Frequently asked questions
Is there a free way to watch Premier League in Kenya?
There is no legal free-to-air option for live Premier League matches in Kenya. KBC and Citizen TV do not hold rights. The cheapest legal route is Showmax Premier League at around KSh 250/month for mobile streaming.
Can I watch Premier League on M-Pesa?
Yes. Both DStv and Showmax accept M-Pesa subscriptions through their apps and via Lipa Na M-Pesa codes. You don't need a credit card.
What channel is Arsenal vs Chelsea on in Kenya today?
Open the specific match on Livescore44 — every match-detail page shows the confirmed broadcaster for your country in real time. The match might be on SuperSport Premier League (the main channel) or rotated to SuperSport Action / SuperSport 4 if there's a clash.
Why don't free streaming sites work?
Pirate streams of EPL matches in Kenya are illegal and frequently shut down by the Kenya Film Classification Board. They're also unreliable (lag, low quality, malware risk). The legal options are cheap enough that most fans go with Showmax Premier League.
Does Livescore44 charge anything?
No. Live scores, fixtures, standings, lineups, predictions and stats on Livescore44 are completely free. We don't operate gambling and don't show video — for that you still need DStv or Showmax.
