NBC Sports have announced that former Everton and Manchester United goalkeeper Tim Howard will serve as a studio analyst across their Premier League coverage for the 2020/21 season.
After making his broadcast debut with NBC Sports nearly seven years ago, Howard returns as a full-time member of the broadcasting team, joining host Rebecca Lowe and fellow analysts Robbie Earle and Robbie Mustoe.
“I’m excited to re-join NBC Sports, where I got my start in broadcasting,” Howard said. “After playing for 13 years in the Premier League, and watching regularly since, I can’t wait to get into the studio to provide analysis on the League with Rebecca and the Robbies.”
With less than two weeks until kick-off of the 2020/21 Premier League season, NBC Sports has released its schedule for September, as NBCUniversal platforms will again present live coverage of every Premier League match.
The opening weekend schedule kicks off Saturday, September 12 at 7:30 a.m. ET on NBCSN, as promoted Fulham host Arsenal, who won their record-extending 14th FA Cup last month.
Highlighting the season’s first day, Premier League champions Liverpool host Leeds United – back in the Premier League for the first time in 16 years – at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
