How we make this list: we compare pricing pages, product documentation and public user reviews. Ratings come from G2, Capterra or Trustpilot, with the date we checked them.
Key takeaways
- No single US service covers every major league, so start with the league you watch most and add a second service only if your club plays in Europe.
- Peacock is the clearest pick for Premier League fans, while Paramount+ covers the UEFA club competitions and Serie A in one subscription.
- ESPN Select covers LaLiga and the Bundesliga together, which makes it good value for fans of Spanish and German football.
- Live TV bundles such as Fubo and YouTube TV cost far more, but they are the practical route when you also want matches shown on linear channels.
- Check blackout rules and Spanish language coverage before you pay, because the same match can sit on a different service depending on language and channel.

The best soccer streaming service
Starting price$10.99 per month

Peacock is the first subscription to consider if the Premier League is your main league. It streams a large portion of the season live, and it is priced below most live TV bundles, which keeps the monthly cost easy to justify for a single league fan. The app also gives you Spanish language streams for many matches, a useful option for bilingual households.
The catch is scope. Peacock will not cover your Champions League nights, and it will not help much with Serie A or Ligue 1. If you follow one Premier League club, check how many of its matches are exclusive to Peacock and how many sit on NBC or USA Network, because that split decides whether you also need a live TV option.
What we like- Large share of live Premier League matches
- Spanish language coverage for many matches
- Also carries other sports and entertainment
Watch out for- Does not cover UEFA club competitions
- Some marquee Premier League matches air on NBC or USA Network instead
Starting price$8.99 per month
Free planFree trial (7 days)
Paramount+ earns its place for midweek European football. The UEFA club competitions are its main draw, and Serie A coverage in the same subscription means an Italian football fan gets a full season without a second soccer service. The trial period gives you time to check stream quality on your devices before you commit.
The trade off is that Paramount+ is not a Premier League service. Fans who want both English and European football will need to pair it with Peacock or a live TV bundle. Also, read the plan details closely, because ad free viewing and extra features sit on the higher priced tier.
What we like- UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Conference League coverage
- All 380 Serie A matches in the season
- NWSL matches included
Watch out for- Limited Premier League coverage
- The lower priced plan includes ads on much of the wider catalog
Starting price$12.99 per month
Free planNo
ESPN Select, formerly ESPN+, is the simplest route to Spanish and German football in the US. One subscription covers both LaLiga and the Bundesliga, so a fan who follows clubs in both countries does not need two services. Cup matches and lower league coverage add depth for viewers who like more than the top flight.
What it lacks matters just as much. You will not find the Premier League or the Champions League here, so do not buy it expecting full European coverage. If you also want ESPN linear channels for matches shown there, the price rises sharply, and that is where a live TV bundle starts to make more sense.
What we like- Every LaLiga match and every Bundesliga match in the US
- FA Cup and other cup coverage
- Strong archive of soccer documentaries and studio shows
Watch out for- No Premier League or UEFA Champions League rights
- The higher priced ESPN Unlimited tier is needed for linear ESPN channels

Best for: Fans who want many channels in one place1.4/5 on
Trustpilot (59 reviews, checked Oct 2026)

Free planFree trial (7 days)
Fubo suits the household that watches soccer plus other sports and general TV. It pulls together channels that show Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and other competitions, depending on the package, so you spend less time switching apps on match day. Cloud DVR helps when kickoff times clash or when you work during a live match.
The cost is the honest catch. Fubo is priced like a cable replacement, not like a single sport app, so it only makes sense if you use the wider channel lineup. Confirm the exact channels in your ZIP code before subscribing, because lineup details and fees vary by location.
What we like- Wide channel lineup covering many leagues and sports
- Cloud DVR for recording matches
- BeIN Sports access in relevant packages
Watch out for- Monthly price is far above a single league service
- Regional sports fees can raise the total
- Some channels vary by package and location
Starting price$82.99 per month
Free planFree trial
YouTube TV works well as a general cable replacement that also happens to cover a lot of soccer. Matches shown on ESPN, Fox, CBS, NBC, FS1 and USA Network are in reach, and unlimited DVR storage means you can record several matches at once. The interface is clean, and sharing the subscription across a household is straightforward.
For a soccer only viewer, the price is hard to justify. You are paying for a full TV package, and you may still need Peacock, Paramount+ or ESPN Select for matches that stream only on those apps. Use YouTube TV when the household wants live TV in general, not when soccer is the only reason to subscribe.
What we like- Broad lineup of ESPN, Fox, CBS, NBC and other channels
- Unlimited DVR storage
- Easy to use across phones, TVs and tablets
Watch out for- High monthly price for soccer alone
- Does not include every soccer specific service
- Add on costs can raise the bill

