How to Watch the Premier League in the USA

Every Premier League match is available live in the United States, but not on one channel and not for one price. The rights sit with NBCUniversal, which splits the 380-game season between its broadcast network, a cable channel and a streaming service. Once you understand how that split works, planning a Saturday morning around kick-offs from England becomes simple.

This guide breaks down exactly where matches land in 2026-27, what each option costs per month, and how to catch the games you slept through.

Where Premier League matches actually air in the USA

NBC holds the US rights through the 2027-28 season, a deal reportedly worth around $2.7 billion over six years. In practice the broadcaster uses three outlets. Big weekend fixtures — think Liverpool against Arsenal in a Sunday 11:30 a.m. ET slot — air on the NBC broadcast network, which is free with an antenna. USA Network, a cable channel, carries a large share of Saturday and Sunday games. Everything else, including most midweek rounds, streams exclusively on Peacock.

The practical consequence: an antenna alone gets you roughly one marquee match per weekend. A cable package with USA Network raises that to three or four. Only Peacock shows all 380 matches across the season, most of them live and every one of them on replay.

What each option costs per month

Peacock Premium is the anchor product at $10.99 per month, or $109.99 per year if you pay upfront. The ad-free Premium Plus tier costs $16.99 monthly and adds downloads for offline viewing. For a fan whose main interest is English football, the annual plan works out at about $9.20 per month — the cheapest legal route to every match in the country.

Cable and live-TV streaming bundles cost more but include USA Network and NBC alongside dozens of other channels. YouTube TV runs $82.99 per month, Hulu + Live TV $89.99 with ads, Fubo $84.99, and Sling Blue $45.99 in markets where it carries NBC. These make sense if you want a full cable replacement; for football alone they are poor value next to Peacock.

Kick-off times and how to plan your weekend

English kick-offs translate kindly to US mornings. The Saturday 12:30 p.m. GMT game starts at 7:30 a.m. Eastern and 4:30 a.m. Pacific — brutal on the West Coast, which is why replays matter. The main Saturday window is 10:00 a.m. ET, when up to six matches run simultaneously. Sunday games land at 9:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. ET, and the Monday night fixture starts at 3:00 p.m. ET.

During simultaneous kick-offs Peacock runs a Goal Rush whip-around show that cuts between grounds as chances happen. It is the best way to follow a title race or relegation battle without picking one match.

Replays, highlights and Spanish-language coverage

Every match appears as a full replay on Peacock within a few hours of the final whistle, and condensed highlight packages run about ten minutes per game. NBC Sports YouTube channel posts official free highlights the same day. Telemundo and Universo carry select matches with Spanish commentary, and those stream inside Peacock too.

A simple setup that works

  • Peacock annual plan for every match and replay.
  • A $25 antenna for the free NBC weekend marquee game in HD.
  • Goal Rush on Saturdays when five matches kick off at once.
  • NBC Sports YouTube for free legal highlights the same evening.

Watching with a crowd: bars and the supporters-club scene

American soccer bars open at 6:30 a.m. on Saturdays for the early kick-off, and the official supporters-club network is vast: Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, City and United all sanction dozens of US chapters, each with a home bar that carries every match. NBC's own Premier League Mornings show broadcasts live from a different fan festival city several times per season, drawing crowds of five figures for what is essentially a giant outdoor viewing party. For a new fan, the supporters-bar route beats any streaming setup for one simple reason: the regulars teach you the game while you watch it.

Finding your chapter takes one search on the club's official site, and most bars welcome neutrals for the big fixtures. The 7:30 a.m. Saturday crowd is friendlier than it has any right to be at that hour.

One subscription plus one antenna covers the entire season. The only fans who need more are those who also follow the Champions League or domestic cups — those rights sit elsewhere, and we cover them in separate guides.
