How to follow the Premier League on BBC this weekend
Our Ask Me Anything team explains how to catch week five Premier League matches on BBC. Find out where to watch live games and highlights.
The Premier League is back on BBC this weekend for week five of the season, and the Ask Me Anything team has put together a handy guide on how to follow the action.
Live matches will be shown on BBC One and BBC Two, with the most high‑profile games usually on the flagship channel. If you miss a live broadcast, you can catch the match later on BBC iPlayer, which streams the full game and replays the highlights.
BBC iPlayer also offers a selection of highlights and post‑match analysis, so you can stay up to date even if you’re not able to watch the whole game live.
The coverage includes commentary from well‑known presenters, and the BBC’s sports department provides detailed commentary and insights throughout the matches.
After the weekend’s games, the BBC will continue to cover the Premier League next week, so keep an eye on the schedule for the next set of fixtures.
