How to get the best value for watching the end of the Premier League and Champions League seasons in the UK
With televised football spread across so many streaming services and platforms these days, it’s really easy to spend a shedload of money just to watch the select games you care about.
And with the season drawing to a close, there’s about to be a bunch of matches you won’t want to miss.
So FourFourTwo is always on the lookout for a good deal – or just the best time to sort out a subscription to get the maximum value out of a service.
That’s why we think this week is best time to get a BT Sport Monthly Pass (opens in new tab) for UK viewers, if you don’t already have a subscription.
The pass costs £29.99 and is not a contract, so you can easily pay once to get access for 30 days, keeping your spending down.
And because of BT Sport’s upcoming schedule, now is the time to do it.
If you’re looking for how to watch the Premier League, there’s a full matchweek of 10 Premier League games on the service this midweek, plus a further five matches over the next four weeks.
BT Sport also has exclusive rights in the UK to show the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League, and all of those competitions’ two-legged semi-finals take place in the next month, giving you another 12 possible matches to watch.
Don’t worry about catching the finals, though – while they range from May 31 to June 10, we expect BT Sport to make them free-to-air events as they have done in the past.
There will also be selected games from the final weeks of Italy’s Serie A and France’s Ligue 1 on the platform, as well as Spain’s Copa del Rey final and the National League play-offs.
Here’s a selection of what you’ll be able to watch if you pick one up this week.
