Live Stream the Premier League: How to Watch Bournemouth v Arsenal Online

Due to geo-restrictions on EPL streaming websites, the only legal way to stream all Premier League games is to use a VPN.

However, the method for accessing EPL live streams with a VPN varies with the type of device you’re using.

Also, some apps like Setanta Sports are incompatible with Fire TV Stick and Android TV, so you’ll have to use alternative EPL apps such as DAZN or Peacock.

Here’s a quick summary of the methods required to watch all Premier League games online on different devices:

Platform	Best EPL Streaming Site	Method	Set-up Difficulty	Compatible VPNs
Desktop (Windows & Mac)	Setanta Sports	VPN App	Easy	NordVPN
Mobile (iOS & Android)	Setanta Sports	VPN App	Easy	NordVPN
Apple TV & Roku	Setanta Sports	AirPlay & VPN App	Easy	NordVPN
Fire TV & Android TV	DAZN Spain	New Account Region & VPN App	Medium	ExpressVPN & NordVPN

We’ve compiled detailed instructions for each platform in the sections below.

How to Watch the Premier League on Desktop or Laptop (Windows & Mac)

Accessing geo-blocked Premier League streaming websites on a PC is straightforward. Simply connect to a VPN server that allows access to the website and stream the game.

How to Watch the Premier League on Mobile (Android, iPhone & iPad)

Typically, to access geo-restricted apps on mobile, your Apple or Google account must be linked to a country where the streaming service is available.

However, we found that Setanta Sports is available in every app store location, regardless of the country your account is registered. You don’t have to create a new account to access it.

How to Watch the Premier League on Apple TV & Roku

Accessing geo-blocked content on Apple TV or Roku devices usually requires a relatively difficult setup process involving a Smart DNS tool or a VPN mobile hotspot.

However, we’ve discovered a simpler method for streaming live Premier League games using the Setanta Sports iOS app, which supports content sharing using AirPlay.

The advantage is that your Apple TV or Roku doesn’t need to be connected to a VPN as you can share the content directly from your mobile device. However, the downside is that this method requires an iPhone or iPad.

How to Watch the Premier League on Fire TV & Android TV

Sadly, most Premier League streaming apps are not available on Fire TV or Android TV. To access live games on these devices, you’ll need to use DAZN. We recommend DAZN over other platforms with TV apps, like Peacock, as it covers every EPL game and doesn’t require you to create a new app store account.

DAZN Spain is the only region that broadcasts every Premier League match. To access it, you’ll need an account registered in Spain. You cannot simply connect to a Spanish VPN server and access it with a UK-based or other account.

We’ve found the best websites (and apps) to live stream Bournemouth v Arsenal, by hand-testing 70 legal Premier League streaming websites as well as the most popular free live streams.

Only a few websites successfully matched all our criteria: they are 100% legal, provide live games in HD quality, deliver an excellent and user experience without buffering, and broadcast every single Premier League game.

However, all the websites we recommend are geo-blocked, meaning you can only access them with an IP address from specific countries. But, with a compatible VPN service you can spoof your location and watch Bournemouth v Arsenal from anywhere.

In the table below, you can compare popular Premier League streaming websites side-by-side:

Streaming Site	Do We Recommend?	IP Address Location	Commentary Language	Game Coverage	Monthly Price	Video Resolution	Legal Status
Setanta Sports	Yes	Ukraine	None	380 games	~£2.35	1080p	Legal
Peacock	Yes	US	English	175 games	~£4.75	1080p	Legal
TOD	Yes	UAE	English	380 games	~£14.00	720p	Legal
DAZN	Yes	Spain	Spanish	380 games	~£26.00	720p	Legal
Fubo	Yes	Canada	English	380 games	~£24.00	4K	Legal
Hesgoal, EPLsite & TOTALSPORTEK	No	Anywhere	English	380 games	100% free	Varies	Illegal

1. Setanta Sports

The best Premier League streaming site, with every game available in Full HD for roughly £2.35 a month.

Pros	Cons
Broadcasts every Premier League game in HD	No English commentary
Significantly cheaper than alternatives	Doesn’t have an app for Firestick
Mobile app is available in every country	Limited VPN compatibility
Supports any country’s payment card
Supports AirPlay for Apple TV & Roku compatibility

Based on our extensive research, Setanta Sports is by far the best website to watch Bournemouth v Arsenal. The streaming service has the rights for every Premier League game and it costs approximately £2.35 per month.

