The Premier League's broadcast schedule includes matches at 12:30 PM Saturday, Monday evening at 8 PM, and occasional Friday and Tuesday fixtures — times when many people are working, commuting, or otherwise occupied. Watching on a second screen solves this without needing to negotiate the living room TV.
Best Devices for Premier League Second Screen Viewing
Laptop or Second Monitor (Windows / Mac)
IPTV Smarters Pro has a web interface, and Apollo Group TV streams are accessible via M3U playlist in VLC Media Player on Windows or Mac — opening a floating player window alongside your work. This is the cleanest second-screen setup for desk workers.
iPad or Android Tablet
A tablet propped beside your monitor gives you a dedicated screen without touching your main workflow. Install IPTV Smarters Pro from the App Store or Play Store, log in with your Apollo Group TV credentials, and run the Sky Sports or TNT Sports stream.
iPhone or Android Phone
Compact and portable — works well if you need to move between rooms or catch early goal action. The IPTV Smarters Pro mobile interface on 5G or Wi-Fi delivers smooth HD streams. Picture-in-picture mode on iOS 16+ allows the stream to float above other apps.
Second Screen Setup Checklist
- Install IPTV Smarters Pro (or VLC for desktop) on your second screen device
- Add your Apollo Group TV credentials — M3U URL or Xtream Codes as provided by support
- Pre-load the channel before kick-off — navigating to Sky Sports Premier League 30 seconds before kick-off avoids missing early goal chances
- Connect via Wi-Fi 5GHz band (not 2.4GHz) for best performance on a portable device
- Reduce stream quality if bandwidth is shared — 720p HD is fine for a secondary screen and uses far less data than 1080p
- Use headphones — saves the rest of the office or household
Which Premier League Matches Are on at Work-Friendly Times?
Key Premier League slots that suit second-screen viewing:
- Saturday 12:30 PM — Sky Sports Premier League lunchtime fixture, ideal second-screen viewing
- Friday 8:00 PM — occasional Sky Sports Friday evening fixture
- Tuesday/Wednesday evenings — midweek Premier League rounds, typically 7:30 PM and 8:00 PM kick-offs on Sky Sports and TNT Sports
The 3 PM Saturday blackout (protected fixture slot) means no matches are broadcast in the UK at that time — the second-screen question doesn't apply there.
Multi-Connection Plans for Second Screen
Apollo Group TV's multi-connection plans allow simultaneous streaming on more than one device — meaning you can watch a match on your work laptop while your main TV runs a different channel at the same time. This is particularly useful for households where someone wants a second screen for a midweek fixture while others use the main TV for something else.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I watch Premier League on my laptop in the UK?
Yes. Apollo Group TV works on Windows and Mac via IPTV Smarters Pro or VLC with an M3U playlist. Load Sky Sports Premier League or TNT Sports to watch any live fixture on your laptop screen.
Does Apollo Group TV work on mobile data?
Yes. Apollo Group TV streams work on 4G and 5G mobile data. A 1080p HD stream uses approximately 3–4 GB/hour. For extended viewing, use Wi-Fi or a mobile data plan with sufficient allowance.
Can I use picture-in-picture for Premier League on iPhone?
Yes. On iOS 16 and later, apps that support picture-in-picture (including IPTV Smarters Pro) allow you to float the video player over other apps — useful for monitoring the match while working in another application.
