How to watch Premier League on TV tonight: Live stream schedule and kick-off times

There are three Premier League midweek games on Thursday night - but there is bad news for UK viewers.

Watford face Crystal Palace at 7:30pm, with Burnley hosting Tottenham at the same time. Liverpool host Leeds United in a 7:45pm kick-off which was originally down to be shown live on BT Sport.

All three games are rescheduled fixtures from the winter period, when Covid-19 outbreaks forced several teams postponements in the Premier League.

As a result, an agreement was reached between UEFA to allow Premier League fixtures to be held on the same night as Champions League fixtures - something which European football's governing body had previously not allowed.

But there is a stipulation that games cannot not kick off at the same time as Champions League fixtures, nor can they be shown live in the same country.

This is why Liverpool - who are still in the Champions League - kick off at an earlier time of 7:45pm, ahead of the 8pm European fixtures which are Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United and Benfica vs Ajax.

BT Sport have an exclusive deal to show every Champions League game in the UK and will therefore will broadcast the two round of 16 ties instead of a domestic fixture.

Neither Watford vs Crystal Palace nor Burnley vs Tottenham were initially picked for live TV coverage and are therefore not available to watch on BT Sport, Sky Sports or Amazon Prime for UK viewers.

Fans abroad may still be able to watch and live stream Thursday's matches depending on where they live.
