From the US to China, the English Premier League is the most watched domestic football competition globally and that is no different here in Hong Kong.
Last season’s English Premier League was shown in a total of 188 of the world's 193 countries recognised by the United Nations.
Afghanistan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, North Korea and Cuba were the five countries without coverage in 2018/19, according to the EPL.
It is expected that the Premier League’s figure of reaching 978 million homes in 2017-18 will grow again over the 2019-20 season.

Here’s how you can ensure you don’t miss out on any of the action over the course of the season.
How do I watch the Premier League in Hong Kong?

Now TV has the broadcast rights for the EPL for the 2019-20 season, as it did last year, and will do so until the end of the 2021-22 campaign.
Now TV subscribers can catch the action on Now Sports Premier League TV (channel 620) and the other Now Sports Premier League channels (621-626).

This season Now TV also offers games in 4K for the first time and will broadcast 76 matches this way through the Now One set top box. The first 4K game will be Liverpool v Norwich City on the Now 4K channel (611).
Now E offers season passes (HK$1,480), monthly passes (HK$178) and day passes to watch the English Premier League and Spain’s La Liga. These can be used on five devices.

What time are Premier League games on in Hong Kong?
While BST remains in place, kick-offs in Hong Kong are seven hours ahead of the UK. This changes from October 27, when the clocks go back and the time difference will be eight hours. This reverts to seven hours again from March 29 for the final weeks of the 2019-20 season.

What bars show Premier League games in Hong Kong?
﻿You are spoiled for choice across the city’s bars for earlier kick offs (the Saturday lunchtime kick-off in the UK) but the later a night gets the more problematic it becomes to find a venue showing the game.
Licensing and opening hours mean that some bars may only show the first half of the later game on Sunday and not screen midweek games at all. However, there will always be somewhere in Wan Chai showing the match, whatever time it kicks off.

Where do the fans watch?
There are a number of official supporters club branches in Hong Kong and they often meet up to watch matches. They also tend to be associated with specific bars and pubs, for example Liverpool and Champs Bar, Manchester City and Trafalgar Brewing Co, or Spurs and Delaney’s in Wan Chai. Manchester United, Arsenal, Everton and Chelsea are among the other active supporters clubs.

What are the odds for this season?
You can bet on individual Premier League matches at the Hong Kong Jockey Club, as well as the overall winner. The favourites for this season are champions Manchester City, who are looking to win a third title on the spin.
Pep Guardiola’s side are priced at $1.27 to retain their title, with Liverpool at $2.75. Tottenham Hotspur come in third favourites to win the league at $15, then both Chelsea and Manchester United at $27 before Arsenal at $50.

What are the key dates?
The season starts on August 9 with Liverpool vs Norwich City. That game kicks off at 3am Hong Kong time on August 10 to start a full weekend of games and 380 in total over the course of the season.
This season runs until May 17 with the final round of the 38 matches, all 10 games kicking off at the same time (10pm Hong Kong time).
