Premier League live stream: how to watch the football online from anywhere

In case you hadn't heard...the Premier League is back! In fact, it's like it's never been away and it's amazing how we slip into the same old weekly habits - picking our Fantasy line-up on a Friday, tuning into the full times on Saturday afternoon and then sitting back for live action on Sunday. Well, we're here to make sure you've got a way of getting a live stream of every single game of this year's Premier League.

Having comfortably cruised to the title last season, Manchester City will be the team to beat once again. Though big-spending Liverpool could provide a fierce challenge at the top of the table with their string of reinforcements.

Bolstered by Brazilian signing Fred, Manchester United will be seeking revenge on their city rivals, while the heavyweight London trio of Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal should also be in the title shake-up – the latter two beginning exciting new eras after managerial changes. 

At the other end of the table, smart recruitment from newly-promoted Fulham and Wolves may lift them clear of a relegation dogfight, though fellow new-boys Cardiff will need to pull off a shock if they're to avoid an immediate return to the Championship. 

Whatever happens, we're here to help you catch all the games via a live stream wherever you are in the world, legally and for FREE. Football's back and in the words of your favourite player's Twitter account, we go again.
