Premier League fans looking for where to watch TNT Sports’ pre-match coverage without a subscription are in luck this season. TNT Sports is making the first 30 minutes of its live Premier League broadcasts available free-to-air on YouTube, hosted by Liam MacDevitt and Olivia Buzaglo.
The dedicated pre-match preview show, EKO – Early Kick Off, will stream live on the TNT Sports YouTube channel, as well as airing on TNT Sports television channels and the HBO Max streaming service.
The new free-to-air YouTube offering debuts this Saturday starting with Manchester United’s visit to Hull.
Where to Watch ‘EKO’ & Premier League Live
Free Streaming Option: TNT Sports YouTube Channel (First 30 minutes free)
TV & Subscription Streaming: TNT Sports & HBO Max
Presenters: Liam MacDevitt or Olivia Buzaglo
Start Time: 11:00 AM (for standard 12:30 PM Saturday lunchtime kick-offs)
What to Expect from the New ‘EKO’ Format
Presented by Liam MacDevitt or Olivia Buzaglo, EKO will start at 11am and feature the early team news from the game, which is released 75 minutes before kick-off, and the pre-match thoughts of TNT’s main pundits such as Steven Gerrard and Joe Cole. The Saturday lunchtime live games kick off at 12.30pm live on TNT and HBO Max.
In another departure for TNT, EKO will be broadcast before all of their live Premier League games this season rather than just before their Saturday lunchtime kick-offs, as was the case last season. As a result, TNT’s coverage of an 8pm Saturday kick-off will begin with an EKO programme starting at 6.30pm.
The 30-minute show will have a magazine-type tone and feature discussion of wider issues rather than just the game itself, such as transfers and new players, in an attempt to broaden TNT’s match audience.
“TNT’s coverage is evolving and this will help us reach more football fans earlier in the day,” Scott Young, an executive vice-president at the parent company, Warner Bros Discovery Europe, said.
“We have a large number of loyal subscribers, but it’s also important to reach fans off-platform. I think everyone is really looking forward to the return of the Premier League, especially after the excitement generated by the World Cup.”
