Premier League games on TV for final day – Channels, live stream, clubs who can get Europe

Another Premier League season reaches its climax on Sunday, with all 10 matches set to kick off simultaneously at 4pm. Although Liverpool have long since secured the crown, there's still much at stake in the final 90 minutes of this unforgettable season.

Arsenal are virtually assured of a second-place finish as they head to already-relegated Southampton. The fate of the bottom three is also decided, with Ipswich Town and Leicester City joining Southampton in their descent to the Championship. However, the battle for European qualification remains fiercely contested going into the final day, with just three points separating third-placed Manchester City from Nottingham Forest in seventh. The top five will automatically qualify for the Champions League, while the sixth spot (currently held by Aston Villa) leads to the Europa League and seventh (currently occupied by Nottingham Forest) grants entry to the Conference League play-off round.

Beyond that, Europa League champions Tottenham and FA Cup winners Crystal Palace have already secured their places in the Champions League and Europa League, respectively. But even Brighton in eighth and Brentford in ninth still harbour hopes of securing European football next season.

Which Premier League matches are on TV and on which channels?

Three of Sunday's 10 Premier League fixtures will be televised for UK viewers. Two of these matches will be broadcast on Sky Sports, while a TNT Sports subscription is required to view the third.

Premier League champions Liverpool will play host to Palace in a match that could see the latter make a late surge into the top half with three points at Anfield. That match will be aired on Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage commencing from 3pm, and will include Liverpool's trophy presentation in front of their fans after the final whistle.

However, neutral fans may be more interested in fifth-place Chelsea's visit to seventh-place Forest given the significant implications for Champions League qualification. This fixture can be viewed on Sky Sports Main Event, with coverage of both games on Sky concluding at 7.30pm.

Elsewhere, sixth-place Aston Villa will aim to heap further disappointment on Europe League runners-up Manchester United at Old Trafford. This match will be broadcast on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate, with coverage starting from 3pm and ending at 7pm.

How do I watch Premier League games on live stream?

If you're unable to watch Sunday's football extravaganza on television, don't fret. All three matches will also be available to live stream, providing a convenient way to catch all the action simultaneously.

Both matches being aired on Sky can also be viewed on tablet, mobile or computer via the Sky Go app or Now TV. Additionally, United's match against Villa can be streamed using the discovery+ app, or Sky Go, provided you have a valid subscription.

European qualification and what are the possible outcomes?

The race for European spots this season is incredibly tight, with five clubs still vying for undecided Champions League places. Interestingly, any of these five teams (though highly unlikely for third-place City) could mathematically drop to the Conference League if results don't go their way.

Among these teams, only Chelsea and Nottingham Forest will face each other on the final day. This makes the stakes even higher at the City Ground, where a draw could prove disastrous for either or both teams in their pursuit of the most prestigious competition possible.

For Nuno Espirito Santo's side, even a home victory may not guarantee a Champions League spot should Villa and Newcastle - who are hosting Everton - also win their matches. However, if Villa fail to secure points at Old Trafford, then a win against Chelsea would ensure at least a place in next season's Europa League.

Unai Emery's team will be cheering for Forest as they aim to defeat United and hopefully overtake Chelsea into the top five. In such a scenario, even a draw against the Red Devils would only keep them in sixth place, while the Blues would fall to seventh.

However, their forthcoming UEFA Conference League final against Real Betis offers them a potential route to the Europa League. This decisive match will have significant implications for Brighton, who are set to face Tottenham in eighth place and three points ahead of Brentford.

Even a draw in north London will therefore secure eighth for Fabian Hurzeler's squad, who could also earn a Conference League spot if the Blues win the Conference League title. However, a loss to Spurs could pave the way for Brentford to make a last-minute leap into eighth place on goal difference if they triumph at Wolves.

The Bees have won four of their last five matches and remain undefeated in three away games. Nonetheless, Brighton might feel optimistic about their chances of achieving a result against a Spurs team that is likely still celebrating its first title in 17 years.
