NBC Sports Live Extra To Stream All 380 Premier League Games
STAMFORD – August 16, 2013 – Tomorrow, Saturday, August 17, NBC Sports Group kicks off the most ambitious, extensive and comprehensive coverage of the Premier League available anywhere in the world. Coverage begins at 7 AM ET on NBCSN with Premier League Live followed by the Liverpool v. Stoke City and continues throughout the season on the networks of NBCUniversal, on the Premier League Extra Time bonus TV package, and streamed on NBC Sports Live Extra.
PREMIER LEAGUE NUMBER OF THE DAY: 1
Only 1 club, West Bromwich Albion, has ever avoided relegation after sitting in last place on Christmas. In what is known as the “Great Escape,” the Baggies were still in the basement entering the final day of the 2004-05 season, but a 2-0 win over Portsmouth allowed them to jump three spots into 17th place and avoid the drop to the second tier.
NBC SPORTS GROUP’S GAME FINDER:
NBC Sports Group has launched an interactive game finder to provide fans with details on how to find Premier League games on TV, online and on mobile devices, each based upon where they live and their TV provider.
