SCHEDULE CHANGE: NBCSN TO TELEVISE JOZY ALTIDORE AND SUNDERLAND AGAINST SOUTHAMPTON SATURDAY AT 10 A.M. ET
All Matches Available on NBC Sports Live Extra
STAMFORD, Conn. – August 20, 2013 — NBC Sports Group’s Premier League coverage continues this week with five games on NBCSN and one on NBC. In a schedule change, the Southampton-Sunderland match featuring Sunderland striker and U.S. Men’s National Team star Jozy Altidore has been moved into the Saturday 10 a.m. ET slot on NBCSN.
Altidore played all 90 minutes of Sunderland’s 1-0 loss to Fulham last Saturday. Just three days earlier, his second-half hat trick propelled the U.S. team to a 4-3 come-from-behind win over Bosnia and Herzegovina in an international friendly.
The four additional games in the Saturday 10 a.m. time slot will be available on Premier League Extra Time, a bonus television package available to MVPDs at no extra cost for customers who receive NBC Sports Network.
Two matches will be telecast in Spanish by mun2 this week (listed in table below).
Lead play-by-play voice Arlo White joins former Premier League star and four-time league champion Lee Dixon to call Aston Villa-Liverpool Saturday at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC. White and Graeme Le Saux, the former Premier League star who played in 36 international matches for England, will call the Manchester United-Chelsea match at 3 p.m. ET on Monday.
All matches will be preceded and followed by Premier League Live pre- and post-match shows from the NBC Sports Group International Broadcast Center in Stamford, Conn.