Setanta Sports is over 90% cheaper than Sky Sports and TNT Sports despite showing over three times as many games as both services.

Our streaming experience with Setanta Sports was excellent, as we didn’t experience any buffering issues and all games streamed in HD. Videos also loaded quickly and we could easily find the game by clicking the Premier League option from the home screen.

The platform accepts any payment card and its app is available worldwide. There’s no need to create a separate app store account or rely on third-party payment service, as is the case with alternatives like Peacock and DAZN.

One major downside is that Setanta Sports does not have English commentary and will instead default to Ukrainian. However, if you select English as the language option, Setanta Sports will instead disable commentary altogether and only broadcast the stadium noise. We found this preferable to listening to commentary in an unfamiliar language, like with Spanish on DAZN.

You will need a Ukraine IP address to access Setanta and the service imposes strict VPN blocks. Only NordVPN worked in our tests, so your choice of options is limited.

2. Peacock

Cheap and user-friendly Premier League streaming website for 3pm kick-offs.

Pros	Cons
Superb English commentary and punditry	Only shows 63% of EPL games
Cheaper than many alternatives	US payment details required
Sleek and intuitive interface	Shows pre-roll ads
Apps for Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV & Android TV	Requires a credit card to subscribe outside the US

Peacock is an excellent US-based streaming service from NBC. You can use it to live stream Premier League matches in 1080p resolution at 60fps. It provides English commentary and analysis by recognisable experts, like Lee Dixon and Peter Drury.

Peacock has the best interface of any Premier League streaming website we tested. The tile interface is well-designed and feels premium. You can quickly access the live stream of the game by clicking it under the ‘Peacock Picks’ heading.

That said, you will have to watch around 30 seconds of pre-roll ads unless you subscribe to Peacock Premium, which is twice as expensive at around £9.50 per month.

Unlike the other streaming services in this list, Peacock doesn’t cover every single Premier League game. But, we did find it broadcasts every 3pm match, making it an excellent choice if you just want to watch the games that aren’t on Sky, TNT, or Amazon Prime Video.

Sadly, getting access to Peacock without a credit card requires a US payment method. You can get one by creating a US Apple or Google account and purchasing a US app store gift card. However, our research found a workaround: you can subscribe to Peacock via its website using a credit card issued from any region.

3. TOD

Easy-to-use EPL streaming site with English language commentary.

Pros	Cons
English language commentary	Poor streaming quality
Excellent punditry team	Not compatible with Fire TV
Shows every EPL match	Comparatively expensive
Accepts payment from any country	Only accessible with one VPN service
Modern & user-friendly interface

TOD is an online-only service from beIN Sports, a highly reputable live sport broadcaster. It covers all 380 Premier League matches and, unlike Setanta Sports, TOD provides excellent English commentary and punditry.

There’s analysis of every match provided by notable pundits, like Richard Keys and Nigel De Jong. Though the stream defaults to Arabic, access to the English feed can be accessed by clicking on the music note icon in the bottom-right and selecting ‘Audio Track 2’.

However, TOD falls far short of Setanta Sports because of its poor streaming quality. All our testers reported that the video stream took over 50 seconds to load and the video quality was extremely poor.

Our subsequent technical analysis found that while TOD’s maximum resolution is 720p, it often reverted to a poor 360p. This happened even though our download speed, while connected to Windscribe’s UAE server, far exceeded the 5Mbps needed for HD video.

Due to its unsatisfactory user experience, we recommend that you only use TOD if you want to access every Premier League match, not just 3pm kick-offs, with English commentary and punditry. Otherwise, Setanta Sports or Peacock are better options.

4. DAZN Spain

Sports-focused streaming service with Spanish commentary.

Pros	Cons
Broadcasts every Premier League match	Apps for all devices, including Fire TV & Apple TV
Excellent punditry team	Not compatible with Fire TV
Shows every EPL match	Comparatively expensive
Accepts payment from any country	Only accessible with one VPN service
Modern & user-friendly interface

DAZN is a well-designed streaming website that specializes in live sports coverage. However, DAZN didn’t come close to matching the other Premier League websites in our usage.

