Tonight's fixtures

Browse by competition

FootyBite is an independent editorial guide to the US soccer TV calendar. We list the fixtures the way an East Coast Saturday paper would: kickoff converted to your timezone, the broadcaster next to the match, and a short editorial note when a kickoff is worth losing the morning to.

We cover the Premier League on NBC, the Champions League on Paramount+, MLS on Apple TV, plus US-relevant cup fixtures and the international windows when the USMNT and USWNT play.

Who broadcasts soccer in the US, briefly

The US soccer-rights map is the most fragmented in the Anglosphere. Five paid streamers and two broadcast networks share the calendar between them.

  • NBC Peacock and USA Network hold the Premier League rights through 2028. Most matches stream on Peacock, while the marquee Saturday-morning fixtures air on USA Network and on NBC’s free-to-air network on selected weekends.
  • Paramount+ and CBS carry the Champions League and Europa League. CBS picks up a handful of high-profile knockout ties free-to-air, with Spanish-language coverage on Univision and TUDN.
  • Apple TV+ holds the exclusive MLS rights through 2032 via the MLS Season Pass add-on, which is sold separately from the standard Apple TV+ subscription.
  • ESPN+ carries La Liga, the FA Cup and the Bundesliga.
  • Paramount+ also carries Serie A under the rights cycle that runs through 2029.
  • Fox Sports carries the men’s and women’s World Cups when they come around.

We list official rights-holders only and never describe, recommend or link to unauthorised streams.

Pricing in May 2026

Standard monthly subscriptions, as of May 2026:

  • Peacock Premium — $7.99/month with ads, $13.99/month ad-free. The $7.99 tier carries every Premier League match live; the ad-free tier adds nothing for sports viewers.
  • Paramount+ Essential — $7.99/month with ads, or Paramount+ with Showtime at $12.99/month. Both tiers include every Champions League and Europa League match live.
  • Apple TV+ base subscription — $9.99/month. MLS Season Pass is $14.99/month standalone ($99 for the season), or $12.99/month ($79 for the season) for existing Apple TV+ subscribers.
  • ESPN+ — $11.99/month standalone, or $16.99/month bundled with Hulu and Disney+.
  • ViX Premium — $6.99/month, the cheapest legal route to live Champions League coverage in the US (Spanish-language).

A serious follower combining Peacock, Paramount+ Essential and ESPN+ pays roughly $27 to $32 per month for full Premier League, Champions League and La Liga coverage. Adding MLS Season Pass pushes the monthly bill closer to $45.
