The world’s most popular club football competition, ⁠the English Premier League, is set to launch its own direct-to-consumer ‌streaming service in Singapore this year, with plans ‌for potential expansion to other ‌countries, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.

Speaking ‌at the FT Business of Football ‌Summit in London, Premier League CEO Richard Masters said the new service, called ‌Premier League +, would be available ⁠for the ‌2026-2027 season, according to the report.

The service ​has been developed in partnership with StarHub, the league's broadcast ​partner in Singapore, FT said.

While English Premier League matches are currently available on ⁠various streaming ​platforms through broadcast partners, this could be the first time the league offers its own direct-to-consumer service.

Masters said traditional ‌deals with broadcasters such as Sky Sports in the UK would remain "the bedrock" of the league's media business, but noted that owning and controlling its own platform provided future "optionality" in certain markets, according to FT.

"We're looking to learn how that might ‌be replicated around the world," the ​report quoted Masters as saying.
