Chinese media company LeTV has acquired the rights to show the English Premier League (EPL) for the third season in a row.
The major difference this year is that very single game in the EPL will be live-streamed via its website, LeSports.com, as well as their app. That's 380 matches in total beamed directly to your glowing screen of choice.
To watch the games you need to purchase a 12-month LeSports Pass. The subscription (590RMB) also gives you access to other football leagues, including Germany's Bundesliga, Italy's Serie A and this country's own Chinese Super League - meaning you can catch Shanghai SIPG's new record signing Hulk in action.
Sports including tennis (Wimbledon) and golf (the Ryder Cup) and many more are also available on the service and you can use foreign or domestic payment methods to subscribe, including WeChat Wallet.
Some of the EPL games will have English-language commentary, while for Chinese speakers, noted EPL commentator Zhan Jun is on board for the season.

So if The Camel or The Shed aren't your scene, now you can watch those Premier League clashes from the comfort of your own sofa/bed, with only China's internet speed standing in your way. May the buffering commence!
