Tips for Australian EPL Fans

1. Use On-Demand Wisely

If you cannot stay up for the 2am kick-offs, Optus Sport’s on-demand replays are available from full-time. Go into a social media blackout and watch the full match at a civilised hour.

2. Mini-Matches for Busy Weekends

The 25-minute mini-match format captures all the key moments without the full 90-minute commitment. Ideal for catching up on multiple games on a Sunday morning.

3. Saturday Night (Perth) Is Prime Time

Fans in Western Australia have the most viewer-friendly time zone. The Saturday 3pm UK kick-off translates to 11pm Saturday in Perth — late but manageable.

4. Join a Supporter Group

Every major Australian city has active supporter groups for Premier League clubs. Watching a 2am derby at a packed pub with fellow fans is an experience unlike any other.

5. Set Alerts

Optus Sport’s app allows you to set match alerts so you never miss kick-off, even for the most unsociable time slots.
