Premier League 2026/27: Friday, August 21 – Sunday, May 31

Marcos Senesi, Harry Wilson, Jordan Henderson, Andy Robertson and Thomas Meunier each have something in common: they were all free transfers over the summer. We've unearthed three better freebies, however – free trials that will let you watch some Premier League games for nothing.

The start of the 2026/27 Premier League campaign feels like appointment viewing, because of the sheer scale of change we've seen in the offseason. Liverpool, Man City, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle, Chelsea, Bournemouth and Fulham are all taking their first steps under new managers, as are newly promoted Ipswich.

While some partnerships will be a match made in heaven, others are bound to run into problems early. Enzo Maresca, for instance, is already feeling the heat after Man City's pasting by Arsenal in the Community Shield. Xabi Alonso may be one of the hottest properties in football, but a noxious environment did him in at Real Madrid and he's walked straight into another at Chelsea.

You'll want to see how these play out. Read on as we explain how to stream Premier League 2026/27 for free with trial offers.

Use a VPN to watch Premier League free trials from anywhere

Free trials that will unlock Premier League coverage are only really available in the US, which means you'll be stumped the moment you leave the country on vacation or for work.

A VPN is handy piece of software that can make your device appear as if it's back in your home country, so you can unlock your usual service. The best VPN right now? We recommend NordVPN – it does everything and comes with up to 75% off.

Stream Premier League 2026/27 free with trial offers

In the US, select Premier League games are being televised on USA Network, NBC and NBCSN, which are carried by YouTube TV and Fubo, which both offer free trials.

Hulu + Live TV and DirecTV Stream are other services with free trials, but they only carry USA Network and NBC.

The YouTube TV free trial can be anything between five and 21 days (it's 10 days at the time of writing).

The base plan costs $82.99/month as standard, but in addition to the free trial new customers get $15 off each of their first three months.

The Sports plan typically costs $64.99/month, but new subscribers get $10 off each of their first 12 months, on top of the free trial.

Both plans carry USA Network, NBC and NBCSN, and come with unlimited DVR and streaming access on up to three devices at a time.

How do I cancel? YouTube TV lets you cancel your free trial in advance. You'll be able to continue accessing the service until your trial period expires.

The DirectTV Stream free trial lasts for five days.

The MySports genre pack costs $64.99/month as standard, but in addition to the free trial new customers get $15 off their first month, plus access to ESPN Unlimited.

The Entertainment plan typically costs $89.99/month, but new subscribers get $30 off their first month and $5 off each of their next 23 months, on top of the free trial. It also includes unlimited DVR, access on an unlimited number of devices, and subscriptions to ESPN Unlimited, Disney+ and Hulu.

Both plans carry USA Network and NBC.

How do I cancel? Again, you have to be vigilant with DirectTV Stream, because your free trial will end the moment you cancel it.

What Premier League games can you watch with a free trial?

During Week 1 of the 2026/27 Premier League season, a free trial would let you watch up to eight games that are due to be televised on USA Network, NBC and NBCSN:
