It’s certainly a good value to get the matches, but it comes with the caveat that it includes an auto-renewal of $64.99 for next season once the July 31st date arrives. If you’re not a Comcast customer with a X1 or Flex, NBC Sports Gold is offering a reduced rate of $9.99 for the remainder of the 2019/20 season through July 31. But not all Comcast Xfinity subscribers - only those with X1 or Flex. Peacock Premium isn’t available to the general public until July 15, so only Comcast Xfinity customers can access it. Having said that, soccer fans have to jump more hoops than they did before to watch Premier League soccer. But again, NBC Sports Gold is another option for that game, so it’s not the end of the world. The only exception is the July 1st clash between Arsenal and Norwich, which may ruffle the feathers of Gunners supporters. In all seven of those games, they feature lower tier Premier League clubs. Soccer fans without Peacock can watch those seven via NBC Sports Gold as another option.


In total between June 17 and July 2, Peacock Premium will stream seven matches from the Premier League. That match, which will also be available via NBC Sports Gold, is just the starting point. But with today’s news, NBC Sports has decided to accelerate the start date to June 20 with the live broadcast of Bournemouth against Crystal Palace on Peacock Premium. With the July 15 public launch of Peacock - NBC’s streaming answer to the competition’s Disney+, CBS All-Access and Hulu - the expectation was that non-televised matches of the Premier League would begin on Peacock in August 2020. And as each season has passed, NBC Sports has used the Premier League to find new and innovative ways to increase their revenue as well as locking in viewers to keep their cable or satellite TV subscription.

The world has changed a lot since NBC’s Premier League debut in 2013. The days of NBC Sports making every single Premier League game available “for free” to soccer fans in the United States who had access to NBC Sports Live Extra are long gone. What is Peacock and why should fans of Premier League clubs care?
