NBC Sports Group Sets 10-Day Stretch of Premier League Coverage
By: Tyler Peterson Apr. 11, 2016
NBC Sports Group kicks off its presentation of nine Premier League match days in a 10-day span (April 16-25), including six consecutive days of live matches, with the full Premier League announce team working together on-location in the United Kingdom this Saturday, April 16 through Tuesday, April 19. Following NBC Sports Group's full on-site coverage, the U.S.-based crew returns stateside to present Liverpool v. Everton in the Merseyside Derby on Wednesday, April 20, at 3 p.m. ET on NBCSN.
NBC Sports Group's full overseas coverage features on-site studios for pre-match, halftime and post-game shows as well as pitch-side locations just a few feet from the playing field. PREMIER LEAGUE LIVE host Arlo White returns to his U.K. play-by-play post after two weeks in the U.S., along with U.S.-based analysts Robbie Earle, Kyle Martino and Robbie Mustoe. They will join NBC's UK-based team of Lee Dixon, Graeme Le Saux and Steve Bower for more than 21 hours of live on-site Premier League coverage across four days.
This Saturday the team will be at Stamford Bridge for eight hours of live coverage, featuring a match between the last two Premier League champions when Chelsea host Manchester City at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC, with Bower, Earle and Dixon in the on-site studio; White, Le Saux, and Martino pitch-side; and White calling the match alongside Mustoe.
This Sunday NBC Sports Group presents over six hours of live coverage from the King Power Stadium, where the atmosphere will be electric at the home of first-place Leicester City as they face West Ham United (8:30 a.m. ET on NBCSN). Bower will be joined in the studio by Le Saux and Martino; while White, Dixon and Mustoe provide the pitch-side perspective; and White calls the match with Earle. The Foxes came one step closer to their title dreams with a 2-0 win over Sunderland yesterday.
On Monday, NBC Sports Group's announce team travels to the Britannia Stadium for Stoke City v. second-place Tottenham, who will be looking to close in on Leicester, at 3 p.m. ET on NBCSN. Bower will be joined in the studio by Dixon and Mustoe; while White, Earle and Le Saux provide the pitch-side perspective joined by U.S. Men's National Team and Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard; and White calls the match with Martino. Tottenham shut down fifth-place Manchester United 3-0 yesterday, and hope to overcome the seven-point gap between them and Leicester City before "Championship Sunday" rolls around.
On Tuesday, April 19, NBC Sports Group continues its six consecutive days of live match coverage from St. James' Park, with White, Dixon, and Le Saux hosting studio coverage beginning at 2 p.m. ET, followed by Newcastle v. Manchester City at 2:45 p.m. ET on NBCSN.
Live Premier League coverage continues Wednesday, April 20, with the Merseyside Derby between Everton and Liverpool at 3 p.m. ET on NBCSN and NBC UNIVERSO, and Thursday, April 21 with Arsenal v. West Bromwich Albion on NBCSN. Bower will host PREMIER LEAGUE LIVE from Wednesday, April 20 through the remainder of the season, which concludes on Championship Sunday, May 15.
This week's Premier League coverage begins on Wednesday, April 13, with PREMIER LEAGUE LIVE at 2 p.m. ET followed by Crystal Palace v. Everton at 3 p.m. ET. CSN Mid Atlantic's Sebastian Salazar hosts PREMIER LEAGUE LIVE on Wednesday, joined by Earle and Martino.
