For years, NBC has promoted “My PL Mornings,” encouraging Americans to wake up early, turn on the TV and watch the English Premier League. I, like many in this country, obliged, shuffling out of bed while still half awake, stumbling to the couch and turning the TV on to NBCSN to watch the Prem.
Alas, as with many things in 2020, this beloved ritual has come to an end.
The 2020-21 Bundesliga season started on Friday. Starting this season, ESPN has the U.S. TV rights to the league. For this reason, the Worldwide Leader is actually paying attention to the German league, which is a nice change of pace given FOX’s disappointing coverage of the Bundesliga in recent years.
ESPN's been mostly ignoring the Bundesliga for years, but now that it's on ESPN+ suddenly it's the world's funnest league to watch! pic.twitter.com/dFpMhhmNpD
Haven’t gotten enough of José Mourinho over the past 20 years or through All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur? Well he’s forcing his way onto your TV screen again through the medium of a new Netflix documentary titled The Playbook, which releases globally on Tuesday, Sept. 22.
American football is one of the most watched sports in the United States, but domestic soccer — the world’s football — usually falls by the wayside.
Out of all the soccer leagues across the pond, the English Premier League is the most popular in the U.S., while the NFL is facing a somewhat uncertain time.
The 2019-20 season, like all things in 2020, proved to be different. Viewership for both of these professional leagues was turned on its head. So what is the average EPL vs. NFL viewership?
The Premier League is back, sooner than ever. And with the Covid-19 pandemic still raging across the U.S., more fans will be watching from home instead of crowding into pubs, taverns and bars. More than ever, you’ll want to read our annual Premier League TV guide for how to watch and stream the EPL in the U.S.
The Premier League has cancelled its contract with Chinese broadcasters PPLive Sports International after just one season, the league said in a statement on Thursday.
The broadcasters, part of retail group Suning, paid around $700 million for three years of English Premier League (EPL) streaming rights from the 2019-20 season.
I’ll admit, I quite enjoyed watched the end of this season’s UEFA Women’s Champions League thanks to CBS All Access making them easy to view (if not a bit expensive given the monthly fee). I’m sure I wasn’t the only one, as NWSL fans may have kept their All Access subs for the Champions League. And now I’m sure many Americans are wondering how to watch WSL in the U.S. for the 2020-21 season.
Former Premier League goalkeeper and USMNT great Tim Howard is dusting off his old analyst skills as he is set to rejoin NBC’s Premier League coverage for the 2020-21 season.
NBC made the announcement on Tuesday that Howard will be back in the studio ranks.
The former Manchester United and Everton goalkeeper worked with the network for three years. NBC got the rights to the league in 2013.
Univision is celebrating a wildly successful month of Champions League broadcasts. The Spanish-language broadcaster set four U.S. television records in August, capped by record-breaking Champions League final TV ratings from Bayern Munich’s thrilling 1-0 win over PSG on Sunday.
CBS, meanwhile, is being given The18’s coveted participation ribbon, seeing as it has yet to release any sort of data on its Champions League final TV ratings.
On Thursday, July 23, Liga MX returned with the beginning of the 2020 Apertura season (renamed Guardianes to honor healthcare workers). When Atlético San Luis and Juárez took to the pitch, it marked 130 days since the 2020 Clausura season was brought to an abrupt halt and eventually canceled. It’d been four long months, but we now have the complete Liga MX TV schedule to pore over. We'll keep this updated with the latest matches as the season moves along!
