Great news. I’m a rugby (union and league) fan also and NBCSN will have more matches airing than bein did.

Monday is "National Huddersfield Town Day" on @NBCSN. The team's story, and David Wagner's approach to Life, are equally Incredible 👊🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/36FYZvh4mx

And all the streaming, even if it's on NBCSN.

Thx,

Jay!

 

F1 took more hours than the Six Nations. In total, NBCSN will have more airtime for the English Premier League, and perhaps other European soccer leagues.

 

That's the spirit!

NBCSN debuts the final episode of the special, three-part series Promoted Presented by Volkswagen this Monday, October 16. Roger Bennett of The Men in Blazers, who hosts the series, traveled to the United Kingdom to visit with managers and players to tell the stories of the three clubs promoted for this 2017-2018 Premier League season.

The final episode, which focuses on Huddersfield Town, debuts on NBCSN this Monday at 1:00 pm ET. The show is followed by the latest Premier League Download: Inside The Mind Of David Wagner at 1:30 pm ET. Both shows will also be available on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app.

Promoted: Huddersfield Town (Monday at 1:00 pm ET on NBCSN) - Bennett examines Huddersfield’s remarkable journey from winning three straight titles in the 1920’s, to being on the brink of extinction 14 years ago, to now playing in their first ever Premier League season. He also analyzes the Terriers’ underdog mentality under head coach David Wagner. The show features interviews with Wagner, captain Tommy Smith and midfielder and United States international Danny Williams.

Premier League Download: Inside The Mind Of David Wagner (Monday at 1:30 pm ET on NBCSN) - Bennett takes an in-depth look at Wagner and the journey that led him to Huddersfield Town. He chronicles Wagner’s playing career, which included eight caps for the United States Men's National Team, his time spent away from football, and his close relationship with current Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

So, I’ve mentioned we always do a game on site if it’s on #NBC. That game is Wat-Ars. So, for #LFC v #MUFC welcome @RaeComm, & @fizzer18 👍👏

Derek Rae... he's been around quite a while, but he's a pro and I think he generally still got his mojo. Happy to see him call some EPL games on NBC.

 

My TV thinks NBCSN and CNBC are showing Crystal Palace vs. Chelsea.

 

Greatly enjoyed sharing an @NBCSportsSoccer mic with @fizzer18. Thanks to @julesmakeup70 for the pic. pic.twitter.com/ie5hLbIp0K

Just found out about the Rae news right now.

I wish FOX would have hired him instead. Would have enjoyed his call of the World Cup.

 

Newcastle United is the biggest team behind the NBC Sports Gold paywall this coming weekend.

Newcastle streams match day radio broadcast from their website for free.

Thx,

Jay!

 

I'm actually surprised that's allowed to get through to the US. Wait, shhh, let's stop talking about it.

 

It was paid up until about a year ago. They're not the only team offering I'm pretty sure.

Thx,

Jay!

 

There will not be Premier League Live on NBCSN Saturday at 12:00 P.M., so anybody who wants the lineups for the 12:30 P.M. game has to go online or wait for the start when I'm assuming they will be on the bottom of the screen.

 

Lineups are announced an hour before the game and most likely will scroll during the 10am game(s).

If not, internet.

Thx,

Jay!

 

There are also more conflicts between EPL and 6-nations rugby than EPL and F1. Most F1 events aren't even in Europe anymore so we're talking about a totally different time zone. Plus the big day is on Sunday (when there are fewer EPL games).

For six nations rugby most fixtures are on Saturday. For the first 2 rounds of the 2018 championship, matches will kick-off Saturday at 9h15ET and 11h45ET (that creates conflicts with all EPL 3 time-slots) as well as Sunday at 10h00 ET.

Well, that's all assuming that the rugby will be shown live (something BeIN rarely did IIRC).

 

Agreed. But this is also good news. i.e. hearing him every weekend.

During Liverpool v Man Utd I kept hearing that 900 million people were watching worldwide. lol Where do they get these numbers from? That can't be right...

 

3 days of @premierleague action are the best 💪#PLonNBC pic.twitter.com/twqCil0NP9
