Premier League football is approaching the third round of lockdown matches and Liverpool have been officially crowned kings of England.
The Reds destroyed Crystal Palace during the midweek Premier League fixtures, but they were shunted over the line by Manchester City’s defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Jurgen Klopp won’t let his side relent, however. Man City set the bar for 100 points in a Premier League season during the 2017/18 campaign, and Klopp’s men will be determined to shatter that record. They can reach a maximum of 107 points if they win all seven remaining games.
Elsewhere in the league, Chelsea remain in pole position for a Champions League spot though Manchester United have entered the restart looking strong and will be desperate to prove their worth in the final weeks of the campaign.
In a weekend disrupted by FA Cup fixtures, Aston Villa host Wolves in a massive Midlands derby featuring two sides with contrasting fortunes.
Villa need a victory from anywhere to give them a shot at survival, while Wolves remain in contention for a Europa League place at least, with the Champions League not out of their grasp yet.
Watford face Southampton on Sunday as they too seek to clamber out of the danger zone, while the Saints have little to play for, but every position counts when it comes to the end-of-season prize money.
NOW TV has a Sky Sports Pass for £25 a month to help you watch the remaining games – more on that below as we explain what to watch where, including the Premier League free-to-air games.
Check out the full list of Premier League fixtures, times and channels for all remaining games in 2019/20.
When does the Premier League season end?
The Premier League officially returned on Wednesday 17th June 2020, exactly 100 days after the last game took place in March.
The three-month break was longer than a regular off-season for the Premier League, meaning players have had to maintain their fitness throughout and those who haven’t could be found out.
All of remaining games will be played in a six-week window – including three rounds of midweek matches – with the 2019/20 season set to end on Sunday 26th July 2020, barring any hiccups along the way.
Which TV channels will they be on?
“I swear, you’ll never see anything like this ever again!” Martin Tyler, Sky Sports commentator, seconds after Sergio Aguero slammed home the title-winner for Manchester City in 2012…
Or was he talking about the fact we have 92 live games of Premier League football to take place on almost every day of the week for the next two months?
You will have heard the term unprecedented on an unprecedented scale during ‘these unprecedented times’, but you could easily apply it to the situation the Premier League now finds itself in.
We’ve got eight full match weeks left of top flight football goodness to absorb in the coming weeks following the opening round, and every single game will be beamed live to the nation – every single one of them.
Sky Sports and BT Sport have claimed the lion’s share, while for the first time ever, BBC won the rights to show live Premier League football across their platforms. Amazon Prime Video has also been awarded several games, and have confirmed they too will be made free-to-air.
Sky Sports are regular stewards of Premier League TV rights and they boast the lion’s share of the coverage with 64 games though 25 of those have been made available to watch on free channel Pick TV.
All matches on Sky Sports will also be available via streaming service NOW TV which requires no contracts or long-term deals, just short-term passes to soak up the games you want to.
BT Sport close out the broadcasters with 20 live games and while none have been made free-to-air, there are plenty of deals and monthly passes to get the service without having to shell out on a contract.
How many of the Premier League games are free to air?
In total 33 of the 92 lockdown matches will be free-to-air. Sky is showing the bulk of the games – 64 matches. Out of these games 25 re free to air, that’s live online or Freeview on Sky Pick. BT Sport has the rights to 20 of the games. BBC Sport airs four, and another four are on Amazon Prime, but you won’t need Prime membership.
What time will the games kick-off?
The times vary throughout the week but generally follow this time schedule:
- Monday – 8pm
- Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday – 6pm, 8pm and 8.15pm
- Friday – 6pm or 8pm
- Saturday – 12:30pm, 3pm, 5:30pm, 7:45pm
- Sunday – 12pm, 2pm, 4:15pm, 4:30pm and 7pm
Where can I listen to Premier League commentary?
The BBC will provide live radio commentary for all the matches.
Who is playing next?
Aston Villa face Wolves in the next Premier League fixture, live on BT Sport this Saturday. It’s the only game of the day due to FA Cup ties being played.
Watford v Southampton is next up, with fans able to watch it across all Sky TV platforms including the free-to-air Pick TV channel.
The rest of the gameweek will take place between Monday and Thursday before – you guessed it – more Premier League games at the weekend. Relentless. Wonderful.
