This is what Matchweek 2 looks like. Just look at all of the Peacock matches.

Re: 2020-2021 English Football Thread

What's weird is it seems to be shifting around a lot. Currently, Arsenal v West Ham is listed for NBCSN, but this weekend it was listed that it would be on Peacock.

I think they've actually moved more to Peacock for this upcoming weekend than they had scheduled. I'm certain of it, actually, as my decision to get Peacock Premium was seeing that a few matches a week would be on it, that I wanted to watch (such as Arsenal v West Ham), but now it's damn near every match, which was not the case this weekend when I looked ahead.

So as I understand it, peacock isn’t any (much?) different than the Gold Pass from before, as far as EPL is concerned, right?

Gold Pass was an annual $50, and this (premium) is $5 (or whatever it is) per month?

But as far as coverage goes, it’s still mostly the same—yes?

I mean, according to this week's schedule, there will be ZERO regular coverage until 2 PM Central. No Saturday morning football! Also, no Sunday morning football! I'm just beyond pissed, right now. They just continue to push more and more behind a paywall.

Ok yeah I see your point now. There was a match on NBCSN at 0730 and 1000 followed by the national coverage NBC at 1230.

I see most here are Peacock. Womp.

I don’t mind the $5/month to be honest. I’m more put out at the $35 I have to spend for all the other channels I don’t use.

But whatever.

NBC pushed and pushed that #MyPremierLeagueMornings thing. Guess it should change to #MyPremierLeagueMorningsAsLongAsYoureWillingToPayE xtra. They're slowly killing any growth they were having in this country.

I get why some would feel like this, but let's be honest. We've gotten a sweet deal compared to what this costs them to broadcast. They've certainly been eating huge losses since they got the rights. Now you have the choice of paying or continuing to watch them for free with less reliability.

Yeah, for $5/month, they can keep putting as many matches as they'd like on Peacock Premium. For years I've waited for a Premier League single streaming service. Every game available live, every game available on replay. I'd drop a solid yearly subscription fee for that.

Yeah man. I’m old enough to recall when we used to get 1-2 matches a week if we were lucky.

I still remember watching the Chelsea-United 07/08 on Univision because it was the only way for me on my tv.

My ONLY issue is with Peacock not being available on Roku

This.

I just wish I could eliminate the need for a “subscription “ to all the other crap I don’t need lol.

Re: 2020-2021 English Football Thread

I'd actually be happy if they put every single game on Peacock. Because then I'd only need one $5 sub to watch all Prem games. Instead of having to pay $35-$65 a month for just NBCSN on a streaming service as well, plus $5 for Peacock. I hate having to paying that ever month just for on damn channel during the season. I'd even be happy to pay $10 a month for Peacock if it had every single game.

Re: 2020-2021 English Football Thread

Well, I pay extra for NBCSN on my DirecTV account. So, where is the compensation for that. Doesn't seem fair at all. I pay that to watch the Premier League and now, it looks like they won't be showing many matches. This is going to push the casual fans away from the product. It just is.

Re: 2020-2021 English Football Thread

So I am finding out why the shuffles have happened. NBC has made the decision to broadcast the Tour de France (this usually happens in July, but was delayed) on Saturday and Sunday morning on NBCSN. Originally they planned to shift the TdF over to CNBC for Saturday and Sunday morning, but now it shows up on NBCSN's listings as of today. This is certainly because it is the final two stages.

Watch the TdF, btw, it's pretty sweet. Just record and fast forward through most stopping at key points like climbs, sprints, and the finish.

Casual EPL fans will just watch what they're given. And NBCSN isn't the Premier League Channel. It might be for you, but for many it's not at all.

Good job getting the scoop.

Often I remember late spring games on NBC often get moved due to NHL playoffs.

Glad there’s a least an (apparent) reason..
