I saw that too. On Direct TV in the guide it lists Soccer. It's that freaking NBC trying to force soccer on everyone.

Well... it is the final day of Premier League play, and it IS the single most popular sport in the World.

I'm sure that a lot of people all over the world tuned into the Golf Channel to watch.

They did. This isn't a new thing. Happens every Championship Sunday since NBC has had the rights to the Premier League.

Games were aired on NBC, NBC Sports Network (NBCSN), USA, CNBC, MSNBC, SyFy, Golf Channel, Olympic Channel, Regional NBC carriers and NBC Sports Online. All the games air at the same time across the NBC networks and each network carried a different game, which as a fan is really great.

This just proves to me how golf is becoming a smaller niched sport. I honestly believe the golf channel won’t be around in less than a decade.

Bite your tongue.  It's one of the few channels these days I find worth watching.

It's two hours of coverage of the final day of arguably the biggest league of the inarguably most popular sport in the universe.
So this conflicts with early fourth round coverage of a PGA tournament that most big names have skipped.
Probably a good call by NBC.

At first I was upset about this. But then I focused on the big picture and that is at least dish network has not lost the golf channel! I can’t watch channel 9, I can’t watch the NFL network, and I can’t watch Fox sports South because they’re trying to save money off of my bill!    How much more will my bill go up if I had back 3 of my favorite channels?   I guess it’s time to stream or go back to Direct

Amen to that 👍. Nothing against soccer but it is The Golf Channel afterall.  

On the other hand, as bad a shape as they seem to be financially right now, it may take some creative alliance like this to keep the network at all.

It was a real head scratcher... I am assuming with the return of live sports the netwok had a hole and put it on.

I eas confused as NBC Sports Network and Golf Channel are 206 and 207 on the cable just thought I had on the wrong channel but then after surfing around all of the NBC Universal channels had a EPL game on.

NBC didn"t do this to make us mad or to foist soccer on us, they did it for the money, otherwise they wouldn't do it.

I'm surprised reading all the angst.  It's a once a year thing, that will only be a single Sunday morning.

The final day of the English Premier League season, there are 10 games, all playing at the same time.  It's called Championship Sunday.  All the games are played at the same time so if there are championship ramifications, or relegation ramifications, no team has an advantage in knowing what result they need to win, avoid relegation, etc., before the start of their own game.  They run games on 10 NBC-owned channels across the cable/DirecTV spectrum.  Two hours, and it's over.

Hey there, fellow golf enthusiasts! I totally get where you're coming from. As someone who loves both soccer and golf, I can understand the frustration when the two worlds collide on TV. But hey, let's not jump to conclusions just yet! It seems like the Golf Channel might be trying to cater to a wider audience, which is cool in a way. Soccer can be pretty exciting too, right? If you're looking for more football content, you could check out some dedicated football channels or streaming services. They often have a variety of programs, tournaments, and analyses. You can also use fuboTV in Mexico to watch your favorite tournaments.
