The Chelsea vs. Fulham Premier League match on Thursday, December 26, 2024, is over. In the United States, Peacock streamed it live; there was no guaranteed free official full-match stream. A trial, promotion, bundle, or existing subscription might have provided access at the time, but none was a free offer for everyone.
Which Chelsea–Fulham match was it?
This guide refers to the 2024/25 Premier League west London derby played at Stamford Bridge on Thursday, December 26, 2024. It was a different fixture from Chelsea’s January 13, 2024 home match against Fulham, which had a separate UK broadcast arrangement. The December match kicked off at 3:00 p.m. UK time. Chelsea’s matchday viewing guide identified the date, venue, UK broadcaster, and club digital coverage.
Where was the match shown?
United States
Peacock was the U.S. live-stream destination for this fixture, with kickoff at 10:00 a.m. Eastern. It was not listed as a live match on a conventional U.S. television channel. Contemporary coverage from Sporting News and NBC Sports named Peacock and the 10 a.m. ET start.
For reference, the kickoff converted to 9:00 a.m. Central, 8:00 a.m. Mountain, and 7:00 a.m. Pacific. These are the historical start times for December 26, 2024; the event is not still live.
United Kingdom and other territories
Amazon Prime was the UK broadcaster for the December 26 fixture, according to Chelsea’s official viewing information. Outside the UK and United States, the relevant service depended on the local Premier League rights holder. Streaming rights are territory-specific, so Peacock or Amazon Prime should not be assumed to work worldwide.
Was there a free way to watch?
There was no universally available, official free stream of the complete match in the U.S. “Free” could have meant an eligible promotion or trial, an included bundle, or access through an existing subscription. Those options depended on the offer and the viewer’s eligibility; they were not guaranteed. Current prices and offers do not establish what a viewer paid in December 2024.

| Option | Legal? | Full live match? | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peacock subscription | Yes | Yes, on match day | The U.S. stream for this fixture required an eligible plan. |
| Trial, promotion, or bundle | Yes | Potentially | Only if the offer was available and the viewer qualified. |
| Existing TV-provider access | Yes | Potentially | Access depended on the package and applicable rights; a Peacock subscription and an NBC or USA provider login are not interchangeable. |
| Official club or league updates | Yes | No | Live text and audio provide match coverage, not the full video broadcast. |
| Official highlights | Yes | No | Availability depends on the channel’s archive and regional rights. |
| Unofficial stream sites | Not recommended | Unreliable | They can involve copyright infringement, deceptive payment requests, privacy risks, or malware. |
For future matches, Peacock carries selected Premier League fixtures rather than necessarily every match. NBCUniversal distributes games across Peacock and television outlets including NBC and USA, depending on the schedule. Check the listing for the specific match and the plan’s live-sports eligibility before subscribing. Peacock’s Premier League page describes its current offering; current prices and plan details can change.
Can you watch the full match now?
You cannot watch the December 26, 2024 event live now. Peacock may show an archive listing, but a past event page is not proof that a full replay remains available. Replay windows can expire.

That was the club’s stated plan at the time, not a guarantee that the replay remains online. Check the official Chelsea match page, Fulham’s official channels, NBC Sports, or the Premier League’s official channels for highlights and any surviving archive. Avoid pages promising unauthorized full-match copies.
How Peacock access worked on match day
These are general historical viewing steps, not a promise that the old event listing or the same interface remains available:
- Open the Peacock website or app and sign in, or create an account.
- Use an eligible plan with live sports, or a qualifying bundle or promotion.
- Search for “Chelsea vs. Fulham” or open the Premier League sports section.
- Check the event listing and any available language-feed details before kickoff.
- Watch on a supported device, such as a smart TV, streaming stick, phone, tablet, browser, or game console.
For current Premier League coverage, confirm the fixture and plan at Peacock’s official Premier League page. Plan names, menus, device support, and promotions can change. Peacock access is also separate from logging in to NBC or USA apps with a TV provider; NBC’s Peacock FAQ explains the distinction.

For a future fixture, check the Premier League schedule and the specific event listing on Peacock or the broadcaster serving your country. In the U.S., compare whether a match is assigned to Peacock or a linear channel such as NBC or USA before choosing a service. Official club and league channels are useful for highlights, interviews, live text, and audio, but they are not generally a substitute for the authorized full live video feed.
