The English Premier League is the most-watched football competition in Bangladesh. Manchester United and Liverpool fan clubs run in nearly every district; Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester City have strong followings too. Watching the EPL legally from Bangladesh is straightforward — Sony holds the regional rights — but the options aren’t well-publicised. Here’s the complete 2026 guide.
Who broadcasts the EPL in Bangladesh?
Sony Pictures Networks India holds the South Asian broadcasting rights for the Premier League, which covers Bangladesh. That means two outlets:
- Sony Ten 2 / Sony Ten 5 — TV channels available through cable
- SonyLIV — streaming app and website
There is no other legal live option in Bangladesh.
Option 1 — Sony Ten on Cable
Most cable operators in Bangladesh include Sony Ten 2 and Sony Ten 5 in their standard packages. If you already pay for cable, you’re already paying for EPL.
What you get
- Every Saturday and Sunday match
- Monday Night Football
- Pre-match shows and post-match analysis
- English commentary (no Bangla on cable)
What it costs
Already-paid cable subscription. No add-on. If your operator doesn’t carry Sony Ten, switch — most major operators in Dhaka, Chittagong, and Sylhet offer it.
Option 2 — SonyLIV (Streaming)
SonyLIV is the streaming version of Sony Ten. Same matches, same commentary, but on your phone, laptop, or smart TV.
What you get
- Every EPL match live
- Up to 1080p quality on Premium
- 2 concurrent streams
- On-demand replays for 7 days after the match
What it costs
BDT ~350/month for Premium. Pay via international card. Not bKash/Nagad-friendly natively.

Option 3 — Free Highlights (Legal)
The official Premier League YouTube channel posts match highlights within 24 hours of every game. Not live, but a no-cost way to follow the season. Combine with a sports news app for live score updates.
Option 4 — Illegal Streams (Don’t)
BD-targeted illegal streaming sites exist — they’re cheap, often Telegram-based, and visually identical to a legitimate stream. Don’t use them. Three reasons:
- Quality is unreliable — streams die during big matches
- Malware risk via redirects and intrusive ads
- Sony will eventually crack down; you’ll lose access mid-season

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Premier League free in Bangladesh?
Live coverage is not free. Sony Ten on cable is included with most cable packages — no extra cost if you already have cable. Streaming via SonyLIV requires a subscription. Free highlights are available on YouTube within 24 hours of each match.
What channel shows the EPL in Bangladesh?
Sony Ten 2 carries the marquee weekend matches. Sony Ten 5 covers overflow and weekday fixtures. Both are part of the standard Sony Ten cable bundle.
How much does SonyLIV cost in Bangladesh?
SonyLIV Premium runs roughly BDT 350 per month, depending on the exchange rate and reseller. The annual plan offers a discount.
Can I watch the EPL on Hotstar in Bangladesh?
No. Hotstar (now JioHotstar) doesn’t carry EPL rights — Sony does. JioHotstar covers IPL, F1, and selected ICC tournaments.
Is there a Bangla commentary option for the EPL?
Not on Sony Ten or SonyLIV — both use English commentary. Some Bangladeshi YouTubers post Bangla post-match analysis, but live Bangla EPL commentary doesn’t exist.
