English Premier League gets a big American stage on NBC

"The network will typically show three matches live on Saturdays (two on NBC Sports Network, the network’s cable channel, and one on NBC), two on Sundays and one on Mondays (all on NBCSN) through the nine-month campaign. Coverage will also appear on three other properties: CNBC, Spanish-language Telemundo and mun2, a bilingual channel geared toward young viewers.
Games not available on standard outlets will appear on overflow channels at no charge to cable and satellite subscribers who receive NBCSN. (Many, but not all, systems are participating.) NBC Sports Live Extra, the network’s online streaming service, will provide coverage of every match for desktops, tablets and mobile devices."
" An uncomplicated sports tier with your satellite/cable provider this season will get you the English Premier League (NBC/NBC Sports), Major League Soccer (NBC Sports/ESPN 2), the U.S. and Mexican men's national team (ESPN/ESPN 2), Mexican soccer (ESPN/Univision), and the UEFA Champions League and English FA Cup (Fox Sports 1 -- debuting next week). With a bit more investment, you can catch Italy's Serie A, Spain's La Liga and France's Ligue 1 on BeIN Sport.
Note: You might need a compass, a sherpa and a lot of patience to find GolTV -- which offers German's Bundesliga and Holland's Eredivise. It's not as easy to find these days. Which is a shame as Bayern Munich might be the world's best team and Borussia Dortmund -- a personal favorite -- is among the most entertaining.
But the mainstreaming of soccer is being pushed by NBC, as the network goes all-in on soccer. (You can tell because they sent my former colleague and great sportswriter Joe Posnanski to England to write about soccer.)
Starting tomorrow, NBC will embark on an ambitious plan to air all 380 EPL matches -- whether on NBC/NBC Sports, its plethora of cable stations, a Premier League Extra Time bonus TV package AND the internet. They will show 20 full games on NBC proper, starting with Manchester United vs. Swansea tomorrow at 11:30 a.m."
