Summary
Five Premier League matches are on Saturday as the 2026-27 season resumes 33 days after the World Cup, with all 20 clubs set to play 38 games through May 30.
All 380 matches will be available in the U.S. across Peacock, NBC, NBCSN and USA Network, while UK viewers can watch only 267 because the 3 p.m. blackout remains in place.
Sky Sports will carry 215 UK games and all 10 final-day matches, while TNT Sports has 52, including two full midweek rounds in February and March.
NBC returns Rebecca Lowe, Robbie Earle, Robbie Mustoe and Tim Howard for U.S. coverage, while Sky and TNT keep familiar pundit lineups and BBC's Match of the Day adds Thomas Frank, Robbie Keane and Toby Alderweireld.
The season started later than usual because of the World Cup and includes a congested holiday stretch, with clubs currently due to play four matches in 12 days from Dec. 26 to Jan. 6.
