NBC to launch paid subscription English Premier League soccer streaming service

After four seasons of making online streaming of non-televised English Premier League games available only through its streaming platform for TV subscribers, NBC is ready to launch its own paid subscription package for cord cutters who want to watch those games. It will do so by taking those games away from the free-with-authentication Live Extra platform, and putting them exclusively on the paid platform.

The paid subscription package will include approximately 130 games, and cost $49.99 for the season. It will be hosted on NBC Sports Gold, the network’s streaming platform that offers sport-by-sport subscriptions for cycling, track and field and rugby, among other sports.
