NBC Sports will launch a free preview of their Premier League Pass streaming service from NBC Sports Gold this weekend.
Priced at $50 per year, this is the first time this season that NBC Sports Gold has offered a free preview, which will include all of the Premier League matches exclusive to NBC Sports Gold as well as the shoulder programming available from Premier League Productions.
The free preview coincides with this Saturday’s Premier League Mornings Live fan fest in Washington DC.
Last season, NBC Sports advertised they would feature 130 games via the NBC Sports Gold Premier League Pass paid subscription service, but due to the way the matches were scheduled, NBC Sports ended up showing 150 games on NBC Sports Gold. Having learned from last season, NBC Sports will offer 150 exclusive Premier League games via NBC Sports Gold. Those games are exclusive to NBC Sports Gold.
The free preview is only available to new users.

Interesting. As a fan of big six team I’m not sure worth it. Xfinity already forced me into $10 dollar sling package for Spain and France. Espn+ I purchased for mls rights so serie a was huge bonus. Bleacher report also 10 per month. I may be the oddball who loves Europa league. That alone was enough to get my money
I wonder with COMCAST buying 61% of Sky at auction for $40b and the remaining 39% from 21st Century Fox for $15b if we will see more Sky Sports coverage on NBCSN.
Why do you have to give a credit card number for a free preview?
So that when you forget to cancel they can make money off your forgetfulness.
