How to Watch the Premier League in Australia

The English Premier League is the most-watched football league on the planet, beaming into more than 180 countries every weekend. In Australia, it moved to a new home last season, and that home is now locked in until 2034.

If you are still looking for the EPL on Optus Sport, here is where the league lives now and how to stream matches on Sportsbet while you have a punt.

The Premier League's Home in Australia

For years, Optus Sport was the go-to for English football in Australia. That era is over. Nine Entertainment took over the exclusive rights from the 2025/26 season, and every match now streams on Stan Sport.

Optus Sport no longer carries the league, so if that was your old habit, it is time to switch across.

In September 2026, Nine extended the deal through to the end of the 2033/34 season, so the setup is here to stay. The move to Stan also brought something Australian fans did not have before: select matches streamed in 4K.

Streaming Every 2026/27 EPL Match on Stan Sport

The full menu lives on Stan Sport. Every one of the 380 Premier League matches across the season is available live, so no fixture slips through the cracks.

Stan Sport is an add-on, which means you need a base Stan subscription first and then the sport pack on top.

All up, the cheapest combination comes to about AU$30 a month with the ad-supported base plan, and the service runs on phones, tablets, smart TVs and through the app.

Stan has changed its plans and prices more than once since taking over the EPL, so confirm the current rate before you commit.

Is the Premier League on Free-to-Air?

Only occasionally. Nine simulcast a handful of matches on Channel 9 and 9Now when it launched its coverage in 2025/26, but there is no regular free-to-air match.

Every match this season is live and exclusive on Stan Sport, so a subscription is the only reliable way to follow the league.

Casual fans can keep an eye on Nine's schedule for the odd special broadcast, but do not count on one.

When Is the Premier League On?

The English season runs from August to May, with matches concentrated on the weekend and busy midweek rounds around the festive period.

The time difference does Australian fans a mixed favour. Saturday's early kick-off in England lands late on Saturday night on the east coast, the afternoon games run into the small hours of Sunday morning, and Sunday fixtures push into Monday.

Boxing Day and the New Year rounds are a treat if you are up late over the holidays. Check the schedule round by round and plan your late nights.

How to Stream the Premier League on Sportsbet

Beyond the broadcasters, Sportsbet live streams a massive spread of sport straight through the app and website, and it is a handy way to keep eyes on your bet in real time.

Getting the vision going takes only a few steps:

• Step 1: Download the Sportsbet app or open the Sportsbet website.
• Step 2: Log in or set up your account.
• Step 3: Check you have a positive balance or have placed a bet in the last 24 hours.
• Step 4: Find the soccer section, then the match you want.
• Step 5: Tap the Watch Live icon on that game's betting page.
• Step 6: Sit back and follow the action. 

The eligibility rule is the one to remember: a positive balance or a bet in the previous 24 hours unlocks the stream. Streaming availability can change through the season and the odd fixture may not be covered, so check the specific game in the app before kick-off.

A word on approach: the Premier League's relentless schedule means rotation, fatigue and fixture pile-ups swing results more than in most leagues, so a squad's depth and its midweek workload often matter as much as its name.
