How to Watch Crystal Palace Matches Online and Abroad

Crystal Palace matches can be watched legally around the world through a mix of official club services, Premier League broadcasters and cup-rights holders. The options depend on whether you’re in the UK or abroad, and which competition Palace are playing in.​

Palace TV+ (Worldwide Club Service)

Palace’s own platform, Palace TV+, is available globally and is the best official option for live audio and club-produced video.​

• What you get:
  • Live audio commentary of every first-team league and cup game.
  • Live video of selected pre-season and academy matches, plus some friendlies.​
  • On‑demand highlights, full match replays (subject to rights), press conferences and exclusive features like “When Eagles Dare”.​
• What you don’t get:
  • Live streams of Premier League or FA Cup first‑team games, the club is not allowed to show these because central broadcast partners hold those rights.​
• How to sign up:
  • Via the official site’s Palace TV+ page, with monthly or annual packages and automatic access for certain membership tiers (e.g. International Members, some Season Ticket+ holders).​

Watching Premier League Games in the UK

Live Premier League coverage in the UK is controlled centrally.​

• Broadcasters (2024–25 cycle):
  • Sky Sports – majority of live games, including many Palace home and away fixtures.​
  • TNT Sports – all Saturday 12:30 kick‑offs plus some midweek rounds.​
  • Amazon Prime Video – selected full midweek rounds over the festive period and other dates.​
  • BBC Match of the Day – free highlights but no full live league matches.​
• 3pm blackout:
  • Saturday 3pm games cannot be shown live in the UK; if Palace are playing then, you’ll need to use live radio, audio on Palace TV+ and post-match highlights instead.​
• Practical setup:
  • TV: Sky Q/Glass or Virgin for Sky/TNT; Prime Video app on Smart TV or streaming devices.
  • Streaming: Sky Go, NOW, Discovery+ (for TNT), Prime Video on mobile/laptop.​

Watching Palace in the Premier League Abroad

Outside the UK, Premier League rights are sold region‑by‑region.​

• Examples:
  • USA: NBC Sports – games on USA Network, Peacock and occasionally NBC; streaming via Peacock and services like Fubo or Sling.​
  • Canada: FuboTV or Sportsnet (check current cycle) for live PL coverage.​
  • Australia: Stan Sport currently holds live Premier League rights.​
  • Europe: Broadcasters vary – e.g. Canal+/DAZN in France and Spain, Viaplay in Scandinavia, Sky in Germany/Italy, beIN Sports in Turkey.​

To find the exact channel in your country, use either:

• The Premier League’s official broadcaster list.​
• A scheduling site like LiveSoccerTV or WorldSoccerTalk, which maps each Palace fixture to local TV/streaming options.​

If you travel abroad and want to keep using your usual UK or home-country streaming account, many tech guides recommend a reputable VPN to securely access geo‑restricted services while you’re away. Always check the terms of service of your provider before doing so.​

FA Cup, League Cup and Europe

Non‑league competitions are usually carried by different rights holders:​

• FA Cup (global):
  • UK: BBC and ITV share live games and highlights on TV and iPlayer/ITVX.​
  • Overseas: rights split (e.g. Sportsnet in Canada, ESPN/ABC in the US, Stan or Paramount+ in some regions).​
• League Cup (EFL Cup):
  • UK: Sky Sports holds live rights.
  • Abroad: often on ESPN/DAZN/Paramount+ depending on territory.
• European competitions (e.g. UEFA tournaments):
  • UK: TNT Sports and sometimes Amazon/Prime (depending on cycle).
  • Overseas: via UEFA’s local broadcast partners – the club will usually link to the official partner list for specific fixtures.​

Palace TV+ typically adds live audio commentary plus extended highlights and full-match replays after these games, even where video rights are held elsewhere.​