Though both services broadcast every Premier League game, DAZN costs over £23.00 per month more than Setanta Sports. Plus, even with the additional cost, DAZN streams in a lower resolution of 720p instead of 1080p.

Plus, to watch the Premier League on DAZN, you will need a Spanish DAZN account. If your account is registered elsewhere, like the UK, you will see a padlock icon and it will not let you stream the content. You will have to purchase a gift card and create a new account to work around this.

As EPL matches are only available on the Spanish library of DAZN, every game only has Spanish commentary and punditry. Unlike TOD, there’s no option to select a separate audio track and, unlike Setanta Sports, there’s no way to mute it to only hear the stadium noise.

That said, we did like DAZN’s MultiView feature and wish it was available everywhere. When using the streaming service with multiple games happening simultaneously, like on Saturday at 3PM, we could display up to four games at once, allowing us to keep up with events from every game.

5. Fubo Canada

Hard-to-access Premier League content platform with 4K live streams.

Pros	Cons
Broadcasts every Premier League match	Apps for all devices, including Fire TV & Apple TV
Excellent punditry team	Not compatible with Fire TV
Shows every EPL match	Comparatively expensive
Accepts payment from any country	Only accessible with one VPN service
Modern & user-friendly interface

Fubo Canada is a superb Premier League that uniquely covers three Premier League games every matchweek in 4K. On every device we used, the video feed looked noticeably better than all other streaming sites, including Setanta and Peacock that stream in Full HD.

However, Fubo Canada features low down in our shortlist as it’s extremely difficult to access. Unless you have a Canadian payment method, or know someone that does, you will not be able to use the service.

We tried subscribing to the service using app store gift cards, international credit cards, and third party payment services and Fubo blocked the payment every time. We only successfully subscribed when using a debit card issued in Canada.

Once accessed, the service delivers an excellent user experience, with English commentary and analysis provided by experts like Michael Owen and Owen Hargreaves. The one annoyance is that the service doesn’t contain any full match replays. You’ll have to remember to record the match before it starts instead.

Our research uncovered that many popular Premier League live stream sites host unlicensed content, making it illegal to access them. They should not be used under any circumstances.

All these websites also contain links to unmoderated third party websites, some of which contain malware that could infect your device. Compared to legal alternatives, they offer a far worse user experience, containing intrusive ads, poor interface design, and potential security risks.

Hesgoal

Hesgoal is one of the most popular football streaming websites, hosting live matches from various leagues, including the Premier League.

However, Hesgoal is an unlicensed broadcaster and all games are hosted on the service illegally. It’s against the law to use the website and you should not do so under any circumstances.

Moreover, Hesgoal disappoints with the worst user experience of any other website we used. It displays all types of adverts, including pop-up, on-page banners, and pre-roll video ads, and it doesn’t allow you to access the website until you disable your ad blocker.

Additionally, during testing, we often encountered ‘stream is offline’ errors, hindering the viewing experience.

On the whole, we strongly advise against using Hesgoal. While free, for just £2.35 a month you can access Setanta Sports, a legal, ad-free service offering stable video streams without worrying about buffering or lag.

EPLsite

EPLsite is an unofficial streaming website that focuses on Premier League matches. Though filled with on-page ads, unlike Hesgoal, it’s compatible with ad-blockers.

Unlike other free Premier League streaming sites, EPLsite also includes a lot of additional content, like a news aggregator and post-match highlights. These are legal to access and makes EPLsite a suitable option if you don’t want to watch live games.

The user experience of EPLsite surpasses other unofficial sites, featuring an intuitive interface and the option to change video resolution. However, the unmoderated live comment section, which takes up around 25% of the window space, worsens the experience. To hide it, you’ll have to open the match in full screen.

Although EPLsite is nicer to use than Hesgoal, none of its live streams are legal to watch. You should avoid using it for legal reasons.

TOTALSPORTEK

TOTALSPORTEK is an illegitimate streaming website that broadcasts all live sporting events, including the Premier League. Though easy-to-use and well-designed, its interface is directly copied from LiveScore, a reputable website that offers latest football results.

Worryingly, we found that TOTALSPORTEK contains malware, which we detected using VirusTotal’s URL scanner. As a result, using the website could potentially infect your device and lead to data theft.

