be turning to illegal streaming due to the ever-rising cost of watching live football.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, <a

competitions.<\/p>\n<p>This is only expected to push the cost even higher once any new deals are announced.<\/p>\n<p>In both the UK and the US, numerous different subscriptions are required to watch football.<\/p>\n<p>The Premier League, Champions League and various other competitions are spread across countless different services.<\/p>\n<p>However, UK fans are paying significantly more than

paid for, UK fans are already at a disadvantage.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK, watching live programming requires a TV license, which costs \u00a3174.50 annually.<\/p>\n<p>Not paying for the license can incur a fine of up to \u00a31,000 if you are caught watching live TV without it.<\/p>\n<h2>Cost Of Watching Football In UK Vs US<\/h2>\n<p>In the UK, Sky Sports is the primary rights holder for the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>Sky will show at least 215 matches in 2025-26, up from 128 last season.<\/p>\n<p>A monthly subscription to Sky TV is \u00a325 per month, with a further \u00a325 to add on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n<p>UK fans are therefore already at \u00a365 per month, just to watch the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>But to watch a further 52 Premier League fixtures shown on TNT Sports, you&#8217;ll need to shell out another \u00a330.99 per month.<\/p>\n<p>TNT does also show the majority of European fixtures, such as the Champions League and Europa League.<\/p>\n<p>But not all of them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1454\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1454\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium
