USA Network to Televise Premier League Matches

STAMFORD: USA Network is set to broadcast weekly Premier League matches through the 2015-16 season, with its first telecast kicking off this Saturday.

USA Network will air more than 40 weekend games for the season. U.S. viewers can enjoy two live matches in most Saturday windows: one on NBCSN and one on USA. All remaining Premier League matches will be made available on Premier League Extra Time, a bonus television package available to MVPDs at no extra cost for customers who receive NBCSN.

Additionally, weekly matches will be aired in Spanish by Telemundo and NBC Universo, and will also be streamed on the NBC Deportes En Vivo Extra app for mobile devices.

“Bringing Premier League soccer to USA is a key part of our overall strategy to add more live programming to the network,” said Chris McCumber, the president of USA Network. “This is a great opportunity to help expand the platform for the top league in the world’s most popular sport.”