Free planNo
Sling TV is the budget minded live TV option in this list. It does not try to match the full lineup of larger bundles, but it gives you access to channels that carry select Premier League and international matches. Sports add on packs can fill gaps, though each add on raises the monthly total.
The weakness is coverage gaps. Many matches will still sit on Peacock, Paramount+ or ESPN Select, so Sling works best as a gap filler rather than a complete soccer solution. Check the Blue plan channel list for your area and count how many of your club's televised matches it actually covers before you sign up.
What we like- Lower entry price than most live TV bundles
- Blue plan includes USA Network and FS1 for select matches
- Add on packs let you tailor sports channels
Watch out for- Channel lineup is thinner than Fubo or YouTube TV
- Soccer coverage depends heavily on which channels show a given match
- DVR storage is limited on the base plan
Starting price$14.99 per month
Free planNo
MLS Season Pass on Apple TV is the cleanest option in this list for one simple reason: it covers a whole league. Every MLS match is available without hunting across channels, and there are no local blackouts to work around. That single league focus is rare in US soccer rights, and it makes planning a season easy.
The limit is equally clear. If you also follow European football, MLS Season Pass adds nothing there, so it becomes a second or third subscription rather than a replacement. Apple TV+ subscribers pay a lower monthly rate, so check whether you already pay for Apple TV+ before you choose the standalone price.
What we like- Every MLS regular season and playoff match in one place
- No local blackouts for MLS matches
- Also includes Leagues Cup and MLS Next Pro coverage in the pass
Watch out for- Covers MLS only, so it does not help with European leagues
- A separate Apple TV+ subscription lowers the price but adds another bill

Fanatiz
Best for: Fans of South American and beIN Sports coverage
Visit fanatiz.com
Starting priceSee website
Free planFree trial (7 days)
Fanatiz fills a gap that the bigger services leave open. Through beIN Sports, it gives US viewers a route to Ligue 1 and other competitions that are easy to miss elsewhere, and its South American coverage suits fans who follow clubs and national teams from that region. For a fan with roots in South America or France, this can matter more than another Premier League option.
Fanatiz is a specialist service, not a general soccer bundle. It will not cover the Premier League or the Champions League on its own, so treat it as an addition for specific leagues. Use the trial to test the channels you care about, and confirm the current beIN Sports lineup before you pay for a full season.
What we like- BeIN Sports channels for Ligue 1 and other competitions
- South American league and cup coverage
- Spanish language options for many matches
Watch out for- Smaller audience for some leagues in the US
- App and stream quality can vary by device
- Does not replace the main Premier League or UEFA services
How we chose
We compared US rights holders and streaming services using vendor pricing pages, help pages, and public reviews on G2, Capterra and Reddit, plus the league coverage each service lists for the current season. We favored services that are available today in the US, that carry at least one major league or a broad live TV lineup, and that publish clear pricing or trial terms. Services were left out when their soccer coverage was too thin, when rights had moved to another provider, or when pricing could not be confirmed from a current source.
Picking the right service for your leagues
Start by listing the leagues and clubs you actually watch each week, not the leagues you might watch one day. A Premier League only fan can stop at Peacock plus a live TV option for televised matches, while a fan of LaLiga and the Bundesliga can stop at ESPN Select. A Champions League fan needs Paramount+ first, and a fan of several leagues should price a two service combination before jumping to a full live TV bundle.
Count the matches, not the channels
A service with 100 channels is not better than a service with your league if you only watch 20 matches a season. Look at the fixture list for your club, note which service carries each match, and add up the monthly cost of the services you truly need. That simple count often shows that two focused subscriptions cost less than one large bundle.
Check devices, blackouts and language
Confirm the app works well on the TV you use most, because phone quality does not predict TV quality. Check blackout rules for your local teams, and check whether Spanish language streams are included, since language rights are sold separately for some leagues. A short trial, where offered, is the fastest way to settle both questions.
Plan for the off season
Most soccer subscriptions are monthly, so you can pause during the summer break and restart when your league returns. Set a calendar reminder for the first match week, and cancel services you did not open in the last month. That habit keeps a three service stack from quietly becoming a year round bill.
Frequently asked questions
Which streaming service is best for soccer in the US?
There is no single best service for every fan, because US rights are split by league. Peacock leads for the Premier League, Paramount+ leads for UEFA competitions and Serie A, and ESPN Select leads for LaLiga and the Bundesliga. Pick the service that covers the league you watch most, then add a second only if needed.
Can I watch every soccer league with one subscription?
No, not in the US at the time of writing. No single subscription covers the Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, MLS and the UEFA competitions together. A combination of two or three focused services, or a live TV bundle plus one or two apps, is the usual route to broad coverage.
What is the cheapest way to watch soccer?
The cheapest useful route is usually one focused service for your main league, such as Peacock for the Premier League or ESPN Select for LaLiga and the Bundesliga. Free options are limited to select matches on free channels and apps, and they do not cover full seasons. Compare the monthly cost against how many matches you will actually watch.
Do I need cable to watch soccer on TV?
No, you do not need cable. Most services in this list work on smart TVs, streaming sticks, phones and tablets, and live TV bundles such as Fubo and YouTube TV replace cable entirely. You may still need a live TV bundle for matches that air only on linear channels such as NBC, USA Network or FS1.
Is MLS Season Pass worth it if I already have Apple TV+?
It can be, if MLS is a league you follow week to week. Apple TV+ subscribers pay a lower monthly rate for MLS Season Pass, and the pass covers every MLS match without local blackouts. If you watch MLS only a few times a season, a month by month subscription during the busy part of the season may cost less than a full season.
Which service is best for Spanish language soccer coverage?
Peacock, ESPN Select, Paramount+ and Fanatiz all offer Spanish language streams for many matches, but coverage varies by league and match. Peacock is strong for Premier League matches in Spanish, ESPN Select covers LaLiga in Spanish, and Fanatiz suits fans who prefer Spanish language beIN Sports coverage. Check the language options for your specific league before subscribing.
