As has become the norm in recent years, the main objective for most clubs is to work out how to stop Pep Guardiola, Erling Haaland and Manchester City from winning yet another EPL title. The Citizens' dominance on England's domestic game has taken a bit of the drama out of title races, sealing six of the last seven championships — a staggering achievement, unmatched even by those great Alex Ferguson-led United sides or Bob Paisley era Liverpool teams of yesteryear.
Having started on hot form, with the Norse giant notching up hattricks for fun, it's hard to imagine who might stop the dominant side from Manchester — especially as it's looking like the red team and Erik ten Hag look to be facing down the barrel of another season of turmoil.
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal have started the season well and brought in some smart signings. The runners-up in the last two campaigns still look like the team most likely to challenge the City monopoly. And the fresh faces in the dugouts of Liverpool and Chelsea will hope to ride the new manager bounce as far as possible, although that seems to have come to a crashing halt. Aston Villa and Newcastle United will also be eager to improve on the promise of recent years.
New boys Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton, will be battling things out with the likes of Brentford, Nottingham Forest and Fulham at the other end of the table to retain their top flight status and live to fight another day. While Everton fans should be rightfully worried that their 122-year top flight tenure may finally come to an end.
Ready for another ride on the Premier League rollercoaster? Here's how to watch Premier League 2024/25 football from anywhere in the world, with all the information you need below.
How to watch Premier League 2024/25 in the UK
Premier League football has been on pay TV in the UK since its inception in 1992. 200 games are shown per season (with all Saturday 3pm UK kick-offs still excluded) and, to catch as many games as possible, you'll need a grand total of three subscriptions.
The majority of games (128) are shown on Sky Sports on top of a regular Sky base package — at the time of writing, prices start from £46 a month, although they do fluctuate a little up and down.
A cheaper, more flexible option is signing up to a rolling Now Sports Membership for £34.99 per month, which lets you access all Sky Sports channels just without the non-sporting entertainment that Sky offers, too.
Another 52 matches will be shown on TNT Sports (formerly BT Sports), which you can view as a TV package or as an online streamer. It costs £30.99 a month either way and includes the Discovery Plus library of factual content if you opt for the online option.
Last but not least there's Amazon's online streaming service Prime Video showing 20 games — usually around the busy Christmas period. £8.99 per month or £95 per year pays for an Amazon Prime subscription to watch these and also gets you all the other Prime perks such as free delivery, exclusive discounts and Amazon Music.
BBC's flagship highlights show Match of the Day carries extensive coverage and analysis of all matches later on in the day their played. That's free to watch on BBC TV or the online iPlayer, assuming you have a UK TV licence.
How to watch Premier League 2024/25 in the US
Unlike in the UK, you can watch every single game of EPL soccer if you live in the US.
NBC's dedicated online platform Peacock streams all Premier League matches for the cost of only $7.99 per month / $79.99 a year. Most go out live.
If you want to watch on TV, you'll find several Premier League games per matchday shown on NBC, CNBC and USA. It's worth noting, however, that games slated for CNBC and USA won't go out live simultaneously on Peacock — you'll have to wait until the following day to watch them on the online service.
If you don't have access to those NBC channels through cable or your antenna, then you can access them through a live TV streaming service that has them in its line-up.
For example, Sling TV's Blue plan, which costs from $40 per month, includes NBC and USA in select markets (check here whether yours is included). DirecTV from $79.99 a month and Fubo from $79.99 per month are other OTT options that include NBC stations.

How to watch Premier League from anywhere with a VPN
If you're going to be away from your normal TV setup but still want to watch live cricket, you might run into some problems as your normal stream will almost certainly be geo-blocked. Thankfully, you can solve this exact issue with a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
A VPN lets you change your IP address to that of the area of what you want to watch, meaning you can tune in to cricket, your favorite sports and other content even if you're not there. Our favorite is NordVPN, which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar.
