After finishing middle-of-the-pack last season, Manchester United fans are ready to see the 20-time champion club find its footing and retake its place at the top in its historic 100th year in the top flight of British football. Man United devotees are ready to see captain Bruno Fernandes lead the team to the top of the standings again.
United has a core set of talented youngsters that fans and pundits hope will let the team soar to its previous heights. Players like Rasmus Højlund, Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho could become the backbone that takes United back to the top. If you've cut the cord, make sure you have a live TV streaming service that will give you access to every game possible this soccer season.
As soccer steadily grows in popularity in America, Premier League matches, including Manchester United matches, are broadcast on easily accessible networks. The only channels you need to catch televised Premier League games are NBC and USA, or Telemundo for Spanish-language coverage. You’ll also find games on the Peacock streaming service.

Peacock is a great option for Manchester United fans, as it offers complete access to NBCUniversal’s Premier League coverage at an affordable price. Peacock is available in both monthly and annual subscriptions, and the annual subscription cost is less than some live TV streaming services charge for a month. If you need Premier League matches, including Manchester United, but don’t need a huge bill – look at Peacock.
Any Premier League match that airs live on NBC will also stream live on Peacock. There are also matches that will be Peacock exclusives. Matches that air on USA Network will not be available live on Peacock but can be streamed on-demand the next day. Matches that air on NBC or Peacock are available to stream on-demand shortly after the match ends. That means every Manchester United game will be available on Peacock at some point.
DIRECTV STREAM offers excellent service for Man United fans who need one service to give them every network they need to catch Premier League soccer. NBC and USA are included in the basic tier of DIRECTV STREAM’s packages, called Entertainment. Telemundo is available as part of the Óptimo Más Spanish-language package. Universo is included in the Ultimate package and up.
We mean it when we say that DIRECTV STREAM comes with a huge list of available channels — if you want even more sports, DIRECTV STREAM offers ESPN, Fox Sports 1 (FS1), NBA TV and more.
But all those options come with their own challenges; what happens if you want to watch two things at once? While cloning yourself might be out of the question, you can utilize DIRECTV STREAM’s included Cloud DVR. You’ll get unlimited storage for no extra monthly cost.
Does this count as a hat trick? Hulu + Live TV also offers every network you need to catch Premier League games in the U.S., making this the third live TV streaming service in a row on our list to do so. In case you forgot already, NBC, USA Network, Telemundo and Universo are where you can catch Manchester United games on American TV, and Hulu + Live TV offers all of them. To get Universo, you’ll need to add the Spanish Add-on.
If that isn’t enough, Hulu + Live TV also comes with access to Hulu’s complete on-demand streaming library, Disney Plus and ESPN Plus, meaning that no matter what you feel like watching on any particular day, you’re covered. Hulu + Live TV might not offer as many live TV networks as other streaming platforms, but between its huge on-demand library and unlimited DVR storage, even if there isn’t anything on good on live, you’ll probably still find something good to watch.
If keeping up with Manchester United is important to you, Sling TV might leave you disappointed. Sling TV includes USA Network with its Sling Blue and Sling Orange & Blue plans but only offers NBC in select areas. You’ll have to check if it’s available in your ZIP code. Telemundo and Universo are not available.
Regardless, Sling TV plans come with 50 hours of DVR storage, meaning that you’ll be able to record any games you get that you have to miss. You can upgrade to unlimited cloud DVR for an extra fee.
Like DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo offers all four channels you might need to watch Premier League matches in the U.S. Manchester United fans can find NBC, USA Network, Telemundo and Universo on Fubo, alongside more soccer networks like beIN Sports, Fubo Sports and more.
Fubo comes with a huge list of available channels, like some other streaming options. Thankfully, Fubo plans all include unlimited Cloud DVR storage, so you’ll never have to worry about missing a big game.
YouTube TV is another perfect fit for Manchester United fans. It includes NBC, USA Network, Telemundo and Universo in its one-size-fits-all plan. Multi-faceted sports fans will be happy to find ESPN, FS1, CBS Sports Network and more with YouTube TV as well. News and entertainment networks like FX, CNN, Fox News and Disney Channel are all present and accounted for, too.
If you spend a lot of time away from your TV set but still need to catch your Man United games, YouTube TV includes unlimited cloud DVR storage, too – life can try, but it won’t get between you and your Premier League matches!
Any of the streaming services described above offer an app where you can watch Manchester United. That means Peacock, DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV and are all valid options.
