Where Premier League matches air
| Network | What it carries | On DIRECTV |
|---|---|---|
| NBC | Select weekend matches, usually the Saturday 12:30 p.m. ET game | Local NBC station |
| USA Network | Many weekend and Monday matches | Channel 242 |
| Peacock | Exclusive matches, every NBC match and Premier League Multiview | Peacock app (separate subscription) |
| NBCSN | Simulcasts some Peacock matches | Not on DIRECTV |
USA Network is now owned by Versant, but it still carries Premier League matches under NBC Sports' rights deal. Many matches stream only on Peacock, so you'll need both DIRECTV and Peacock to see every game.

- Peacock Premium Plus: $19.99 a month
Peacock raised prices on August 18, 2026, just before the season started. Peacock's Premier League Multiview shows several matches at once during busy windows, for select games.
