Peacock offers expansive Premier League content, but you’ll need USA Network to access all EPL games this season.
Peacock is a must-have streaming service for soccer fans to watch the English Premier League (EPL). Just under half of the Premier League’s 380 games stream exclusively on Peacock, with NBC match simulcasts also available.
To get live game access, you must subscribe to one of Peacock’s premium plans—starting at $5.99 a month. Not only will you receive around 175 live Premier League games per season, but you’ll also have thousands of movies and TV shows at your fingertips.

What channels have Premier League games?
Premier League fans in the U.S. can watch every match across NBC, Peacock, and USA Network. If you prefer Spanish-language commentary, Telemundo, UNIVERSO, and Peacock carry games en Español.
The great thing about Peacock is that it simultaneously streams all games broadcast on NBC and Telemundo. Therefore, Peacock has every live Premier League game besides the ones airing on USA Network and, sometimes, UNIVERSO.
Pro tip: Fans of England women’s soccer can catch most FA Women’s Super League (FAWSL) matches on The FA Player. Occasional games also stream on Paramount+.

Best TV plans for watching the Premier League
Peacock is an essential part of watching the Premier League in the U.S. Yet, to enjoy every game this season, you must supplement Peacock with a TV provider that carries USA Network.
Fortunately, Peacock is an inexpensive service. Its premium plans start at $5.99 a month, and grant you access to nearly half of this season’s Premier League games. On top of that, Peacock includes thousands of movies and TV shows alongside additional live sports. We’re talking MLB, NFL, Premiership Rugby, and WWE events. You even get complete Spanish-language access to the FIFA World Cup and FIFA Women’s World Cup each time those tournaments come around.
The cheapest way to get USA Network is through Sling TV. The live TV streaming service offers the channel in its Sling Blue plan for $40.00 a month. However, if you have more room in your budget, Hulu + Live TV is another great way to get USA Network. After all, Hulu + Live TV includes ESPN+ at no extra cost—giving you every FA Cup and EFL Championship game.

Premier League content on Peacock
Peacock is stacked when it comes to Premier League content. Not only does it have around 175 live Premier League games, but it also provides on-demand access to all 380 league matchups each season. Replays of games that don’t originally stream live on Peacock become available 24 hours after the match ends and are available to stream for 30 days.
Outside of actual games, Peacock is also home to Premier League studio shows, highlights, and docuseries. There’s even a 24/7 live channel called Premier League TV that really comes in handy on transfer deadline days.
What’s great about Premier League TV is that it airs a mixture of U.S.- and U.K.-produced content. This means you’ll get the best of both worlds with NBC Sports and Sky Sports programming. We particularly enjoy The Kelly & Wrighty Show, which features presenter Kelly Cates and Arsenal legend Ian Wright.
Here’s a list of Premier League programs featured on Peacock:
- The 2 Robbies
- The Analysis Show
