Watching live football in Singapore doesn't have to cost much — and now that the World Cup is over, the question is mostly about the Premier League, the sports bars and what Mediacorp puts on free. Here's every route, sorted by cost.
> Quick version: the Premier League 2026/27 kicks off Fri 21 Aug 2026 (Arsenal v Coventry City, opening round 21-23 Aug) and lives on StarHub TV+ / Premier League+ (from $25.46/mth); Channel 5 + mewatch stay free for the big tournaments; Harry's and Boomarang cover the bar option all year.

A few tips
- The EPL is a StarHub thing now — from 2026/27, StarHub carries all 380 matches; the contract-free plan needs no set-top box
- Check your existing StarHub services first — the plan is $25.46/mth with a StarHub mobile, broadband or TV+ service versus $40.74/mth without
- Under 26, or Pioneer Generation? Both tiers start from $12.73/mth — worth asking about before you take the standard plan
- Do the maths on the annual pass — $238 for a season works out under $20/month if you watch most weeks; the customer price needs a StarHub service plan of at least $15/month
- Only watching a few matches? A Premier League+ day pass is $16 on mobile — cheaper than a month's subscription if you turn up twice a season
- Book bars ahead for derbies, knockout ties and finals, and expect a per-person minimum spend
- Free public screenings are tournament-only — they return for the next major competition, not for a normal league weekend
