Have to say I like the coverage and the options so far. As long as they don't screw up the only match of the day that matters......
NBC Sports is getting the Premier League Next Season

How do you use the LiveExtra website? I see the games they have showing but I can't click on them or open any actual video
You have to authenticate with a cable provider account. Also, if you're using Chrome on a Mac, it might not work. I had to use it in Firefox.
Hmm. I think it's time for a smart tv.
Yeah, the video quality is light years beyond the dodgy streams I used to watch last season.
What are you guys talking about? Does NBC have a live streaming feature?
Yes, their website is showing all of the games live in great quality (on their web and on their apps). Need to have an existing TV service for it to work though.
Cheers for the tips. Tried Firefox, no different. I don't even see where it wants me to authenticate, there's nothing clickable on the Live Extra page for me. I tried to find their app in the App Store but couldn't, the NBC page just links to apple.com. I'm confused.
The app is called "Live Extra" or NBC Live Extra.
That live extra app is awful, constantly freezing up on my phone.

I quite happy with this. Mostly because I got frustrated with a really choppy stream and realized I could just turn on my tv and get the match over the air in HD.
Ahh so it wouldn't work with me considering I steal cable. Oh well.. I thought the coverage was pretty bad due to the commentator being ahead of the actual game..
could watch any of the matches. windows 7. very good streaming.
Yeah, they mentioned they had audio trouble and had to pull the audio feed from the international English broadcast. Hopefully it's fixed by next game.
Happy that the Swansea game had a couple of English commentators. It could have been a lot worse. Hopefully, this was the shape of things to come.
Worked fine on mine with good quality as well.
More pleased with the initial weekend's coverage than I have been with FSC the last few years. Shame they're not carrying La Liga, Bundesliga, or Serie A. I hope to see more MLS matches televised.
same here.
I looked up FSC on the TV guide to see what they're showing (now that nobody's watching them anymore) and I saw they're airing re-runs of Being Liverpool.

they are showing CL coverage on Fox Sports 1. could the other leagues be on that too?
I think they are doing FA Cup and Serie A as well. GolTV has the U.S. rights to the Bundesliga and BeIN sports is showing La Liga and Championship games.
Got to say NBC have got off to a very promising start. FSC's coverage was never as slick, accessible, or comprehensive. And I was a big fan of FSC.
got to check if Xfinity/Comcast has Goltv and BeIN.
EDIT: I assume Fox Sports 1 will show the League cup also? Is it would mean we can see every United match played
Has ESPN3 lost all its rights to the big leagues? I only see Eredivisie and isolated South American games in their listings, do they at least keep Serie A? I enjoyed watching ESPN3 online at work. They do still seem to have the internationals at least.

I think BeIN has the League Cup.
did anyone else catch that bit about Usain Bolt and Man Utd?
Bolt was talking about how he loved watching RVN and then they cut to that picture of our famous Dutch striker and Bolt together.
So the main NBC channel carried United, NBCSN carried a few games and then they had some special channels that were on just for the other games. A few technical glitches but overall coverage seemed good.
wasn't sure how the Match of the Day program would look and when I saw Lineker I thought it's a direct feed with the MOTD music and all that.
But then it became apparent he was just doing a promo for the US version.
Still n'all, can't complain at all. Pretty good coverage and compared to where we were just 5 or 10 years ago I'm loving it.

I figured it out, but it's huge.
as the actress said to ......
There are ways around that too, mate
It's Ruud and Dwight from a 2001/02 training session.
Americans I know generally loathe the American style of commentating.
So far it has been much better than I expected it would be.
I think because outside of that awful club guide show they had, they're not dumbing anything down.
I think this is a bit of a step back for me. Fox staggered all the games, so i could easily avoid the scores, DVR which games i wanted and then watch them.
Now I've got a choice of a couple of games.
I'll be watching a lot less football this season

But it's your choice what to watch. I love that if a game stinks (like the Newcastle game today), I can switch to a game that has more to offer. I end up recording one, watching the others (flipping around to find a good one) and I have one going on my laptop. By the time the 2nd half rolls around I can settle on which game is the best. They also show the other games on replay throughout the week.
your the first person i know who thinks less live games is better. I'd much rather choose what I watch then have to wait until later.
