How to Watch NBC free with a TV antenna
A TV antenna is the best way to watch any soccer games airing on NBC for free.
If you have an antenna handy, but haven’t used it in a while, plug it into your television’s coax port and scan for channels. If you are within range of a broadcast tower, you could end up getting a number of soccer matches to watch for free in HD quality.
If you are new to TV antennas, here is a list of resources that I have written to get you started.

Free local NBC channel without a TV antenna
Locast is a non-profit service that allows you to stream local ABC, CBS, PBS, FOX, NBC and a number of sub-channels. The service is only available in 36 markets in the U.S. but it’s constantly expanding. Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Android TV devices such as Smart TVs and Google Chromecast all have a Locast app.
Since Locast is a non-profit, the app regularly asks for a donation, and some find that irritating. But Locast is an option worth exploring if you’re interested in getting local channels, but don’t want to pay for cable TV.
Watching Premier League on NBC Sports app
You can use the NBC Sports app to watch Premier League matches if you sign up to a live TV streaming service. fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, AT&T TV and YouTube TV all support activating the NBC Sports app.
Once you activate the app, you can watch live games that are also being shown on NBC, NBCSN, USA Network and CNBC. You will be able to watch these games live and on-demand.

Subscribers get 250 hours of Cloud DVR and 4K streaming at no extra charge. fuboTV works on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, smartphones, tablets and PCs. You can sign up for a free 7-day trial.
My budget pick is Sling TV. But remember, you need to live in one of the 11 markets listed above to watch NBC live. Sign up for Sling Blue or go for one of their prepaid offers for a free streaming device.
