Premier League Launches Direct-to-Fan Streaming Service in Singapore

The Premier League has launched its new direct-to-fan streaming platform, Premier League +, in Singapore, giving supporters access to all 380 matches of the season alongside a range of enhanced viewing features and exclusive content.

Developed in partnership with long-term broadcast partner StarHub, Premier League + is designed to complement StarHub's existing Premier League coverage while providing fans with greater flexibility in how they watch the competition.

Subscribers will be able to personalise their viewing experience through features including multi-camera viewing, live data overlays and dedicated club hubs. The service will also offer a 24/7 channel produced by Premier League Studios, featuring live football, extended highlights, studio programmes, documentaries, magazine shows and Premier League Originals.

The platform will provide more than live match coverage, with subscribers gaining access to full-match replays, archive fixtures, highlights, preview and review programmes, as well as a wide selection of on-demand content.

All live Premier League matches will be available in 1080p Full HD, while selected matches each matchweek will also be offered in 4K on compatible devices.

Fans will get their first opportunity to use Premier League + during the FA Community Shield on Sunday, 16 August, when Premier League champions Arsenal face Emirates FA Cup winners Manchester City at 22:00 Singapore time.

The first Premier League fixture available through the service will see Arsenal host EFL Championship winners Coventry City on Friday, 21 August, with kick-off scheduled for 03:00 SGT on Saturday, 22 August.

The launch has been closely coordinated with StarHub, allowing existing StarHub customers to access the Premier League + experience. StarHub subscribers will continue to receive live coverage of the Premier League, Emirates FA Cup and FA Community Shield through their existing subscriptions.

Premier League Chief Media Officer Paul Molnar said Singapore's passionate fanbase made the country an ideal location to introduce the new service.

"Today marks an exciting moment as we launch Premier League + in Singapore, giving fans in the country a new and enhanced way to experience the Premier League."

Molnar added that the partnership with StarHub would give supporters "more ways than ever to connect with the competition they love."

Premier League + is currently available exclusively in Singapore and offers several subscription options, including 24-hour, monthly and annual passes.

The launch represents another step in the Premier League's expansion of direct-to-consumer digital services, giving supporters greater control over how they consume live football and league content.
