For as long as I can remember, weekends in my school friend circle have meant one thing, English Premier League nights. For over two decades, we have been glued to our screens, living and breathing every kick, every goal, every heartbreak.
And honestly, it’s easy to see why. The EPL isn’t just football, it’s the absolute best of the game: world-class players, intense rivalries, nail-biting drama, and production quality that makes every match feel like a grand event.
But you know what makes it even better for us Nepalis? The timing. Matches land perfectly in the evenings when we’re free from work and can sit down with family or friends. It’s become more than a habit, it’s a ritual. A weekend isn’t complete without those matches. We cancel avoidable plans, tea shops buzz with heated debates, and social media lights up with predictions and memes. Supporting a Premier League club here isn’t just fandom, it’s an emotion. For me, following Manchester United is as personal as it gets.
That said, watching the EPL in Nepal hasn’t always been smooth. For years, broadcasts were handled by international channels, often with limited access. And if you were like me, sometimes stuck away from the TV, you’d be forced to go hunting for dodgy online streams. I can’t count how many times I’ve sat through laggy, low-res videos, drowning in pop-up ads, just to catch United play. It was frustrating, but we had no choice.
Then came this season’s game-changer, Kantipur MAX TV. For the first time, EPL matches were not only on a free-to-air Nepali channel but also available online and through mobile apps. That’s when things really changed. Now, whether I’m at home with a big screen or on the move with just my phone, I can watch the games smoothly and in top quality, no shady links, no interruptions.
Honestly, it feels like a dream for a Nepali fan. Finally, the EPL experience we’ve craved for years is right at our fingertips. And as another weekend rolls around, I can’t wait to sit back, cheer on my team, and know that wherever I am, I won’t miss a single moment.
I hope Kantipur MAX TV continue this to many years to come.
