For viewers in the United States, this is a weekend heavily laden with Peacock. NBC’s streaming platform has exclusive English-language coverage of nine out of the 10 games on the docket. That makes it essential for this weekend, and fans can take advantage of Goal Rush on the platform on Saturday.
