Peacock adds Premier League Data Zone as new feature
NBCUniversal continues to evolve its Peacock streaming service for US fans of European soccer. Beginning this week, Peacock is rolling out a brand-new feature called Premier League Data Zone, which incorporates live data analysis into broadcasts of select Premier League matches.
Premier League Data Zone features live augmented graphics and overlays, so you can see pertinent data that is collected from live player tracking systems. It’ll include on-pitch graphics and a border around the corner of the screen providing other game and player statistics.
Premier League Data Zone: Where to see it in action
Beginning Sunday, April 9, Peacock offers two streams of Liverpool against Arsenal. You can watch the NBC Sports main match production featuring commentator Peter Drury. Then a second stream of the game will be available in its US debut featuring commentators from the world-feed.
Some of the statistics tracked and can be shown on screen include:
- Real-time team and player statistics including passing accuracy, touches, sprints and total distance traveled, dribbles and opponents bypassed, pressures, and much more
- A live player movement tracker
- Player name graphics of whomever is possessing the ball
- On-pitch shot speed graphics
