Seasons come and go, but LIVE sports never stop on Peacock. Peacock’s expansive live sports programming includes Premier League, Liga MX soccer, Big Ten Football, and more. Want to see it all? We put together this guide to all the big live sports and events happening this week from Aug 28 through Sept 3. Check out the schedule:
Cycling
La Vuelta
The race across Spain continues this week as the peloton races through mountains, hills and towns in the northern part of the country. In the coming week, cyclists must conquer two mountain stages before a flat sprint to Zaragoza. That’s the last truly flat stage for a while though, as uphill finish lines bookend the first rest day. Then it’s nonstop mountains for a week. That’s a lot of pain and exhaustion to push through, which should give us some of the most dramatic moments of the race.
Thursday Aug 28 at 8:50a ET: Stage 6
Friday Aug 29 at 5:45a ET: Stage 7
Saturday Aug 30 at 8:50a ET: Stage 8
Sunday Aug 31 at 8:50a ET: Stage 9

Wednesday Sept 3 at 7:20a ET: Stage 11

Gymnastics
Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships
Few sports are as mesmerizing as rhythmic gymnastics. Combining unbelievable athleticism with artistry and performance, it’s hard not to get sucked in when the best in the world take the floor. Rin Keys and Megan Chu represent the United States in individual events while Goda Balsys, Anabella Hantov, Greta Pavilonyte, Alaini Spata, Kalina Trayanov, and Natalia Ye-Granda are set for group competition. It’s all happening in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which is the perfect backdrop for a competition this spectacular. Expect some dazzling performances here.
Friday Aug 22 at 1:30p ET: Individuals All-Around Final
Saturday Aug 23 at 1p ET: Groups All-Around
Sunday Aug 24 at 10a ET: Individuals Apparatus Final
Football
Big Ten Football
You hear that? It’s the rumble of the biggest, loudest stadiums in the country filling with fans again. It can only mean one thing: College football is back. Kick off a new season in the Big Ten this weekend with two nights of thrills. It all starts Friday with a Prairie State fight between Western Illinois and No. 12 Illinois. The Illini have a lot to prove this season, and hope to set things off on the right foot with a statement win on Friday night. Then, come back for Big Ten Saturday Night when the New Mexico Lobos face No. 14 Michigan. The Wolverines may be lower in the rankings than they would like, so they’re hoping to jump up a few spots on Saturday night.
Friday Aug 29 at 7p ET: Western Illinois vs. (12) Illinois
Saturday Aug 30 at 7p ET: New Mexico vs. (14) Michigan
Watch Big Ten Football on Peacock.
Soccer
Liga MX
This weekend may be a soccer fan’s dream. Catch two Liga MX matches on back-to-back nights. It all starts Friday when Juárez faces Mazatlán. Los Cañoneros are just two places outside of the top ten, and a win here would propel them into Apertura playoff contention. Juárez isn’t going to make that easy for them. Los Bravos are coming off two big wins, and hope to make it three on Friday night. Come back Saturday to see Chivas host Cruz Azul. Chivas has had a rough start to the season, winning only one game in their last five. It’ll be even harder this Saturday against the second-place team in Liga MX. Anything is possible in front of that Estadio Akron crowd, though.
Friday Aug 29 at 8:55p ET: Juárez vs. Mazatlán (en Español)
Saturday Aug 30 at 8:30p ET: Chivas vs. Cruz Azul (en Español)

Premier League
Two weeks into the new season, and it’s shaping up to be an exciting year of Premier League. Arsenal, Spurs, and Liverpool take up the top three spots with six points apiece. Chelsea and Nottingham Forest sit just behind them with four. The big shock of the last week was Man City dropping into sixth place after a loss to Spurs, though they’ll have the chance to climb the table this week against a Brighton side that has yet to win a match this season. Another fun early-season wrinkle is that all three newly promoted sides (Sunderland, Burnley, and Leeds United) are solidly in the middle of the table with three points each, beating out much more established clubs. We’ll see if they can stay up as we enter Week 3.
Saturday Aug 30 at 10a ET: Man United v Burnley
Saturday Aug 30 at 10a ET: Spurs v Bournemouth
Saturday Aug 30 at 10a ET: Wolves v Everton
Saturday Aug 30 at 12:30p ET: Leeds United v Newcastle
Sunday Aug 31 at 9a ET: Brighton v Man City
Sunday Aug 17 at 11:30a ET: Man United v Arsenal
Watch Premier League on Peacock.
USL Super League
One week into the new season of USL Super League, DC Power, Dallas Trinity, and Brooklyn FC are off to winning starts. We’ll see if any of them can get a streak going as we head into the second week. Only Carolina Ascent, who took the Players’ Shield last season, has yet to play a game. That’ll change this week when they take on Fort Lauderdale United in a rematch of last season’s semifinal.
Saturday Aug 30 at 7p ET: DC Power FC vs. Spokane Zephyr FC
Saturday Aug 30 at 7:30p ET: Fort Lauderdale United FC vs. Carolina Ascent FC
Saturday Aug 30 at 8p ET: Tampa Bay Sun FC vs. Sporting JAX
Saturday Aug 30 at 8:30p ET: Dallas Trinity FC vs. Brooklyn FC
Horse Racing
Nashville Derby
When 14 three-year-old thoroughbreds speed through the grass at Kentucky Downs, the racing gets so competitive you might even feel your living room shake. This is one of the richest horse races in the sport with a total purse of $3.5 million. That means horses and their jockeys will be pulling out all the stops to reach the finish line first. Adding even more excitement and unpredictability, this will be many of these horses’ first time racing on turf, including Sandman and Burham Square.
Saturday Aug 30 at 4p ET: Nashville Derby

Diving
World Aquatics High Diving World Cup
No diving competition produces as many heart-in-your-throat moments as the high diving event. Watching elite athletes fall unfathomable distances, and land perfectly in the water is the kind of thing we can’t tear our eyes away from. And we get to watch the best in the world do it this weekend in Bahrain at the World Aquatics High Diving World Cup.
Sunday Aug 31 at 5:02a ET: Men’s 27m Finals/Women’s 20m Finals – Rounds 3 and 4
WWE
Heatwave
Last year’s Backlash: France brought out some of the most fun crowds of any Premium Live Event last year. The French fans will be out in full force again when WWE’s biggest Superstars take the City of Lights for Clash in Paris. This will be John Cena’s first and only Premium Live Event in France, and he’s got a big match ahead of him. He’ll be taking on Logan Paul in a match with a ton of heat behind it. We’ll also see Seth Rollins, who’s made no shortage of enemies, defend the World Heavyweight Championship in a fatal four-way against CM Punk, Jey Uso, and LA Knight. The Paris crowd will also get to witness a Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook match between Seamus and Rusev, with barrels and shillelaghs placed around the ring for anyone to use. Seamus is a master of that type of match, so expect something truly spectacular here.
Sunday Aug 31 at 12p ET: Countdown to Clash in Paris
Sunday Aug 31 at 2p ET: Clash in Paris
