That time of the year is here. The Premier League runs from August to May, bringing together 20 huge English clubs for 38 matches each. The season decides champions, European qualification, and relegation. Matches include local derbies, relegation battles that keep the lower end of the table alive, and the eventual championship matches. With the biggest clubs in the world; Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Man City, the competition has a global profile but stays firmly rooted in English football. At LuckyMate, every top fixture is listed with fractional odds across a wide range of markets, all settled on official results and paid in cash.
The Premier League runs on a points system: three points for a win, one for a draw, and none for a defeat. Over 38 matches, teams build their totals, with the title, top four, and relegation all decided by the final standings.
In betting terms, this season-long structure supports outright markets like league winner or top scorer, alongside weekly match betting. Games follow the standard football format of two halves of 45 minutes plus added time. Extra-time and penalties apply only in cup competitions, not in the league itself, so match bets are settled at the end of 90 minutes plus stoppage.
Football offers more betting markets than almost any other sport, and the Premier League carries the full range. UK players will find:
Back either team to win or the draw. This is the core market in every Premier League fixture.
Predict whether both sides will score during the 90 minutes.
Give one team a virtual advantage or disadvantage. Commonly used to balance contests between top clubs and lower-ranked sides.
Bet on how many goals will be scored in a game, with odds shown for every line.
Selections may include anytime goalscorer, first goalscorer, or total shots on target. All results are tied directly to official match data.
Markets may cover corners, cards, clean sheets, or exact scorelines. These often add depth to high-profile fixtures.
Season-long markets include the title winner, top four finish, relegation, and the Golden Boot for leading goalscorer.
In-play Premier League betting allows players to follow odds as matches progress. With two halves of 45 minutes plus stoppage time, live markets respond to goals, corners, and cards. All in-play wagers are tied to official match records, and odds are locked when the bet is placed.
Typical live markets include:
Next team to score.
Half-time or full-time result.
Next goalscorer.
Total corners or bookings.
These markets are available on selected fixtures across the season, from early rounds through to the closing weekend. Payouts are credited in cash once the official result is confirmed.
Not every game carries the same weight, and the calendar is filled with fixtures that shape the season.
Local rivalries like the Manchester Derby, North London Derby, and Merseyside Derby attract worldwide attention and a full range of betting markets.
Top-of-the-table clashes often influence the race for first place. Outright odds may adjust significantly around these fixtures.
Games at the bottom of the table are just as important, with markets covering match winners, goals, and specials.
Markets are listed across all fixtures, from the opening weekend to the final day. Coverage extends to outright positions in the league table as well as individual matches.
Alongside weekly fixtures and season outrights, betting also extends to player achievements and long-term specials. These give extra ways to follow the season beyond the league table.
The Golden Boot is awarded to the top scorer each season, and markets are listed on leading forwards throughout the campaign. The Golden Glove recognises the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets, another popular player market.
Awards tied to individual performances can also feature in the sportsbook, with odds based on official Premier League votes and statistics.
Markets go beyond the title or relegation fight. Clubs can be backed to secure a top-six or top-half place by the end of the season.
Instead of focusing only on relegation, some markets cover survival — backing a club to remain in the Premier League after 38 matches.
Some markets extend to team performance, such as most goals scored or strongest defensive record across the season. Manager markets may also be available, such as the next coach to leave their post.
Season-long markets are a major feature of Premier League betting. These include:
League Winner: Which club will finish first after 38 games.
Top Four Finish: Odds on who qualifies for the Champions League.
Relegation: Which sides will drop into the Championship.
Golden Boot: The player who will score the most goals.
Manager Markets: Sometimes available for next manager to leave or seasonal awards.
These outrights run alongside weekly match betting, giving players the chance to follow both short-term fixtures and long-term outcomes.

Premier League matches are widely broadcast in the UK under a rights deal that covers 287 live games each season. Coverage is split between Sky Sports and TNT Sports. Sky Sports shows more than 200 matches each campaign, including a dedicated Premier League channel, while TNT Sports carries just over 50 fixtures.
Both broadcasters make games available through their TV packages and streaming apps. Sky customers can watch live fixtures via the Sky Go app, while TNT Sports content is included in the discovery+ platform. For those preferring a rolling contract, NOW offers access to Sky’s sports channels without a long-term subscription.
Free-to-air live games are rare. In recent seasons only a handful have been shown on channels such as the BBC or Sky’s free-to-view outlet which mainly stick to highlights shows.
Premier League betting should always be treated as entertainment. LuckyMate provides safer gambling tools such as deposit limits, time-outs, and reality checks, all available through your account.
Independent support is also accessible via GamCare and BeGambleAware, with links on the LuckyMate site.
Because football offers frequent fixtures and multiple markets, setting limits is especially important. Safer gambling UK standards are supported at LuckyMate to help players stay in control.
