Premier League Matchday 22: US TV Schedule, Kick-off Times (ET/PT) and Game-by-Game Preview

Manchester United vs Manchester City

Matchday 22 of the Premier League lands perfectly for US audiences: early Saturday drama, wall-to-wall mid-morning soccer, and a Sunday double-header that shapes both the title race and relegation fight.

For American viewers, NBCUniversal once again splits coverage across NBC, USA Network, and Peacock, ensuring every fixture is available live across the weekend. Below is the full Matchday 22 schedule in Eastern and Pacific Time, followed by clear previews and viewing angles for each game.

Matchday 22 fixtures – US TV schedule

Game of the weekend: Manchester United vs Manchester City

The Manchester derby kicks off the US broadcast window in the marquee Saturday 7:30 AM ET slot, traditionally reserved by NBC for the biggest game of the round.

City arrive as the more stable, more complete team, built to control tempo and territory. United, meanwhile, remain volatile. That volatility is exactly what keeps derbies unpredictable. If United can survive City’s opening pressure, the match tilts toward chaos, which is often where derbies are decided.

US viewing note: this one gets full studio build-up on NBC, with Peacock offering a clean-stream alternative.

Arsenal’s road test at Nottingham Forest

For Arsenal, Saturday’s late-morning fixture is a classic title-chase trap. Forest at home rarely allow rhythm, and they rely on direct transitions rather than long spells of possession.

From a US viewing perspective, this is an ideal bridge match between the 10 AM ET block and Saturday afternoon, airing on USA Network with Peacock access. Expect a tactical contest rather than fireworks.

Spurs vs West Ham: early start, derby energy

Spurs and West Ham meet in the crowded 10 AM ET Peacock window, where US fans can flip between multiple matches. Tottenham’s attacking approach contrasts sharply with West Ham’s compact, physical style.

Derbies like this often come down to moments, not patterns. A set piece or defensive lapse can decide it long before the tactics settle.

Sunday double-header: Wolves–Newcastle, then Villa–Everton

NBC’s Sunday slate is neatly layered:

• Wolves vs Newcastle (9:00 AM ET): Newcastle’s away form is under the microscope. Wolves will look to disrupt rhythm and turn the game into a sequence of broken phases.

• Aston Villa vs Everton (11:30 AM ET): Villa Park provides a prime broadcast atmosphere. Villa want control and territory; Everton want survival points. This contrast makes it an ideal Sunday showcase on NBC.

Monday closer: Brighton vs Bournemouth

The round wraps up Monday afternoon in the US, a rare 3:00 PM ET kickoff that works well for East Coast viewers. Brighton–Bournemouth often flies under the radar but tends to deliver pace and chances, especially late as legs tire.

What US viewers should remember

• NBC handles the headline games.

• USA Network carries strong secondary picks.

• Peacock streams every match live.

• Saturday morning is stacked; Sunday is about clarity and consequence.
