Gary Neville joins NBC Sports as Premier League contributor for the 2024-25 season

Gary Neville has joined NBC Sports as a special contributor for the network’s Premier League coverage for the 2024-25 season.

The 49-year-old former Manchester United defender will contribute to the US network’s studio coverage every Sunday throughout the season, in addition to his work as a commentator for Sky Sports in the UK.

Neville will make his NBC debut on Friday (August 16) when he covers the Premier League opener between his former club United and Fulham at Old Trafford. He will also be seen on Sunday (August 18) when Brentford host Crystal Palace and Chelsea play Manchester City.

Earlier this month, Neville became the majority shareholder at League Two club Salford City after taking over shares from Peter Lim.

NBC has been broadcasting Premier League matches to fans in the U.S. since the 2013-14 season. The current deal runs through 2027-28 and gives fans across the Atlantic access to all matches on the network’s sports channels. Select matches will also air each week on Spanish-language channels Universo and Telemundo.
