NBC Sports are taking the show on the road for the start of the 2017/18 Premier League season.

For the first time, NBC Sports Group’s U.S-based coverage team will broadcast live from the United Kingdom for the entire opening weekend of the new season.

It all starts at the 2017/18 curtain raiser, at Emirates Stadium on Friday 11 August for the 2.45pm ET kick-off between Arsenal and Leicester City, as NBC Sports mark the Premier League’s first-ever Friday start by taking you closer to the action than ever before.

Coverage begins at 1pm ET on NBCSN with a special one-hour season preview show followed by Premier League Live.

On Saturday 12 August the team travel south to the Amex Stadium for Brighton & Hove Albion’s debut Premier League outing, against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City at 12.30pm ET. Premier League Mornings begin Saturday at 7am ET with Premier League Live.

The UK coverage comes to an end on Sunday 13 August at Old Trafford to take in Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez’s return to Manchester United with West Ham United at 11am ET on NBCSN.

Rebecca Lowe will host the live pre and post-match shows on-site at each match, joined by a team of analysts including the U.S-based team of Robbie Earle, Kyle Martino and Robbie Mustoe.

Arlo White will call the matches and make pre-match and post-match appearances from NBC’s pitchside locations. Earle, Martino and Mustoe will each call a match with White and will join NBC’s UK-based team of Lee Dixon and Graeme Le Saux for nearly 20 hours of live on-site Premier League coverage across three days.
