NBC Sports Gold launches free preview weekend

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.

With the free preview, you can watch the following games this weekend (all kickoff times are in the Eastern timezone):
