The cheapest way to watch Premier League in USA homes for the 2026-27 season is Peacock Premium at around $12.99 a month, combined with a free antenna for NBC and Telemundo. Peacock streams its large package of exclusive matches plus every match NBC airs, so this pair covers the majority of the season. The catch: matches on USA Network no longer stream on Peacock, so seeing every game requires a TV or live TV login on top.
NBCUniversal holds the English-language US rights again this season, with Telemundo and Universo handling Spanish. Here is how the matches are split, what each option costs, and the setup that gives the most soccer per dollar. Prices are around what each service charged at the time of writing.
Where the 2026-27 Premier League airs in the USA
| Platform | What it carries | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| NBC | The biggest weekend matches | Free with an antenna, also streams on Peacock |
| Peacock | All NBC matches live plus a large set of Peacock-only matches and full replays | Peacock Premium subscription |
| USA Network | The main cable home of the league, including midweek and extra weekend matches | Cable or a live TV streaming service; not on Peacock |
| NBCSN | Some matches, sometimes alongside Peacock | Selected pay-TV and live TV providers |
| Telemundo and Universo | Spanish-language coverage of selected matches | Telemundo free with an antenna; Universo on pay TV; Spanish feeds also on Peacock |
The season began on Friday, August 21, 2026, with Arsenal hosting Coventry City on USA Network, a good example of why Peacock alone is not quite everything.
Cost comparison: every legal option
| Option | Share of matches | Approx. price at the time of writing |
|---|---|---|
| Antenna (NBC + Telemundo) | NBC matches in English, selected matches in Spanish | Free after a one-time $20 to $60 |
| Peacock Premium | Peacock exclusives plus all NBC matches (most of the season) | About $12.99/mo or $129.99/yr |
| Peacock Premium Plus | Same matches; ad-free on-demand library (live sport still has ads) | About $19.99/mo |
| Fubo (includes USA Network) | USA Network and NBC matches, plus other soccer channels | About $74 to $85/mo |
| YouTube TV base plan | USA Network, NBC and NBCSN | About $82.99/mo |
| Peacock + live TV service | Every match | About $95 or more per month |
Peacock raised its prices in August 2026. Premium went from $10.99 to $12.99 a month, so older guides quoting $10.99 are out of date. Existing monthly subscribers moved to the new price from their first bill on or after September 17.
Why Peacock is the best value for most fans
Peacock Premium carries the biggest slice of the season. You get the Peacock-only matches, every match that airs on NBC, full replays of NBC and Peacock matches shortly after the final whistle, plus studio shows and highlights. For a fan of one club, that usually means most of their team’s matches.
- Pay yearly if you are sure: the annual plan at around $129.99 works out to about $10.83 a month for the full season.
- Check bundled access: Peacock Premium has been included with Walmart+ memberships, and some mobile and internet plans include it too.
- Students: NBC Sports has promoted a Peacock student discount at around $5.99 a month for eligible students.
- Skip Premium Plus for soccer: it does not add any matches, and live sports still show ads.
How to cover the USA Network matches cheaply
USA Network is now part of Versant, the cable network company spun off from NBCUniversal, and its matches no longer stream on Peacock. That leaves three legal ways to see them:
- Use an existing login. If anyone in your household already pays for cable or a live TV service, the USA Network and NBC Sports apps may let you sign in at no extra cost.
- Subscribe only for key months. Live TV services are monthly. Pick up a service that carries USA Network for a run of big fixtures, such as the festive period or the title run-in, and cancel afterward. Fubo offers a short free trial for new users.
- Accept the gap. If your club rarely lands on USA Network, Peacock plus an antenna may be enough, and you can watch highlights for the rest.
Always check your plan’s channel list before paying, because carriage of USA Network and NBCSN can differ between plans and change during the season.
Watching in Spanish for free
Telemundo is a free broadcast network, so an antenna gives you its Spanish-language Premier League matches at no cost. Universo, the sister cable channel, carries more matches and needs a pay-TV or live TV subscription. Peacock also offers Spanish-language coverage of many matches.

Budget setups for different fans
| Fan type | Setup | Rough monthly cost |
|---|---|---|
| Casual fan, big games only | Antenna for NBC and Telemundo | $0 after the antenna |
| Follows one club closely | Antenna + Peacock Premium (annual) | About $11 |
| Wants nearly everything | Peacock Premium + an existing cable login for USA Network | About $13 if a login is available |
| Wants every match, no logins | Peacock Premium + a live TV service with USA Network | About $95 or more |
A word on shortcuts: using a VPN to watch overseas broadcasters or unofficial streams breaks those services’ terms and may break the law. IPTV technology is legal, but a provider is only legal if it holds the rights to what it streams, so check licensing and your local law.
Which option should you choose?
Start with Peacock Premium. It is the single cheapest subscription with the most Premier League matches, and an antenna adds the NBC and Telemundo broadcasts for free in case you are away from Peacock. Only add a live TV service if your club keeps landing on USA Network, and only for the months that matter. That way most fans pay well under $15 a month for the season.
