As with the MLB Trading Deadline and NHL Trade Deadline shows, one of the more compelling days in sports is the English Premier League Transfer Deadline. It’s today and NBCSN will have a one-hour wrap-up of the day’s transfers at 6:30 p.m. ET today.
With Rebecca Lowe in Sochi, the program will be hosted by BBC Match of the Day announcer Steve Bower. He’ll be joined by NBCSN EPL analysts the Two Robbies (Earle and Mustoe) and Kyle Martino. Arlo White joins the telecast from across the Atlantic.
And after the EPL took last weekend off for FA Cup action, it’s back on this weekend once again with a whole slate of games.
NBCSN has two doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday. NBC airs a live edition of Match of the Day on Saturday.
Here’s the NBC schedule for this weekend.
