VPN deal of the week: here's the VPN I recommend for the last weekend of the Premier League 2026 — it's great with streaming services, keeps your online data secure, and has apps for every streaming device imaginable

NordVPN apps running on various devices during TechRadar's testing

The 2026 Premier League season is coming to a close. Whether you're watching behind your hands for fear of your team being relegated or hoping for a snatch-and-grab win to get into Europe, Sunday the 24th certainly isn't a gameweek to miss.

An easy way to ensure you don't miss a kick is with a VPN. Virtual Private Networks secure your connection via an encrypted tunnel. Since these services have servers worldwide, you can choose to connect via a tunnel in your home country. This means if you're traveling over the weekend, you can stream the game with your usual streaming service, without encountering location-based blocks.

Right now, NordVPN is only $3.09 per month — $83.43 in total — for 27 months of protection. This means you'll get secure access to the finale of this Premier League season, plus two more after that.

NordVPN is my go-to VPN recommendation for getting top streaming performance when watching live sports. It's super quick, has servers in 211 locations worldwide, and works with almost every streaming service out there. This means that no matter your location or device, you won't miss out on this weekend's Premier League action.

You can also try it before committing by using the 30-day money-back guarantee.

Streaming is the biggest challenge VPNs face. The best streaming VPNs regularly update their servers to ensure their IP addresses work with key platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, while also ensuring your streaming quality isn't massively impacted once you're signed in.

Our most recent tests proved NordVPN was the best overall at these areas. That said, several VPNs work well with sports-focused streaming platforms if you want something a touch cheaper or with different features.

Personally, Surfshark is my next best recommendation. It does sometimes struggle with dropouts when watching live events, but it starts from $1.99 and comes packed with other features.

Alternatively, Proton VPN is as secure as NordVPN, is normally slightly cheaper (between $2.79 and $2.99 per month), and offers an equally broad selection of server locations. That said, it struggled to reach the same streaming quality as NordVPN on regular occasions.
