How to Watch the Premier League in the USA: TV Channels, Times & Tips
A complete guide for American fans: which channels show Premier League, what time games kick off in ET and PT, and how to never miss a match.
Which channels show the Premier League in the US?
NBC Sports holds the primary US broadcast rights to the Premier League. Games are shown across Peacock (NBC's streaming service), NBC Sports (cable), and USA Network. Select high-profile matches air on NBC itself, the free-to-air flagship channel. Spanish-language coverage is on Telemundo and Universo. Peacock Premium ($7.99/month) is the most cost-effective way to access every Premier League match live.
Premier League kick-off times for US fans
The 12:30 UK Saturday kick-off is 07:30 Eastern / 04:30 Pacific — early but manageable for dedicated fans. The 15:00 UK slot (not shown live in the UK) is 10:00 ET / 07:00 PT, making it ideal US viewing time. The 17:30 UK Saturday game is 12:30 ET / 09:30 PT — perfect for weekend afternoon viewing. Sunday games at 16:30 UK are 11:30 ET / 08:30 PT. Midweek games at 20:00 UK are 15:00 ET / 12:00 PT.
The best time slot for US fans: the 3pm blackout is your friend
American fans have a unique advantage over UK viewers: the 15:00 UK Saturday blackout does not apply in the US. This means Peacock shows all simultaneous 15:00 Premier League games live — something UK fans cannot legally watch on TV. Saturday mornings in the US can feature four or five Premier League games broadcasting simultaneously from 10:00 ET onwards, making it exceptional value for subscribers.
How to follow your Premier League team in real time
Beyond live TV, the Premier League app provides official real-time updates, stats and commentary for every match. Many US fans also use the MatchMate Kickoff Converter to instantly check what time their team's next away game (often in the UK) kicks off locally. For clubs playing in Europe, Champions League and Europa League matches on Paramount+ add additional early-week viewing.
Tips for early morning Premier League viewing
The 07:30 ET Saturday kick-off (12:30 UK) is the most watched slot. Experienced US supporters recommend setting weekend alarms, preparing breakfast during the warm-up, and joining local American Outlaws or official supporters' club screenings at participating sports bars. Many sports bars in major cities open early specifically for the 12:30 UK match.
