How to Watch the Premier League 2026-27 in Germany

To watch the Premier League in Germany in 2026-27: Sky Deutschland holds the exclusive rights to all 380 matches per season. Stream them without a satellite dish via WOW (Sky's contract-free streaming service) from €29.99/month on a 12-month Live-Sport plan, or €44.99/month month-to-month. Every fixture is on Sky — there is no free-to-air live coverage, and no second broadcaster to split your subscription across.

In Germany (and Austria), the Premier League is exclusive to Sky Deutschland, which broadcasts all 380 matches of every season live. Unlike the UK — where the rights are split between Sky and TNT — the German market has no fragmentation: one broadcaster shows every single Premier League fixture. This position was just reinforced. In May 2026, Sky Deutschland extended its Premier League rights for a further three seasons, through to the end of the 2030-31 season. So a German fan committing to Sky or WOW for the Premier League can do so knowing the competition stays on the platform for years — no looming rights move to worry about, unlike the Champions League which leaves DAZN after 2026-27. Sky carries the matches across its Sky Sport channel family — Sky Sport Premier League, Sky Sport Top Event, the numbered Sky Sport channels and Sky Sport UHD — with German-language commentary, and the full slate is mirrored on the WOW streaming service.

You do not need a Sky satellite dish or a long Sky box contract to watch the Premier League in Germany. WOW (Sky's own contract-free streaming brand, formerly Sky Ticket) carries the full Sky Sport package, including every Premier League match. The WOW Live-Sport plan costs €29.99/month on a 12-month term (after which it renews at the standard rate), or €44.99/month month-to-month with no commitment and cancel-anytime flexibility. WOW periodically discounts the entry rate through promotional offers, and entry-level access can start from around €24.99/month on certain plans — so it is worth checking the current offer before subscribing at the standard rate. WOW streams on smart TVs, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, games consoles, mobile and the web. For Premier League access alone, WOW is the cheaper and more flexible route than a full Sky Q box subscription, which makes more sense for households wanting the channels bundled with broadband and entertainment.

No. There is no free-to-air live Premier League coverage in Germany. Unlike major-tournament football that sometimes appears on ARD or ZDF, the Premier League is sold as an exclusive pay-TV product, and Sky Deutschland holds it outright. No German free-to-air channel shows live Premier League matches. German free-to-air channels and sports news programmes carry highlights, results and analysis, and the Sky and Premier League official channels publish clips after matches — but a full live match is not available free in Germany. The closest to a low-cost route is the WOW month-to-month plan taken for a specific run of fixtures, or an entry-level promotional WOW offer. Because one broadcaster holds everything, the German market is actually simpler than the UK: there is no second subscription to add for full coverage, and no blackout window — every match Sky chooses to broadcast is available to a WOW or Sky subscriber.

Germany is one hour ahead of the UK (CET vs GMT), so Premier League kickoff times shift forward by an hour for German viewers. The Saturday 12:30pm UK early kickoff is 13:30 in Germany; the 3:00pm UK Saturday block is 16:00; the 5:30pm UK evening match is 18:30. Sunday's 2:00pm and 4:30pm UK fixtures are 15:00 and 17:30 in Germany, and the Friday and Monday 8:00pm UK night games are 21:00. These are civilised viewing times across the board — Saturday afternoon and evening, Sunday afternoon, weeknight prime time — which is part of why the Premier League has such a large following in Germany. Sky's German coverage often runs a multi-match conference and dedicated build-up shows around the Saturday slate. Midweek rounds air on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings German time, typically from 20:30 and 21:15. The Boxing Day and New Year programme — distinctive to English football — gives German fans a full slate of matches over the holiday period when most other European leagues are on a winter break.

Because Sky Deutschland holds every match, following the entire Premier League in Germany needs just one subscription — no second service, no top-up. The cheapest full-season route is the WOW Live-Sport 12-month plan at €29.99/month, which across the roughly ten active months of the season works out around €300 for complete coverage of all 380 matches. If you want flexibility — say, to subscribe only for the run-in or to pause over the summer — the month-to-month WOW plan at €44.99/month lets you cancel anytime; taking it for, say, four key months would cost around €180. Promotional entry offers can lower the first-term rate further. The budget approach: watch free highlights on German sports programmes through the season, then take a single month of month-to-month WOW around a decisive run of fixtures (a title race, a relegation battle, your club's big games). Since there is no second broadcaster and no blackout, one WOW month genuinely unlocks every match in that window — the German market's single-broadcaster structure makes occasional viewing simpler and cheaper than in the split UK market.
