This follows three spirited fan festivals (New York, Washington D.C. and Boston.) during the 2018-19 Premier League season. More than 25,000 soccer fans in the U.S. have attended Premier League Mornings Live events so far.

The Premier League has an ongoing commitment to bringing unique experiences to its fans and working with NBC Sports on Premier League Mornings Live continues that direct outreach to passionate fans in different cities across the United States.

Premier League Interim Chief Executive, Richard Masters, said: “We are excited to take Premier League Mornings Live to Miami, a city with a passionate sports following, after a successful first event of 2019/20 in Austin. It has been great to bring the Premier League experience to more fans across the United States and we look forward to seeing new supporters in Florida. NBC Sports will once again be helping us deliver an action-packed weekend, direct from South Beach, with many of our clubs joining us for free, family-friendly activities in a unique location.”

NBC Sports Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Content Strategy Jenny Storms added: “Coming off another successful Fan Fest in Austin, Texas, we are looking forward to kicking off the holiday season with our next event in South Florida. Miami fans, we look forward to celebrating Premier League soccer with you soon!”
