NBC won over pretty much every sports media critic in the land with their coverage of the Premier League last year. They also likely won the league a few new fans by just putting the games on TV, promoting them, and putting a professional production behind them. Their reward: do it all over again, starting a month from now.
The NBC Sports Group launches the EPL season August 16th with Manchester United-Swansea City in an early morning tilt on NBCSN. NBC’s first game of the season is later in the day, with Arsenal hosting Crystal Palace in the typical 12:30 p.m. ET slot. A to be determined game will air on NBCSN in between them at 10 a.m. ET.
Some things to note: Manchester City kicks off their season on Sunday, August 17th at 11 a.m. ET; Tim Howard’s Everton squad gets their first big showcase August 23rd at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC against Liverpool; a special Manchester United/Chelsea showdown on Sunday, Oct. 26 at Noon ET on NBC (up against the NFL); a triple header featuring Manchester United/Everton and Chelsea/Arsenal on Oct. 5.
