NBC Sports has announced its commentary lineup for the opening weekend of the Premier League.
Arlo White will be announcing two games, starting with the Chelsea against Swansea game on the over-the-air NBC network on Saturday from 12:30-2:30pm ET. Afterwards, he’ll be leaving Stamford Bridge and will then announce the Arsenal against West Ham game on Sunday morning US time from Emirates Stadium.
In regards to the other commentator assignments, the only surprise this season compared to last is the inclusion of David Prutton as the co-commentator for the Norwich vs. Crystal Palace game. This will be the first time that many in the States will be hearing Prutton (see our guide to UK soccer announcers).
For soccer fans outside of the United States, Martin Tyler will be announcing Sunday’s Stoke City versus Liverpool match.
