I think the key missing detail here is where your friends is going to be travelling?

The plan is USA, Japan, Thailand/SE Asia, India and wherever else the fancy takes him.

Surely the real answer is for your friend to open a thread on here asking if anyone knows a bar showing the game in whatever city he happens to be in?

Sadly he's not a blowhard (and he doesn't really use the internet).

Vidio.com, about £8 a month in Indonesia and get every Premier League and European game live, plus highlights etc. Good deal and works fine elsewhere with VPN, although I think your google account has to be listed to Indonesia (easy to change) and I pay for it with an Indonesian bank card (less easy, albeit I don't know if thats required...)

I pay £30 a year for vidio. Very good value all games full hd although frame rate is only 25 fps. I barely ever use it. Streams are about 40 seconds delay is annoying.

I use Viaplay. Commentary is in Dutch and costs 15€ a month. However, it shows all the games and you can choose which one you want to stream. Has many Championship, Bundesliga + 2 as well as the darts.
Used my mates login last season. Was the closest to real time I've ever seen. 7/8 seconds. Has detoriated a bit this season.

Yeah weirdly works perfectly in the UK. Sometimes last season it was even 2/3 seconds behind which was mad but you're right, it is a lot worse. Just seen it's about to go up by 4€ a month next month too.

I still don't understand why they insist with Dutch commentators too, they're absolutely awful.

Then for the US, at least, as others have said, NBC or USA show some games on regular cable, Peacock shows all other Premier League games. Unfortunately, and cup games are on ESPN+ which is too bloody expensive (I think it's like $12 / month). Not Albion related, but if they wanted to see any European games (Champions League, Europa) those are on Paramount+.

If they are in the US for only a brief period, they might be able to get a free trial of Peacock. Or maybe not.

I find it interesting because companies like sky say it's virtually impossible to stream real time when that's clearly BS. Viaplay did it and Amazon is near real time which is why it's a real shame that Amazon didn't bother renewing EPL.

Greek TV streams near real time but I've only ever seen that on IPTV and in Singapore they have premier hub which streams all games full HD 50fps in English and on average is only around 20 seconds behind, although, that's very expensive.

I have peacock ... I did buy it a few years ago when there was a loop hole buying through Google pay. Think it's locked down to Americans bank accounts now. It even charges me in pounds £7.50 a month !

Fubo shows every PL game in Canada. Probably not what you're looking for though. It's CA$30 a month (20/month if you pay for the annual plan). It's also difficult to watch it outside Canada, they block most VPNs.

My son is in Edmonton and has Fubo. However, I understand that they currently only have the rights until the end of this season and that no one yet has broadcast rights for next season.

Interesting. It finally feels like Fubo has sorted their streaming service out and ironed out most of the problems. The same thing happened with DAZN before the switch to Fubo.
I hope it doesn't end up going to some other new streaming service. Even worse, shared between two platforms like it used to be in the TSN/Sportsnet days when you had to pay $20/month for each (and their streaming was terrible).

Same here to everything.

In the UK you have have to pay three providers and you don't even get all games.

Sky here in Germany shows almost every single premier league game (sometimes if there are say 6 Saturday 3pm kick offs they only show 5 of them). That costs 25€/month for one device or 30€/month on up to five devices so I split that with a friend, so 15€/month
Similarly Canal+ in France (through the wonderfully-named Match of Ze Day on Foot+), although you’d also be paying for a lot of French language channels and movies. You’d probably need to speak French to work out how to turn off the French commentary (for stadium sounds only) and to get original English movie soundtracks

Slightly surprisingly, Canal+ does not require a VPN, in fact it doesn’t like me using one - the opposite of my other French-language subscriptions. I also pay with a UK sterling credit card, whereas the other subscriptions require my Wise Euro account

What you do need is a Google account set to France to download the Canal+ app (each Google account is set to a country, and you can only change country a couple of times a year - and the download does require a VPN if outside France), then watch through an Android device - which is why I have Sony Bravia 4K TVs with built-in Android TV, but a Chromestick would work equally well

Also includes the European games, with at least one in 4K

So is it “illegal”? I’m not sure, I pay for the service, I haven’t given any false details or faked my location

Downsides? There’s about a 5-second delay by the time the stream reaches the UK, so sometimes the BHA App alert shows what’s happened before it it happens on-screen
