Which Premier League games can you watch in a pub?
In the UK, live Premier League games are broadcast on Sky Sports and TNT Sports. Saturday 3pm kick-offs aren't broadcast live in the UK, so no pub can legally show them. Look out for the Saturday lunchtime and evening games, Sunday afternoons, and Monday and midweek nights.
Keep an eye on our what's on page for what's coming up.

Football in Hackney beyond the screen
Hackney is a proper football borough, even without a league club of its own.
Stanchion Books, Broadway Market: a football bookshop stall run by a mate of ours, on Broadway Market on Saturdays. It has new and secondhand football books from around the world, fanzines and vintage scarves. Pick something up on the walk over, 5 minutes from us. Stanchion also runs the London Football Book Market.
Hackney Marshes: the home of Sunday league football, with dozens of pitches by the River Lea. Play in the morning, then watch the pros in the afternoon.
Leyton Orient: the nearest EFL club, a short trip east in Leyton, for anyone who wants live football on a Saturday at 3pm.
Planning a big match with mates?
Book a table or a section of the sports arch for derbies, title deciders and cup finals. See our guide to group bookings near London Fields, the best sports bars in Hackney and our NFL Sundays guide.
