Thousands of U.S fans headed to Orlando, Florida to join the Premier League and NBC Sports for the Premier League Mornings Live fan festival on 21 and 22 January.

The two-day fan event at Universal CityWalk, Universal Orlando Resort’s entertainment complex, featured live action from Premier League fixtures presented across NBC, Peacock, USA Network, Telemundo and Universo.

Premier League Hall of Fame Inductee Alan Shearer plus former players including Gary Cahill and Carlton Cole, joined the NBC Sports' studio team of Rebecca Lowe, Robbie Earle, Robbie Mustoe and Tim Howard as special guests.

Cole, who starred for Chelsea and West Ham United, hung out with PGA pro Billy Horschel and other Hammers' fans as they watched the east London side secure a big win over relegation rivals Everton.

Telemundo Deportes provided on-location reports from the Fan Fest into weekend coverage on Telemundo and Universo, and they captured the weekend's brilliant family-friendly atmosphere.

Mascots from clubs including Manchester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Crystal Palace flew over to join in the fun, while Nottingham Forest offered a signed 2022/23 Jesse Lingard home shirt and personalised video message in a special competition for their U.S fans.

The Orlando fan festival was the eighth Premier League Mornings Live supporter event to be presented by NBC Sports and the Premier League, and the second this season, following the Philadelphia fan fest in October 2022.

Previous fan festivals were held in Washington D.C., New York, Boston, Austin, Miami Beach and Los Angeles.