On top of this, when clicking to play videos on TOTALSPORTEK, it automatically opens a tab to a third-party website. This behavior is concerning as it could potentially lead to malicious and unmoderated websites, which might be used to deceive you.

Overall, TOTALSPORTEK is the worst website we used in our testing. It has all the indicators of a malicious website and is simply unsafe to use.

Some Premier League games are not on UK TV channels for two reasons: to protect attendance in the lower leagues and to prevent market saturation.

Protecting Lower League Attendance

In the UK, every Saturday 3PM game is ‘blacked out’, meaning it is not possible to watch on any platform. As lower league games kick off at 3pm on Saturdays, the blackout is intended to encourage fans to attend their local team’s match in person rather than watching Premier League football on TV.

Preventing Market Saturation

To maintain the appeal and high price for Premier League matches, the league only sells broadcasting rights for around half of its games. As a result, even some games that aren’t subject to the 3pm blackout, like those in midweek or Sunday afternoon, aren’t shown on UK TV.

Richard Scudamore, the league’s former chief executive, intended to keep the supply of televised games relatively low and demand high. As a result, the Premier League could ensure a competitive market, allowing it to charge higher prices for broadcasting rights to Sky, TNT, and Amazon.

Every legitimate Premier League streaming website attempts to detect and block VPNs as they allow users to bypass licensing agreements.

However, after extensive testing, we’ve identified a few VPNs that can bypass these restrictions, letting you watch every Premier League match from anywhere in the world.

Both NordVPN and Windscribe Free unblock Premier League matches from various live stream sites. Both can be used for free through trial periods or free subscription plans.

You can quickly compare the two best VPNs for streaming the English Premier League in the table below:

	NordVPN	Windscribe Free
No. of Premier League Websites Unblocked	4	2
Cheapest Price	$3.29	100% free
Data Cap	Unlimited bandwidth	10GB per month
International Speed (out of 100Mbps)	86Mbps	87Mbps
Customer Support	24/7 live chat	Email support

1. NordVPN: Best VPN for Streaming the Premier League

Reliably unblocks Premier League streaming sites with fast download speeds.

Pros	Cons
Works with almost all Premier League streaming sites	Blocked by TOD
Fast download speeds for HD quality live streams	No 100% free version
Dedicated apps for Firestick & Android TV	Lacks a dedicated app for routers
User-friendly interface	Smart DNS feature incompatible with EPL platforms
30-day free trial via its refund period
24/7 live chat support

NordVPN is our top-rated VPN for streaming 2023 Premier League games. It unblocks EPL streaming websites, including Setanta Sports and Peacock, in HD due to its fast connection speeds.

Even though it lacks a 100% free version, using NordVPN in conjunction with Setanta Sports to watch every Premier League match costs about £5.00 per month. This represents superb value when compared to alternatives, like accessing NOW and TNT Sports without a VPN.

Works with 80% of Premier League Streaming Sites

Out of 65 tested VPNs, NordVPN was the only VPN that could access four or more of the top five Premier League streaming sites, including Setanta Sports, DAZN Spain, Fubo Canada, and Peacock.

Other top VPNs, like CyberGhost and PIA, could only stream Peacock, and Proton VPN didn’t work with any.

TOD was the only service that NordVPN couldn’t access. To access it, you’ll have to use Windscribe Pro instead, although we found video quality to be an issue.

We’ve collected the results from twelve popular VPN services in the table below:

	Setanta Sports	TOD	DAZN Spain	Peacock	Fubo Canada
CyberGhost	No	No	No	Yes	No
ExpressVPN	No	No	Yes	Yes	No
IPVanish	No	No	No	No	No
NordVPN	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
PIA VPN	No	No	No	Yes	No
PrivadoVPN	No	No	No	Yes	No
PrivadoVPN Free	No	No	No	Yes	No
PrivateVPN	No	No	No	Yes	No
Proton VPN	No	No	No	No	No
Proton VPN Free	No	No	No	No	No
Surfshark	No	No	No	Yes	Yes
Windscribe Free	No	No	No	Yes	Yes

In addition, NordVPN’s intuitive app design makes it easy to switch servers and access a different platform. To stream content from Setanta Sports, we simply had to tap the Ukraine flag on the server list and the connection was established in under three seconds.

