As above, what's the best way to catch games from the US? Any advice from US-based posters greatfully received. I'm over here for a fair few months so either subscription or match-by-match options would be possible. Thanks in advance  |  | | |  |

Correct. It was free until this season, but now you have to have the Gold thing ($49.99) to see every fixture.
This weekend, 7 of the fixtures are on NBC, NBCSN, or CNBC, and the other 3 (3 of the 5 Saturday 3 pm GMT matches) are "Gold." Unfortunately Southampton/Swans is one of the 3 Golds, so I will be watching on my computer and cussing every time it freezes. [Post edited 12 Aug 2017 4:54]

Ok, thanks both. So the live extra is free, but the Gold is subscription? So a Gold subscription will guarantee a stream for each game (when combined with the live extra streams)?
And can you run these via apps on a phone/iPod (we're currently cruising up the west coast 😎).
And do tou need decent wifi? Motels can be a bit hit and miss.
Sorry, so many questions...... | | | |

Excellent, Leon.
Where you headed?
Or is the journey all part of the destination?
Should be, the West Coast is amazing.
Enjoy yourself amigo. |  | | |

Live Extra is a service that NBC sports offers its customers and use to allow to view replays and such. Gold has a thing called Premiere pass which allows you to drop the full 50 USD to for the entire season, and its a stand alone platform.. you won't need the tv component to watch.
You can access the matches with the NBC sport app.
Also cruising up the west coast, do enjoy it. I'm in southern california myself :) |  |

Thanks for that. We had rubbish wifi for the Southampton game, but i'll get that sorted out now. You'd think a country that can blow up the world several times over could sort out decent wifi in motels, but apparently not. | | | |

We stayed north, so flew into Vegss and then across to Death Valley and Yosemite before hitting the CA coast at Monterey. Monterey and SF were superb. Now up in Oregon - Crater Lakes. Superb country. | | | |

Cheers N. we've got a rough plan, may make it to Seattle or may pull the plug at Portland. All good fun so far, but we're missing the footie! Not that it sounds like there's been much to miss... | | | |

Go where the wind takes you, you free spirit you.
Only thing you need to know about the Swans is we got a point.
No worries, you're on the West Coast now.
As an aside, have you thought about checking out a "soccer" game in either of the cities you mentioned?
Check it out. | | | |

Soccer! Pah. it's all about 'football' out here. I thought baseball would be bigger but apparently it's in decline. When we get back to Boston we've got New England Revolution for the real footie, the Redsocks (edit - Red Sox apparently ☺ï¸) for baseball and the Patriots for football with shoulder pads. Hopefully we'll catch them all. [Post edited 15 Aug 2017 6:40]

Hope you enjoy the total eclipse on Thursday. We were hoping to be there but circumstances dictated otherwise.
Are you going to Utah ? The area around Moab is simply stunning. You can combine a route with Zion NP and Page, Arizona. So many places that you will be familiar to you once you're there. |  |
