STAMFORD, Conn. – Feb. 5, 2020 – NBC Sports will present live television coverage of all ten matchweek fixtures over the next two weekends as a part of the PL’s “winter break,” marking the first time that every match will air live in its own television window.

Additionally, Telemundo Deportes will present all matches in Spanish on Telemundo, Universo, or digitally – the first time an entire 10-game matchweek will be presented in Spanish.
Headlining this weekend’s slate of four matches is Sergio Aguero and second-place Manchester City hosting West Ham on Sunday, Feb. 9, at 11:30 a.m. ET on NBCSN and Telemundo. Manchester City look to rebound from last week’s loss to Tottenham, while West Ham aim to turn around their recent form which has seen them drop into the relegation zone.

Coverage resumes next Friday, Feb. 14, with an hour-long Premier League Live at 2 p.m. ET on NBCSN, leading into third-place Leicester City visiting Wolverhampton Wanderers at 3 p.m. ET (NBCSN and Universo). Leicester City, led by the PL’s leading scorer Jamie Vardy (17 goals), look to close the gap on second-place Manchester City, while Wolves sit six points outside of the top-four.
On Saturday, Feb.15, Mohamed Salah and first-place Liverpool, who are unbeaten in their last 42 PL matches (37 wins, five draws) dating back to last season, and sit 22 points ahead of second-place Manchester City as they aim for their first-ever PL title, travel to face Norwich City at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Universo.
“Winter break” concludes on Presidents’ Day, Monday, Feb. 17, when Tammy Abraham and fourth-place Chelsea host newly signed Bruno Fernandes and seventh-place Manchester United at 3 p.m. ET on NBCSN and Universo.

West Ham (Sunday, Feb. 9 on NBCSN), Norwich City v. Liverpool (Saturday, Feb. 15 on NBC), and Chelsea v. Manchester United (Monday, Feb. 17 on NBCSN).