Fast Connection Speeds for HD Streaming

While using NordVPN to access region-restricted content, live streams always loaded instantly and displayed in maximum resolution. Using WireGuard (NordLynx), this was consistent regardless of location, with excellent performance across its server network.

You can see NordVPN’s excellent speed test results and how that translated into its streaming performance in the table below:

Server Location	EPL Streaming Site	Download Speed (baseline 100Mbps)	Resolution
US	Peacock	91Mbps	Full HD
Canada	Fubo	97Mbps	4K

With NordVPN, we always experienced at least Full HD quality, and speeds remained well above the 25Mbps requirement for 4K viewing. Plus, NordVPN’s unlimited bandwidth allows you to stream as many Premier League matches as you want.

2. Windscribe Free: Best Free VPN for Streaming the Premier League

Completely free option with significant limitations.

Pros	Cons
Compatible with Peacock and Fubo Canada	Data cap is only enough for 2 full matches
Free without requiring payment details	Doesn’t work with Setanta, TOD, or DAZN Spain
Unlimited simultaneous connections	Can’t be installed on routers
Sufficient speeds for HD streaming	Customer support is slow to respond
Easy-to-use apps

Windscribe works with more Premier League websites than any other completely free VPN. Using it, we could access Peacock and Fubo Canada with speeds fast enough for HD video.

Still, Windscribe Free’s performance falls far short of premium options, like NordVPN. The 10GB data limit per month restricts extended usage, and some of the best Premier League streaming sites, such as Setanta Sports, are inaccessible.

Free Tier Only Limited to Two Premier League Live Stream Sites

Unlike NordVPN and other paid-for VPN services, Windscribe can be used for free without providing any payment details. You just need to provide your email address to use it.

While Windscribe accessed more EPL sites than any other free VPN — Peacock and Fubo Canada — its streaming ability still compares poorly to premium alternatives. Due to its small server network, it’s not possible to get a Ukrainian, Spanish, or UAE IP address to bypass geo-restrictions on other sites.

As a result, you can’t access Setanta Sports, the cheapest Premier League streaming site. Using Windscribe Free and Peacock only saves you 10p compared to using NordVPN with Setanta Sports. Additionally, this combination covers 54% fewer matches than Setanta Sports, and Windscribe Free’s features are limited in comparison to NordVPN’s.

10GB Monthly Data Cap Is Only Enough for Two Matches

The biggest drawback of Windscribe’s free tier is that it only allows you to use 10GB of data per month. This restriction meant we could only access two full Premier League matches per month.

Disappointingly, all the free VPNs that offer unlimited bandwidth, like Proton VPN, failed to work with any Premier League streaming site. To access more than two matches in a month for free, you’ll have to use a premium VPN’s 30-day money-back guarantee instead.

After testing 65 VPNs with the five best Premier League streaming websites, 63 VPNs failed to meet or surpass our testing criteria.

As you can see in the screenshot below, even ExpressVPN, usually a reliable option for streaming, was detected and blocked by Setanta Sports.

Here are popular VPNs we tested, and the reason we don’t recommend them for streaming the Premier League:

VPN Service	Reason for Exclusion
CyberGhost	Doesn’t work with Setanta Sports, TOD, DAZN Spain & Fubo Canada No router app Smart DNS doesn’t work with Premier League streaming sites Comparatively slow international speeds
ExpressVPN	Doesn’t work with Setanta Sports, TOD & Fubo Canada Smart DNS doesn’t work with Premier League streaming sites
IPVanish	Doesn’t work with any Premier League streaming website No router app No Smart DNS feature Unintuitive app design
PrivadoVPN Free	Doesn’t work with Setanta Sports, TOD, DAZN Spain & Fubo Canada No browser extensions No router app No Smart DNS feature No live chat customer support
Private Internet Access	Doesn’t work with Setanta Sports, TOD, DAZN Spain & Fubo Canada No router app Smart DNS doesn’t work with Premier League streaming sites
Proton VPN Free	Doesn’t work with Setanta Sports, TOD, DAZN Spain & Fubo Canada No router app No Smart DNS feature
Surfshark	Doesn’t work with Setanta Sports, TOD & DAZN Spain No router app Smart DNS doesn’t work with Premier League streaming sites
