Premier League’s 12th free weekend event to be held at Armature Works in Tampa Heights District on April 18-19

The Premier League, in collaboration with NBC Sports, announced today that its 12th Premier League Mornings Live Fan Festival will be held in Tampa Bay, Florida on April 18 and 19, 2026.

The free two-day event will take place at Armature Works in the Tampa Heights District, where fans will have the chance to watch live broadcasts of Premier League matches alongside fellow supporters, and celebrate the passion and excitement of Premier League soccer.

Fans attending the Premier League Mornings Live Fan Festival will see NBC Sports’ studio team – host Rebecca Lowe plus analysts Robbie Earle, Robbie Mustoe and Tim Howard – broadcast Premier League Mornings Live from Armature Works.

The festival will also feature free interactive soccer activities, appearances by Premier League club legends and the opportunity for fans to have their photo taken with the Premier League Trophy and club mascots.

“We are excited to bring our 12th Premier League Mornings Live Fan Festival to Tampa Bay, a Gulf Coast city with a growing soccer culture,” said Akash Jain, Premier League U.S. Managing Director.

“Nearly 100,000 people have joined us for fan festivals since they began in 2017. We look forward to working with Visit Tampa Bay and the Tampa Bay Sports Commission to bring an exciting Premier League experience for soccer fans to the banks of the Hillsborough River. There’s a great round of Premier League matches being broadcast for fans to enjoy together.”

Chance to meet PL legend Shearer

Premier League all-time leading goalscorer, Alan Shearer, is a confirmed attendee for the Tampa Bay event. Shearer scored 260 goals during his illustrious career, which also saw him win three Golden Boot awards and score 34 goals for Blackburn Rovers in the 1994/95 season to help them win the Premier League title.

“I am always amazed by the passionate support of fans and the incredible atmosphere they create at the Premier League Mornings Live events,” said Premier League Ambassador Shearer.

“These fan fests are a great opportunity for people to come together to enjoy free family-friendly activities, and to have a memorable weekend watching their favorite team play. I look forward to joining fans for an unmissable weekend of Premier League action in Tampa Bay.”
