How to stream the rest of the 2020 English Premier League soccer if you've cut the cord

Liverpool will finish things in first after the COVID-19 break, but there's still work to be done.

The 2019-2020 Premier League season didn't go quite the way anyone hoped. Not the way Liverpool hoped — it's all but clinched the title but had to wait until the shutdown ended to make things official. And even then, their championship will certainly come with a COVID-shaped asterisk. And it hasn't gone the way any of the teams battling it out on the rest of the tables could have imagined.

And absolutely nobody would have predicted we'd see entire teams with "Black Lives Matter" in place of their names on their jerseys kneel before the match. (The refs participated in the gesture, too.)

Games got underway again on June 17. But there were no fans in the stands, no handshakes or hugs.

That doesn't make the games meaningless, though. Quite the contrary. We're in a new world in which nothing is certain and everything is subject to change.

But sport remains.

And so as we finish up a completely unconventional English Premier League season, here's a reminder on how you can watch just about ever game from the safety and security of your one home. (Or on your phone or wherever.)

How to stream English Premier League

English Premier League broadcasts in the U.S. exclusively on NBC Universal networks. Matches will be covered live on five networks; NBC, NBCSN, CNBC, Telemundo and Universo. While they won't cover every game played, these networks will have wide coverage, with over 40 games in just the first two months of play.

Games on Telemundo and Universo will be broadcast in Spanish, providing access to some of the sport's most passionate fans. Those games are also primarily simulcast on the other channels in English, so you can choose between the broadcasts.

The best way to select the perfect live streaming service as a proper EPL fan is finding one with a plan that includes all of these networks, and supports login to the NBC Sports app. Time to take a look at how the options stack up.
