To watch every Premier League match in the US in 2026/27 you need Peacock Premium ($12.99/mo) for the 175+ exclusive games + NBC simulcasts, plus access to USA Network (via YouTube TV, Fubo, Sling, or cable). No single service carries all 380 matches.


What Is the Best Way to Watch Premier League in the US?

NBCUniversal holds the exclusive U.S. broadcast rights to the Premier League through the 2028 season. All 380 matches are shown live across NBC, USA Network, and Peacock, with Spanish-language coverage on Telemundo and Universo. To watch every match, you need access to all three English-language platforms. For a UK perspective on the same topic, see our guide on watching 3pm Premier League matches in the USA vs UK.
