How to Watch Premier League in Australia. Photo Sporting News

For many Australians, the English Premier League is what comes to mind when people mention football (or soccer). Otherwise known as the EPL, the league is widely considered the best in the world, home to many of the best players, teams, and most exciting matches – giving us plenty to cheer – or cry – about, depending on which side you support.

For Aussie fans however, the EPL can be a tough watch, even if you’re team is winning, with time zones often playing havoc on broadcasts and natural sleeping schedules! With the latest season of the EPL kicking off in August, this page explains where – and how – you can tune in for the action, including live and replay coverage.

Watch Premier League in Australia on Optus Sport

Securing the rights to EPL coverage a few years ago, Optus Sport remains the best place to catch all the action, offering live and on-demand replays of every match of the EPL season, as well as highlights programs for those who just want to see the weekend’s best goals. Optus Sport also covers the latest league news, stats, and behind the scenes footage from the EPL, as well as interviews and expert analysis of matches.

How can I get Optus Sport?

Some Optus customers can get Optus Sport for free with their phone or internet plan, while others can add it to their plan as an optional extra. Football fans who aren’t with the telco company can subscribe to Optus Sport.

If you’re not keen on watching the football on the small screen, Optus Sport is compatible with Fetch, Apple TV and Google Chromecast, allowing you to watch the best football action in the world on the big screen and in all its glory. You can also download the Optus Sport app for free, available via the App Store and Google Play Store.

Optus Sport is included free on Optus NBN plans, as well as on Optus’ Medium, Large, Extra Large and One postpaid phone plans. The following table shows a selection of published Optus postpaid SIM-only plans on Canstar Blue’s database, listed in order of standard monthly cost, from the lowest to highest, then by data allowance. Use our mobile comparison tool to see plans from a range of other providers. This is a selection of products with links to a referral partner.

How much does Optus Sport cost?

Assuming it's not bundled in for free with your Optus plan, an Optus Sport subscription will set you back $14.99/month. Existing Optus customers can add the subscription onto their current plan by contacting Optus, while non-Optus customers can purchase the subscription directly through the Optus Sport app.

Both new and existing Optus customers can also add Yes TV by Fetch to their Optus Sport subscription for an extra $5 a month. The Yes TV package includes a Fetch Mini set-top box capable of watching Optus Sport on your TV, along with a basic Fetch subscription.

Which devices are compatible with Optus Sport?

With Optus Sport, it doesn’t matter whether you're at home or on the go; most modern, Internet-capable devices will happily stream the EPL wherever you are.

For computer users, the Optus Sport website provides access to all things EPL. Optus Sport can be watched on PCs, Macs, iOS and Android devices, or on your TV via Fetch, Apple TV, Chromecast, Xbox One or Telstra TV.

If you've signed up for Yes TV by Fetch, you can download the Optus Sport app to your Fetch set-top box and stream the EPL through that. Fetch devices purchased through other Internet providers are not supported.

Each Optus Sport subscription supports up to 4 devices per account. Standard subscribers are limited to streaming on 1 device at a time, with Yes TV by Fetch subscribers able to stream to their Fetch set-top box plus 1 other device simultaneously.

How much data does Optus Sport use?

All EPL content streamed through Optus Sport on an Optus mobile, home broadband or mobile broadband connection is unmetered, meaning it won't count against your monthly data limit. If you're not an Optus mobile or broadband customer, on the other hand, streaming through Optus Sport will take a toll on your download cap.

As a general guide, streaming EPL matches through a computer uses a maximum of 1.6GB per hour, while streaming on a mobile device uses a maximum of 900MB per hour.

EPL Official App

While you might not be able to catch the live action, the official EPL app allows you to catch highlights, match-ups and news throughout the season. The EPL app is free to download and use, and is available on both Android and iOS operating systems, making it worth looking into if you don’t have the time to watch the whole game, or you’re only looking to see the final score. Additionally, you can also run your fantasy team via the app, adding a bit more excitement to the EPL season.

What’s the English Premier League?

If you’re new to the comp, the Premier League (also known as the EPL or English Premier League) is an annual football competition that sees the top English teams play for the title.

The comp runs on a promotion and relegation system that can see clubs move between divisions based on performance.

Manchester City is believed to be the favourite to win this time around, as the reigning champs. However, as the ABC writes, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea are also teams to watch.

When does the season start for 2021/22?

The first week of matches for the 2021/22 Premier League season kicks off on Saturday, August 14, 2021.

Brentford will play Arsenal at 5:00 am AEST in the first game of the season.
