How To Watch the Premier League in the US
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 $7.99 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.
Keep reading to learn more about how to watch the Premier League in the U.S. and what other channels carry games.
What channels show 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.
Some matches may appear on other NBCUniversal networks like CNBC and Golf Channel—especially on Championship Sunday. But Peacock often simultaneously streams those games, plus all matches that air on NBC.
Pro tip: Fans of England women’s soccer can catch many Women’s Super League and Women’s Championship matches on the Barclays WSL and Barclays WC YouTube channels. Occasional WSL games also stream on ESPN+, while The FA Player will stream live Women’s FA Cup fixtures.
Premier League schedule
The 2024–2025 Premier League season began on August 16, 2024, and will end with Championship Sunday on May 25, 2025.

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 $7.99 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 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. But if you have more room in your budget, Hulu + Live TV also has NBC Sports channels and includes ESPN+ at no extra cost—giving you live FA Cup, La Liga, and Bundesliga games. Unfortunately, you’ll also need Paramount+ in your streaming roster if you want robust EFL Championship and League One coverage.
Most cable, satellite, and live TV streaming services carry Premier League games via NBC, CNBC, and USA Network. But as shown in our table below, some providers don’t have any NBCUniversal channels.

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
- The Big Interview
- The Catch Up Show
- Fantasy Premier League
- Goal Rush
- Headline Makers
- The Kelly & Wrighty Show
- The Lowe Down
- The Men in Blazers Show
- Netbusters
- PL Stories
- Premier League 100
- Premier League Fanzone
- Premier League Match Pack
- Premier League Today
- The Weekend Preview
