What is confirmed—and what is not

The same season’s reverse fixture, Manchester United vs. Arsenal, is scheduled for Saturday, February 27, 2027. Neither match should be treated as having a confirmed time merely because the initial fixture list shows a Saturday date. The Premier League’s normal 3 p.m. weekend convention does not establish this match’s kickoff.
Broadcast selections are announced progressively. Recheck the Premier League fixture page, both clubs’ fixture pages and the local broadcaster’s schedule after the match is selected.
United States: NBC, USA Network and Peacock
NBC Sports holds U.S. Premier League rights through the current cycle. Its 2026/27 guide says all 380 matches will be distributed across NBC, USA Network and Peacock. That identifies the coverage framework, not this match’s eventual channel.

Peacock
Peacock carries selected live Premier League matches, including some NBC simulcasts, and offers replays. Wait for the individual Arsenal–Manchester United listing before buying Peacock specifically for this fixture.
NBC broadcast network
If NBC receives the assignment, access depends on your local affiliate, antenna, cable or satellite package, or a live-TV streaming service that carries NBC. Free over-the-air viewing is possible only if the match is actually scheduled there and your local affiliate is available.
USA Network
A USA Network assignment normally requires a qualifying pay-TV package or live-TV streaming service. Services such as YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo or DIRECTV STREAM may carry the channel in some markets; verify your ZIP code, channel lineup and current price.

- Most matches: compare Peacock with a live-TV package carrying NBC and USA.

- Existing TV subscription: try the NBC Sports or Peacock app using your provider credentials after the listing appears.
Official schedule and access information is also available through NBC Sports’ Premier League page and NBC.
United Kingdom and Ireland
The Premier League lists Sky Sports and TNT Sports as UK live-rights holders for the current 2025/26–2027/28 cycle. The December match’s allocation has not been published. Check both schedules when the fixture is selected. Discovery+ may be relevant to TNT Sports distribution, depending on the current package. BBC Sport is the highlights partner, not the normal live-match provider. Republic of Ireland arrangements differ, so Irish viewers should verify the local listing; Premier Sports may be an option subject to the match and package.

“From anywhere” means where legal rights permit. Streaming rights are territorial: a subscription bought at home may fail abroad or require a local account, payment method, app-store region or TV-provider login. Check the service’s travel and location terms before departure. A VPN is not a guaranteed or necessarily supported solution and may conflict with a provider’s terms. Do not use pirate streams, unauthorized IPTV, mirror sites or “free live stream” aggregators.

Do not convert a time that has not been announced. Once the Premier League confirms kickoff, convert it for UK time, U.S. Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific, Central European Time, India Standard Time and Australia Eastern Time. December’s daylight-saving differences make a guessed conversion especially error-prone.
