Premier League in 2013, replacing Fox Sports and ESPN. NBC's studio programming for the league includes the pre-match show Premier League Live, and the highlights shows Premier League Goal Zone and Match of the Day (modeled upon the similar BBC series). NBC Sports president of programming Jon Miller explained that their main goal was to not "Americanize" their coverage (besides providing explanations of terminology unfamiliar to U.S. viewers, such as derbies), citing their decision to employ talent (such as former ESPN UK and BBC Sport presenter Rebecca Lowe, who became NBC's lead host) who "know the Premier League and can talk about it intelligently". In 2014, NBC also hired the duo of Michael Davies and Roger Bennett—the "Men in Blazers"—to provide soccer-oriented content across NBC Sports' platforms. NBC renewed its Premier League rights in 2021, extending its contract until the end of the 2027-28 season. During larger matchdays, NBCSN operates pop-up channels branded as Premier League Extra Time, which broadcast overflow matches not shown by other NBC networks. However in 2017, NBC began to paywall many of these overflow games behind the "Premier League Pass" service on NBC Sports Gold. Premier League Pass was in turn phased out in 2020, with its Premier League content transferred to the newly launched Peacock streaming service; Premier League games broadcast on the main NBC network would be simulcast on the service starting the next year. On Survival Sunday, the majority of NBCUniversal's cable networks carry games, including several networks not normally dedicated to sports.
