STAMFORD, Conn. – Sept. 18, 2024 – NBC Sports’ Premier League Mornings Live Fan Fest travels to Chicago this Saturday, September 21, and Sunday, September 22, featuring live coverage of 10 Premier League fixtures across NBC, Peacock, USA Network, Telemundo, and Universo.

Fixtures across five match windows on Saturday and Sunday will be presented live across NBCUniversal platforms, headlined by a matchup between first-place Manchester City and second-place Arsenal this Sunday at 11:30 a.m. ET on USA Network and Telemundo.

Across the two-day fan festival taking place at Chicago’s Lincoln Park, registered fans can get involved in NBC Sports’ live on-site broadcast, meet Premier League legends, and take part in free on-site activities, which include the opportunity to have photos taken with the Premier League Trophy and Club mascots.

NBC Sports’ studio team of host Rebecca Lowe and analysts Robbie Earle, Robbie Mustoe and Tim Howard will broadcast Premier League Mornings Live presented by Barclays from the event Saturday and Sunday, kicking off each day at 7 a.m. ET.

Special guests will join NBC Sports’ coverage throughout the festival, including Premier League champion and former Chelsea captain Gary Cahill, former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira, Chicago PD star Benjamin Aguilar, and more.

Lowe, Earle, Mustoe and Howard will join Cahill at Wrigley Field on Friday for the Washington Nationals-Chicago Cubs game. Prior to the game, Cubs TV analyst Ryan Dempster will lead Earle and Mustoe on a tour of Wrigleyville outside the stadium, before hitting key locations in the stadium ahead of first pitch. Howard and Cahill will throw the ceremonial first pitch.

At the seventh-inning stretch, Lowe will lead the NBC Sports team in the singing of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” The group’s trip to Wrigley will be featured across the weekend’s Premier League studio shows on NBC, Peacock and USA Network.

Telemundo Deportes’ Freddy Oldenburg will also provide on-location reports from the Fan Fest throughout coverage on Telemundo and Universo.

The Chicago fan festival is the 10th Premier League Mornings Live supporter event to be presented by the Premier League and NBC Sports. Previous fan festivals were held in Nashville, Washington D.C., New York, Boston, Austin, Miami Beach, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Orlando. To date, more than 85,000 soccer fans in the U.S. have attended Premier League Mornings Live events, which recreates a matchday experience for attending supporters.

This weekend’s match coverage is headlined by an early-season top-of-the-table matchup as first-place Manchester City host second-place Arsenal this Sunday at 11:30 a.m. ET on USA Network and Telemundo. Defending champions Manchester City, who last season became the first club in English top-flight history to win four straight titles, defeated Brentford, 2-1, last weekend to open the season with four consecutive victories. Erling Haaland leads the PL with nine goals this season, recording all but two of Manchester City’s 11 goals this season. Arsenal, who finished two points behind Manchester City last season, topped Tottenham, 1-0, in the North London Derby last weekend to extend their season-opening unbeaten streak to four matches. Jon Champion and Graeme Le Saux will call the match live from Etihad Stadium.
