Apparently there was thought that a joint bid between ESPN and Fox Sports won back the rights and would have been announced this week, but NBC stepped up and won them back in a late bid. Thank fuck. ESPN and Fox Sports coverage of the sport here is absolutely piss poor and they have college sports and NFL to worry about which takes away coverage for the PL.
6 year deal through 2021/2022. Havent found monetary figures yet. Last deal was 3 years/$240m. Have to figure this one will absolutely shatter that

Source: EPL told bidders that it would not accept joint bids. ESPN did not submit a formal bid because of college football conflicts.

Source: Fox put in a bid by itself. Bein Sport put in a bid, too. NBC won the rights in the first round. There was no second round.

NBC submitted both a 3-year and 6-year bid for the EPL rights
Update: Estimated monetary details. $1bn over 6 years

NBC paying estimated £640m (£1 billion) for six-year US rights to Premier League. If figures accurate, gives each PL club extra £2.66m py.
This will go along with the money from the new domestic deal and the rest of the international tv deals that I think are up for renewal soon. The international tv deals are apparently worth $2.2bn currently. Not unfeasible to think that will be around $5bn once all the new int'l deals are active.
