccer fans. The platform started out as a soccer-centric service before expanding to include a broader variety of sports. But Premier League fans can still get their footie fix here. There are three main Fubo plans, but you simply need the base Essential plan for Liverpool matches.
This entry-level package includes NBC, USA Network, Telemundo and Universo among its channel list. The plan also features sports channels like beIN SPORTS, the Big Ten Network, CBS Sports Network, Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2, just to name a few.
Fubo offers unlimited Cloud DVR in all plans at no extra charge. Subscribers can also look forward to up to 10 simultaneous streams at home.
YouTube TV cuts through the noise with only two plans: an English-language base plan and a Spanish plan. The base plan includes all the essentials for keeping up with the Premier League: NBC, USA Network, Universo and Telemundo.
But suppose you’re looking for more than a beautiful game. In that case, YouTube TV has a variety of channels representing mainstream and niche sports, like ACC Network (ACCN), Big Ten Network (BTN), CBS Sports Network, ESPNEWS, ESPNU, GOLF Channel, NBA TV, NFL Network and SEC Network. Unfortunately, you won’t find RSNs for comprehensive local coverage, but there’s still more than enough to keep the average sports fan in the loop.
Subscribers will also enjoy unlimited DVR storage, up to six personalized accounts and three simultaneous streams.
You can watch every Premier League match on-demand on Peacock because it is the league's official streaming partner. Premier League matches that are broadcast on NBC are simulcast live on Peacock and and are available on-demand after the match concludes. Peacock also has a selection of exclusive live matches.
Fans have multiple options for watching Premier League and, by extension, Liverpool matches. NBC, USA Network, Universo and Telemundo all offer Premier League coverage. Live TV streaming services DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV carry all or at least a couple of these channels.
Prime Video carries Premier League games outside of the U.S., but if you want to watch Liverpool F.C. in the USA, you’ll need the options listed above.
ESPN Plus does not carry Premier League coverage, but there’s still lots of football programming available. Fans can enjoy matches from the Bundesliga, La Liga, Carabao Cup and Copa Del Rey.
