West Ham United enters the Premier League season with high hopes after finishing ninth last year. The club will face Aston Villa at the London Stadium on the first weekend of the 2024–25 Premier League season, marking the beginning of Julen Lopetegui's tenure as manager, succeeding David Moyes.
Last season saw a mixed performance, with a strong start that petered off at the end. The new coach aims to improve consistency and push for a top-half finish. With a blend of experienced players and promising young talent, West Ham might even challenge for the EPL title.
NBC first started broadcasting Premier League matches in 2013 and re-upped the deal in 2022. This keeps the fixtures on the network's family of channels, including NBC, USA Network, Universo and Telemundo. Premier League matches are also available on NBCUniversal’s Peacock streaming service.

You never have to miss a West Ham match with DIRECTV STREAM. Your local NBC station is part of the DIRECTV STREAM Entertainment plan's basic package. Matches can also be viewed on USA Network. If you want to watch Telemundo or Universo, you can purchase the channels separately or, in the case of Universo, upgrade to the Ultimate plan.
Numerous other channels cater to sports fans, such as ESPN, Fox Sports 1 (FS1), NBA TV, NHL Network, SEC Network, GOLF Channel and Tennis Channel.
Subscribers get unlimited DVR storage, unlimited at-home streams and three out-of-home streams with every DIRECTV STREAM plan.
Hulu + Live TV is not known for sports streaming but has everything West Ham fans need to watch matches: NBC, USA Network, Telemundo and Universo. Where the service shines is in its value for money. Besides the Hulu library and 95-plus channels, subscribers unlock Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. This trio opens up the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a large collection of Disney classics and the library of ESPN’s celebrated “30 for 30” documentary series.
The unlimited DVR storage comes in clutch when you can’t watch live matches. There is one drawback — only two simultaneous streams.
Sling TV is the most limited live TV streaming service for watching Premier League teams including West Ham, but it’s also the most budget-friendly. Depending on your region, you can access NBC and USA Network, which is part of the Sling Blue and hybrid Sling Orange & Blue plans. Otherwise, there are other sports staples like Fox, FS1, NFL Network, TBS and TNT, plus the ESPN family of networks if you opt for the combo Orange & Blue.
Subscribers to the Blue or Orange & Blue plans can enjoy three simultaneous streams but only 50 hours of DVR storage. For a small fee, they can upgrade to 200 hours.
Fubo made its name as a soccer-centric sports streaming service, so it’s no surprise that it’s one of the top platforms for Premier League coverage. The Essential plan features 211+ channels, which is more than any other base plan on this list.
The roster includes NBC, USA Network, Telemundo and Universo. There’s also lots of international football fixtures on Fubo available in the International Sports Plus Add-on for an additional monthly fee. These include Fox Deportes, ESPN HD Deportes, GOLTV English, GOLTV Spanish, TyC Sports, Fox Soccer Plus and more.
Fubo also offers unlimited Cloud DVR. When paired with up to 10 simultaneous at-home streams, Fubo might be the best option for West Ham fans.
Among YouTube TV’s 100-plus channels, you’ll find all the essentials for keeping up with the Premier League and West Ham: NBC, USA Network, Telemundo and Universo. YouTube TV also has an extensive list of channels for watching professional and amateur sports leagues. The streamer’s lineup features ESPN, NBA TV, NFL Network, TBS, GOLF Channel, SEC Network and many more.
In addition to this variety of options for sports fans, you can take advantage of unlimited DVR storage and create up to six personalized profiles.
As the Premier League's official streaming partner, Peacock allows you to view every match on its platform. 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. So every West Ham match of the 2024-25 season will be available on Peacock eventually, but not always live. Regardless, as a way to get a ton of Premier League content in one place for a low price, Peacock can’t be beat.
West Ham United fans can follow the matches on NBC, USA Network, Telemundo, Universo and Peacock. ESPN has West Ham’s full fixture schedule.
