Following the latest announcement on the costs to tune into Premier League games, Ru Bhikha, TV expert at Uswitch.com, comments: 

“This move by the Premier League is far from an ideal solution, but it at least means that supporters don’t have to miss out on seeing their team in action.

“While it may feel galling for some fans to have to pay £14.95 a match to watch a game from their living room, many supporters will be used to paying much more to see their team on matchday, with the average Premier League ticket costing £32 in the 2019/20 season[1].

“BT Sport, Virgin Media and Sky TV customers will be in the best position to watch these pay-per-view matches as they have direct access to box office channels. Casual fans can download the Sky Sports Box Office app for one-off access.”
