"What channel is the Premier League on today?" is one of the most searched soccer questions in the US — and the answer genuinely varies week to week. Premier League broadcast rights in the US are split between multiple platforms, and the schedule shifts depending on the fixture. This guide explains exactly how it works for the 2025/26 season.
Premier League Channel Guide 2026 — US
NBC Sports / Peacock
NBCUniversal holds the primary Premier League broadcast rights in the US through the current rights cycle. The coverage spans NBC, USA Network, Peacock Premium streaming, and Spanish-language coverage on Telemundo and Universo. NBC Sports Network, which used to carry matches, closed in 2021.
Key NBC Sports/Peacock Premier League slots: Saturday 7:30 AM ET (early fixture), Saturday 10:00 AM ET (main event), Saturday 12:30 PM ET, Sunday 11:00 AM ET, and occasional midweek fixtures.
USA Network
USA Network carries overflow Premier League fixtures, typically the second-most-prominent match of each round. Available on cable and satellite, as well as Peacock Premium streaming.
Telemundo / Universo
Selected Premier League matches air in Spanish on Telemundo and Universo for US Spanish-language soccer fans. Available on cable and through Peacock.
NBC (Broadcast) — Selected Fixtures
A small number of high-profile Premier League matches air on NBC broadcast television, making them available free over-the-air with an antenna. This is the only free-to-air Premier League option in the US.
The Simplest Official Way to Watch Every Match
Peacock Premium streams the largest share of US Premier League matches, and costs $12.99 to $19.99 a month depending on the tier (October 2026 prices, from our cost calculator). Add a cable or live-TV streaming package with USA Network for the matches shown there, and an antenna for NBC's free broadcasts.
NBC Sports publishes the weekly schedule showing which match is on which channel or stream, so check it before each matchday rather than relying on last week's pattern.
