The English Premier League has started a new season, and there a few ways to keep up with the new season’s action. The games will be live streamed a numer of place, including Peacock as well as DirecTV Stream and fuboTV. A couple offer free trials.
It’s the world’s richest soccer league, and the rest of Europe looks for ways to catch up.
Off the field, the English Premier League is a commercial juggernaut with broadcasting deals worldwide fueling player transfers and wages most others cannot match. It helps explain why some clubs created the Super League project.

League riches helped English champion Manchester City make the marquee summer signing. Erling Haaland’s arrival from Borussia Dortmund cost City more than 100 million pounds ($122 million) in transfer and agent fees.
While Haaland was a boyhood City fan whose father played there, he was also lured to a competitive league that avoids the one-club dominance recently seen in Germany, Italy and France.
On the field, five different teams have won the Premier League in the past 10 seasons, including Leicester’s stunning 2016 title. Though City has four of the past five titles, two were epic duels with Liverpool.
The Champions League is also feeling Premier League power with four different teams in the past four finals, including two all-English games. Liverpool was in three of the past five finals while winning just one Premier League title.
Those same four teams — City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham — are England’s entry in the Champions League this season.
Manchester United and Arsenal qualified only for the second-tier Europa League and are by far the wealthiest clubs in it.
