This season, Peacock will stream all games airing on the broadcast network live. Peacock will live stream 17 Premier League matches in August, including two of the three matches played by Christian Pulisic and Champions League winner Chelsea. Fourteen of the games on Peacock will be exclusive to the streaming service. In addition, Peacock will feature studio shows, full match replays and the Premier League TV channel. All matchdays and windows exclusively on Peacock will feature NBC Sports’ Premier League studio coverage.

For the first time, Telemundo Deportes’ Andres Cantor will call select Premier League matches in English. A legendary soccer announcer who is being inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame this fall, Cantor’s English-language match calls will offer an additional live experience on NBCUniversal platforms including Peacock.
