How to Watch Premier League Matches Live This Weekend in the U.S
How to Watch Premier League Matches Live This Weekend in the U.S

The Premier League run-in is where everything gets chaotic in the best way: title pressure, top-four drama, and relegation six-pointers every weekend. For US viewers, the key is knowing where each match will land (NBC, USA Network, or Peacock) and how to avoid missing early kickoffs.

Where to watch the Premier League in the US (2025/26)

NBCUniversal carries the Premier League in the United States across three main destinations:

  • NBC (broadcast network)

  • USA Network (cable channel)

  • Peacock (streaming)

NBC Sports’ season guide is clear: all 380 matches are available across NBC, USA Network, and Peacock.

What that means in real life

  • Big matches often appear on NBC or USA Network.

  • A significant number of games stream live on Peacock (including exclusives).

  • Some matches air on TV and stream (varies week to week).

Best streaming setup (with and without cable)

If you have cable (or a live TV bundle)

You’ll want:

  • USA Network access (for many live matches)

  • NBC access (for select marquee games)

  • Peacock (for streaming matches and extras)

Most US live TV services that include USA Network should work (for example: YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, Sling, DirecTV Stream). Channel lineups can vary by market, so treat that as “check before you subscribe.”

If you don’t have cable

You can still watch a lot of the season by combining:

  • Peacock (core Premier League streaming hub)

  • A cheap HD antenna for NBC (in many areas, NBC can be received over-the-air)

If a match is on USA Network, you’ll need a cable login or a live TV streaming plan that includes USA.

Peacock: what you get

Peacock’s Premier League page highlights:

  • Live matches

  • On-demand replays

  • Highlights and extra coverage

NBC’s own explainer also emphasizes Peacock as the streaming option across NBCUniversal’s Premier League coverage (including exclusive matches).

Practical tip: if you follow a non–“big six” club, Peacock is often the difference between watching every week and constantly hunting for channel assignments.

Kickoff times in the US: the typical weekly windows (ET)

Most Premier League kickoffs land in a few predictable ET slots:

  • 7:30am ET (early Saturday match)

  • 10:00am ET (main Saturday window)

  • 12:30pm ET (late Saturday match)

  • 9:00am ET and 11:30am ET (common Sunday slots)

  • 2:30pm–3:15pm ET (many midweek matches)

Time change warning for March 2026 (ET vs UK time)

The US and UK switch clocks on different dates:

  • US daylight saving time starts Sunday, March 8, 2026 (ET shifts forward)

  • UK daylight saving time starts Sunday, March 29, 2026

So between March 8 and March 29, some kickoff times can feel “off by an hour” compared to earlier weeks. If you ever see a match listed at a surprising ET time, this is usually why.

Confirmed upcoming fixtures and kickoff times (ET)

For the run-in, the most reliable “ground truth” for dates/times is the Premier League’s own fixture-change announcements (TV selections + European scheduling impacts).

These pages confirm match movements and revised kickoff times for February and March 2026.

Because US channel picks can shift and are published week-by-week, the best approach is:

  • Use official PL updates to lock date/time

  • Use NBC/Peacock listings to lock NBC vs USA vs Peacock closer to matchday

How to find the US channel for each match

When you’re trying to answer “Where is my match airing in the US?” do this:

  1. Check NBC Sports’ Premier League hub / weekly schedule posts (they regularly publish where games air across NBC/USA/Peacock).

  2. Check Peacock’s Premier League page for streaming coverage and match availability.

  3. If a match is moved, confirm the time via the Premier League’s official fixture-change updates.

The “don’t miss a match” toolkit for the rest of the season

Add the official Premier League digital calendar

The Premier League explicitly recommends using its digital calendar to stay updated as changes happen.
This is the single best way to keep your phone calendar synced when matches move.

Set two reminders for early kickoffs

US mornings are brutal. Set:

  • One reminder the night before

  • One reminder 15 minutes before kickoff

Know what “Peacock exclusive” means

If your match is Peacock-only, it won’t appear on NBC or USA Network. That’s not rare — it’s part of the weekly distribution model.

What about the final day of the season?

NBC Sports’ season guide notes the final round is Sunday, May 24, 2026, with all 10 matches kicking off at the same time.

That usually means wall-to-wall coverage and rapid-fire updates across NBC’s platforms (exact presentation varies year to year, but the simultaneous kickoff is the key detail).

FAQs

Do I need Peacock to watch the rest of the season?

If you want the simplest path to “watch every week,” Peacock is the most important piece because many matches stream there.

Will every match be available live in the US?

Yes — NBC Sports states all 380 matches are available across NBC, USA Network and Peacock.

Why did a kickoff time look different in March?

Because US DST begins March 8, 2026, while the UK changes later on March 29, 2026.
