The short answer: to watch the Premier League in the USA, you need Peacock — the streaming home of the league, carrying around 175 games a season exclusively — plus access to NBC and USA Network for the marquee TV matches. Spanish-language coverage runs on Telemundo and Universo. NBCUniversal holds the exclusive US rights through 2028, so this line-up is locked in for the 2026/27 season.
That combination covers all 380 matches. Below is exactly where each game lives, how to watch without cable, the cheapest way to see your club, and what's available for free.
Where to watch the Premier League in the USA
NBCUniversal splits coverage across streaming and TV. Here's the full picture:
| Platform | What it carries | Language |
|---|---|---|
| Peacock | ~175 games a season streaming exclusively, plus every NBC/USA simulcast on demand | English |
| NBC | The biggest weekend matches, free over the air on your local NBC station | English |
| USA Network | Midweek and additional weekend games | English |
| Telemundo / Universo | Select matches in Spanish | Spanish |
The key thing to understand: no single subscription shows every game on TV. The exclusive Peacock streams never air on cable, and the NBC/USA games need a TV feed. To follow every match, most fans pair Peacock with a way to watch NBC and USA Network.
Peacock: the streaming home of the Premier League
Peacock is the hub. Roughly 175 Premier League matches per season stream live and exclusively there — games you can't see anywhere else — and it also holds on-demand replays and full-match rewinds of every fixture.
Peacock's ad-supported Premium plan starts at $10.99/month, which is all you need for the Premier League. That single subscription is the cheapest way to watch the largest chunk of the season, so for most casual fans it's the obvious starting point.

How to watch the Premier League without cable
The NBC and USA Network games are the only piece that traditionally needs a cable box — but you don't need cable to get those channels. Any of these live-TV streaming services carry both NBC and USA Network:
- YouTube TV
- Fubo
- Hulu + Live TV
- DirecTV Stream
- Sling TV (Blue plan carries USA Network; NBC availability varies by market)
Pair one of those with Peacock and you've got the whole season, no cable subscription required. Most offer a free trial, so you can time one around a big fixture run.
The cheapest way to watch the Premier League
It depends on how much you want to see:
- Casual fan (most games, lowest cost): just Peacock Premium at $10.99/month. You get ~175 exclusive live games plus on-demand access to the rest.
- Every single match live: Peacock plus a live-TV streamer (YouTube TV, Fubo or Hulu + Live TV) for the NBC/USA games. That's the complete package, at a higher monthly cost.
- Just the marquee games: if you only care about the big weekend fixtures, your local NBC station airs them free over the air with a simple antenna.
Can you watch the Premier League for free?
Partly, yes — legally. The biggest matches air on NBC, which is free over the air with an antenna, and Spanish-language games run on Telemundo and Universo, also free to air. Beyond that, Peacock and the live-TV streamers offer free trials you can use around a specific matchweek. Steer clear of illegal streams — they're unreliable, unsafe, and unnecessary given the free over-the-air options.
When does the 2026/27 Premier League season start?
The 2026/27 Premier League season kicks off on Friday, August 21, 2026, and runs through Championship Sunday on May 30, 2027, when all ten final-day fixtures are played simultaneously. Coverage across Peacock, NBC, USA Network and Telemundo begins from the opening weekend.
Watching from outside the US
If you're a US-based fan travelling abroad, your existing Peacock or live-TV subscription may be geo-restricted depending on the country. The simplest legal route is to check each service's travel policy before you go. In other countries the Premier League has entirely different rights-holders — for example, Sky and TNT in the UK — so the US line-up above applies to viewers in the United States.
