The Premier League is back

It’s been a summer full of football and just like that the Premier League is back. It’s time to settle in for the 2024/25 Premier League season. Here’s how you can watch the biggest games in the best video quality available.

Are you ready for the next nine months of fraught emotion? Your weekends being dicated by kick-off times and the compulsory loss of senses at various points when it all gets a bit too much? Us too.

The Premier League returns with Manchester City favourites to make it an unprecedented five league titles in a row, while the chasing pack is likely to be led by Arsenal for the third season in a row. Can Mikel Arteta’s men finally get over the hump and bring the title back to North London?

Liverpool have a new manager (and no new players), while Chelsea look in a familiar state of flux. Man United stuck with a manager who finished 8th in the league, on the back of one good performance in the FA Cup Final, and Spurs will look to kick on again in “Ange” Postecoglou’s second season at the helm. Aston Villa will also be looking to improve upon last season’s impressive fourth-placed finish.

At the other end of the table, Ipswich, Southampton, and Leicester are back in the big time and will hope to preserve their Premier League statuses beyond this season.

It’s set to be an intriguing season whether you’re in the stadium or watching the action from your home. If you are watching from home, here’s our guide on how to watch the Premier League in 4K HDR for the 2024/2025 season.

Where can I watch the Premier League in 4K HDR?

There are three providers offering Premier League 2024/25 games in 4K HDR.

Starting with Sky. The broadcaster has the most rights to the Premier League in 4K HDR, with 128 matches throughout the campaign. You can catch the football in 4K HDR with either a Sky Q set-top box, Sky Stream or the Sky Glass TV. For Sky Stream or Sky Glass, make sure you’ve upgraded your package with the Ultra HD HDR boost pack.

To watch Sky’s HDR coverage, you’ll also need a Sky Sports or Sky Sports Football subscription with HDR subscribers needing to press the red button during a game to view the 4K HDR feed.

Right now you can subscribe to Sky Stream with access to Sky Sports, Netflix and the Sky Entertainment bundle for just £43 a month including Ultra HD HDR. And you’ll get a free Sky Stream puck too!

The action starts right now with Manchester United hosting Fulham in the season opener!

The second option is TNT Sports (fka BT Sport). The Warner Bros. Discovery-owned channels have access to 52 matches once again this season. Primarily, they’ll be the 12:30pm Saturday morning kickoffs with others scattered throughout the campaign.

Option number three is Prime Video. There will be 20 fixtures spread over three matchdays, the first across December 3rd/4th 2024, and the third match day is Boxing day, December 26. A Prime Video subscription is required to watch as these matches are exclusive to Prime Video users. You can sign up to Amazon Prime with a 30-day free trial below.

What do I need to watch the Premier League in 4K HDR?

The most obvious component is having a 4K HDR compatible TV. 4K HDR TVs are the norm now rather than the outlier, though not all 4K TVs are equal. For the best performance you’ll need to shop further up price range.

Sky subscribers will have their Sky Q box (you can check this page for which Sky Q boxes are compatible), Sky Stream, and Sky Glass. There are instructions on how to set-up Ultra HD and HDR here.

TNT Sport and Amazon Prime customers need a subscription to the relevant tier and access to a 4K capable device and display to watch it on. So, for example, the Roku Streaming Stick 4K or Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max partnered with a 4K TV will do.

Other devices that support TNT Sport include Google Chromecast with Google TV, Apple TV 4K, Roku 4K devices and Xbox Series S and X. There is an app for the PS5 but as far as we know 4K HDR is not supported.

You can count on Prime Video being supported by all those devices in 4K, as well as Amazon’s own Fire TV Cube.
