How to watch the 2025-26 Premier League season from the U.S.: Streaming and broadcast info

The return of English Premier League fixtures means everything to dedicated swaths of U.S. supporters. American football is still a singular presence throughout fall, but this country's EPL contingent really does grow with each passing season. The 2025-26 season commences on Friday, when defending champion Liverpool hosts Bournemouth at Anfield. Below is our brief refresher on the Prem's American streaming situation, its broadcast rotation order and this year's five midweek matchweeks. Remember, this is only for the EPL itself, rather than other association play. All times below are ET — throw alarms on full volume for the West Coasters. You can stream EPL and other live sports with Fubo (Save $20). The oldest broadcaster in America is glued to the EPL with a multi-billion-dollar rights deal. That TV and streaming exclusivity is in place through 2027-28. NBC's 'Premier League Live' studio team is Rebecca Lowe (presenter from London), Robbie Earle (Jamaican football luminary), Robbie Mustoe (former EPL, EFL defensive midfielder) and Tim Howard (longtime USMNT keeper, also with Man United and Everton). Advertisement Peter Drury (play-by-play), Lee Dixon and Graeme Le Saux are the network's lead broadcast trio. Drury also appears on Sky Sports in the UK. From 1988-2002, Dixon was a defender for Arsenal, where he achieved multiple English doubles and won four league championship medals. He also notched 22 appearances for the English national team during the 90s. Le Saux played in 230 Chelsea matches across two different stints (1989-93, then 1997-03), and he capped for England 36 times between '94 and 2000. Jon Champion is the other notable commentator on NBC. What an incredible name for a sportscaster. He's also on ESPN in America for FA Cup and in the UK for League Cup, plus Britain's free-to-air ITV for World Cup matches. What you'll need to watch these matches: NBC is free over the air with a broadcast antenna. It is also included in pay-TV plans (around $85-110 per month) and a Peacock subscription (starts at $7.99 with ads). Not all of the American broadcasts land on NBC itself. A lot of them go to USA Network, while Spanish-language offerings are made via Universo and Telemundo. The latter is home to that iconic '¡gooooooooooool!' bellow from Andrés Cantor. On special occasions, such as 'Championship Sunday,' viewers even find linear Premier League broadcasts on Syfy, CNBC and the Golf Channel. It's infrequent, but it does happen ('vertical integration, Lemon'). Then there's Peacock, the digital streamer with exclusive rights to several EPL matches every week. These can be matchups of real significance, too. So, the main thing to take away from this whole explainer: Premier League fans in the U.S. need consistent access to NBC and its many properties. You can't watch all Premier League matches with just Peacock, as live USA Network windows aren't available on the app until one day after airing. You also can't watch all Premier League matches with just cable or streaming, as the Peacock exclusives still require a Peacock login. Advertisement To visualize it, take a look at Matchweek 1's fixtures: Liverpool vs. AFC Bournemouth — 3 p.m. on USA Aston Villa vs. Newcastle United — 7:30 a.m. on USA Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Fulham — 10 a.m. on USA Sunderland vs. West Ham United — 10 a.m. on Peacock Tottenham Hotspur vs. Burnley — 10 a.m. on Peacock Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Manchester City — 12:30 p.m. on NBC and Peacock Chelsea vs. Crystal Palace — 9 a.m,. on USA Nottingham Forest vs. Brentford — 9 a.m. on Peacock Manchester United vs. Arsenal — 11:30 a.m. on NBC and Peacock Leeds United vs. Everton — 3 p.m. on USA What you'll need to watch these matches: Pay-TV plans (Fubo, etc.) include all of those networks except Peacock. A subscription is required for Peacock exclusives. There are 33 matchweeks, plus five midweek slates, for a total of 380 matches. That allows all 20 EPL clubs to get one home and one away look at each opponent. Kickoff times are only set through August so far, and starts vary by other European fixtures. Here are the midweek specials to look out for this season: The winter transfer window opens on New Year's Day, then closes back up on Feb. 2, 2026. Final matches are slated for Sunday, May 24. Wins in a season: Manchester City (2017-18, 2018-19) and Liverpool (2019-20) with 32 Points in a season: Manchester City (2017-18) with 100 Consecutive home wins: Liverpool (2019-2020) with 24 Consecutive away wins: Manchester City (2020-21) with 12 Goals in a season: Erling Haaland (Manchester City, 2022-23) with 36 Goals in a calendar year: Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur, 2017) with 39 Goals in a calendar month: Luis Suárez (Liverpool, December 2013) with 10 Consecutive matches scoring a goal: Jamie Vardy (Leicester City, 2015-16) with 11 Advertisement Predictions for 2025-26: From title winner to best signing, the staff has you covered here.
