Final Thoughts…

The Premier League offers over 100 matches that keep viewers entertained for two months or more. With COVID-19 lockdown measures, fans are unable to watch the games in person.

As such, sports fans are relying on streaming services and TV channels for the action. If you are looking for cheaper alternatives to Sky Sports, we recommend Now TV, BT Sport, Amazon Prime Video and EuroSport.

These services offer up to 30-day free trial and affordable plans. You can also watch them on the go on your smartphone or tablet which allows you to watch live sports on a budget.
