Following Celtic, Rangers and the 2026/27 Scottish Premiership
The Scottish Premiership has 12 clubs and a format unlike any of the big English leagues. Each team plays the other 11 three times, making 33 games, and then the table splits into a top six and a bottom six for five more rounds. That adds up to 38 games per club and 228 in total. The 2026/27 season began on July 31, 2026, and is due to end on May 16, 2027.
Live coverage is concentrated in a few places. In the United Kingdom, Sky Sports shows most live games and streams them on NOW, while Premier Sports has a smaller package. Ireland watches on Sky Sports and NOW as well. In the United States, Paramount+ streams the league, and Setanta Sports carries it in the Baltic states, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, the Caucasus and Central Asia.
No channel shows live Scottish Premiership games free this season, and in most of the world there is no local broadcaster at all. For Scots living in Canada, Australia, Africa or elsewhere in Europe, the practical answer is a VPN: connect to the UK to use NOW, or to the US to use Paramount+.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I watch the Scottish Premiership in the UK?
Sky Sports is the main broadcaster and shows most live games, and NOW streams them without a long contract. Premier Sports has a smaller set of matches. There is no live Scottish Premiership on free TV this season, so one of those subscriptions is needed to watch live.
Is the Scottish Premiership shown in the US?
Yes. Paramount+ streams the league in the United States. Games played on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in Scotland arrive in the American morning, so a Celtic or Rangers match fits in before lunch on the East Coast and over an early breakfast in California.
What channel shows the Old Firm derby?
Celtic against Rangers is the league's biggest game, and in the UK it is usually live on Sky Sports, which holds most of the league's TV picks, with NOW for streaming. In the US it is on Paramount+. The two clubs meet three times before the split and once more if both finish in the top six.
Is the Scottish Premiership free to watch anywhere?
No. None of the broadcasters we track shows live games free in 2026/27, so watching needs a subscription to Sky Sports, NOW, Premier Sports, Paramount+ or Setanta Sports, depending on where you live. The table above shows which of them works in your country.
How does the Scottish Premiership split work?
After 33 rounds, when every club has played the others three times, the league divides in half, top six and bottom six. Teams then play five more games, only against clubs in their half, and keep the points they already have. A club in the bottom six cannot finish higher than seventh, even with more points than a top-six side.
When does the 2026/27 Scottish Premiership end?
The last round is scheduled for May 16, 2027. After that, the bottom club is relegated to the Scottish Championship, and the 11th-placed side plays a two-legged playoff final against a Championship team to keep its place in the top flight.
How can I watch Scottish football from Canada, Australia or Europe?
In most countries no broadcaster carries the league, so expats and traveling fans can turn to a VPN. With NordVPN set to the UK, a NOW account keeps working abroad; set to the US, Paramount+ does the same. Fans in the Baltics, Ukraine, the Caucasus and Central Asia can watch on Setanta Sports instead.
Which clubs play in the 2026/27 Scottish Premiership?
Twelve: Aberdeen, Celtic, Dundee, Dundee United, Falkirk, Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian, Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Rangers, St Johnstone and St Mirren. Three cities have two clubs each: Glasgow with Celtic and Rangers, Edinburgh with Hearts and Hibernian, and Dundee with Dundee and Dundee United.
