Sunday starts early. 11 a.m. EST. 8 a.m. Pacific. Two London teams meet at Selhurst Park for a game that barely matters. Or does it?
Both clubs have bigger fish to fry.
Arsenal are the new champions. Twenty-two years it took, but here they are. Martin Ødegaard will lift the trophy today, likely with the bench warming for him. Manager Mikel Arteta knows what’s next: the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germains next week. He isn’t going to waste energy here. Expect a heavy rotation. Maybe the B team. Maybe a full remix of the roster.
Crystal Palace feels the same pull. Europa Conference League. Final against Rayo Vallecano is on Wednesday. Manager Oliver Glasner plays his last match as Palace boss. If they win today? Fourteenth place. Not bad, considering the shaky start. If they lose? Just another day in south London.
The kickoff is 4 p.m. BST locally.
Two titles decided earlier this week now sit with Arsenal. This is just a dress rehearsal.
Where to Watch
US viewers are spoiled, if you can call paying for subscriptions a kindness. The game lands on CNBC. Also on Peacock Premium. You’ll need the paid tier. Not the free one. There is no free one.
Peacock Premium starts at $11 a month. If that sounds steep, remember you are getting the whole Premier League season.
In the UK? Sky Sports. They have all ten simultaneous final day matches. Sky Go for existing subscribers. Now TV for those who hate cables. It is exclusive.
Canada calls Fubo the authority. Australia points to Stan Sport. No surprises there.
The VPN Loophole
Traveling abroad? Streaming rights are notoriously territorial. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) might be your ticket. It hides your location. It encrypts your data. Your ISP stops seeing what you do.
Legal in the US? Yes. Canada? Also yes.
But watch out. Streaming platforms hate this. Their terms of service often forbid VPN use. If they detect you, the stream cuts out. Check the rules before you connect. Don’t blame the provider if your account gets flagged. Some services are lenient. Most are not.
Install it securely. Follow the instructions. Keep it legal.
The sun sets on another Premier League season. The Gunners walk away with gold. The Eagles? They might finish with dignity, or they might stumble in Glasner’s farewell. We will know by Sunday evening. Or Monday. Depending on when the clock stops.
