NBC schedule for Aviva Premiership in USA

Following NBC’s historic three-year agreement to broadcast the Aviva Premiership in the USA, the network has revealed its initial eight-week schedule that will be part of more than 70 matches broadcast over the course of the season. Games will be split between the NBC Sports Network and NBC Sports Online, with the majority set to be broadcast live. Joining studio host Leigh Diffey on the team will be former England prop Alex Corbisiero. The 28-year-old New York native is currently on hiatus from professional rugby citing a desire to fully recover from recurrent knee injuries.

The initial schedule can be seen below, all times Eastern.
