If you want the freedom and flexibility to be able to live stream games in some of Europe’s top football leagues, wherever and whenever you are, you’ll be pleased to know there are multiple avenues to consider when picking a streaming platform for top-flight football action.
Whether you’re wanting to watch a one-off game or catch an entire season of your favourite club, we’ve got you covered with innovative ideas to stream some of the biggest domestic leagues living in the UK.
Online sportsbooks
One increasingly popular option to catch live streamed European club football games is to open an account with a leading online sportsbook. Some operators have partnerships with broadcasters enabling them to live stream games from some of the top divisions in European domestic football. Long established online sportsbook, Unibet, makes it possible to live stream selected fixtures via its online portal. All you need is an active, funded account to catch live football streams of games ranging from the Italian Serie A to the Spanish La Liga.
Terrestrial live streaming apps
Several of the leading terrestrial channels now have their own on-demand streaming platforms. This includes the BBC, which has BBC iPlayer. ITV also has ITVX. The latter of which is best known for its partnership with Disney, meanwhile Channel 4 also has its own stable video on-demand portal. It’s important to mention this because you should be able to get live streams of some of the biggest international games on BBC, ITV and Channel 4. This includes the women’s international scene as well as the men’s. The biggest international tournaments, qualifiers and friendlies are usually broadcast on BBC iPlayer, ITVX or Channel 4.
Sky Sports and NOW TV
If you’re looking for English Premier League action, Sky Sports is the number-one home for live streamed Premier League games. If you opt for a Sky Sports satellite package, you’ll get the option to download Sky GO onto your devices. This app allows you to live stream games on alternative devices to your main satellite television.
Sky Sports also owns NOW TV which offers a more flexible alternative to live streaming Premier League games. With NOW TV, there are zero contractual obligations involved. You can pay daily, weekly or monthly and cancel your subscription whenever you want. This is the ideal live streaming option for casual Premier League fans who don’t want to be tied down by 12-18 months with a Sky Sports subscription plan.

Amazon Prime Video took a giant leap into the Premier League streaming realm at the start of the 2019/20 season. It was awarded rights to one of the lesser broadcasting rights packages of the Premier League, which is usually in the depths of winter over the festive season.
Anyone with an Amazon Prime membership should be able to watch these games on any device with the Amazon Prime Video app installed.
Premier Sports
Premier Sports is another on-demand live streaming platform available to residents in the UK. There are two subscription plans – one allows you to pay £7.99 a month to access La Liga TV, giving you access to every Spanish La Liga and La Liga 2 game, or pay £10.99 a month to get access to every live sporting event broadcast on Premier Sports.
In football terms, this doesn’t just give you access to La Liga and La Liga 2. It also covers the Scottish Premiership, the Coppa Italia and the German Cup (DFB Pokal). Games are streamed across Premier Sports 1 and 2, while some games are offered as ‘streaming only’ services.
Hopefully this quintet of live streaming options gives you plenty of coverage of Europe’s elite domestic football leagues, as well as the biggest games on the continental and international stages. Just make sure you have a reliable 4G/5G or fibre broadband connection and you can be sure of flawless coverage on any device, regardless of screen size.
