NBC Sports ready to capture Liverpool's celebration of Premier League title
Lowe and NBC's Premier League studio crew will be at Anfield for the final day of the season as Liverpool gets to lift the championship trophy after facing Crystal Palace.
It is Liverpool's second Premier League title but the first it will be able to celebrate in front of a sold out crowd. Liverpool won the championship in 2020, but the joy was muted as it celebrated in front of only a couple hundred fans due to COVID-19 crowd controls.
'I think Anfield might be the happiest spot to be maybe anywhere in the world,' Lowe said earlier this week. 'This is a moment for a generation. I know there are going to be men and women in their 30s and 40s who've never seen Liverpool lift the top flight of English football, and that is why this Sunday is so special for these fans.'
Liverpool has had the title wrapped up since late April, making the final match day of the season mostly meaningless after the championship went down to the final minute the past couple years.
Even with the three relegation spots decided, the only drama remaining is which clubs will get the final three auto qualifying spots for the Champions League. Manchester City, Newcastle, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest are separated by just three points.
Even the Crystal Palace supporters making the trip to Liverpool are going to be in a celebratory mood after it won the FA Cup last Saturday for the first time with a 1-0 victory over Manchester City.
Lowe, who grew up rooting for Crystal Palace, was in London last week for the FA Cup final.
Liverpool was not considered among the Premier League championship favorites going into the season. Arne Slot came in as manager after Juergen Klopp resigned after being at the club over eight years and leading them to the title in 2020.
'If anybody back in August would have picked Liverpool to win the league, they would have been laughed out of town,' said Lowe, who has hosted NBC's coverage since it started carrying the Premier League in 2013. 'Arne walks into this massive club, succeeding a massive figure and character and then pretty much walks his way to the Premier League trophy. I think it's been a combination of excellent coaching, a very good squad that he inherited and very few injuries.'
NBC Sports wraps up its 12th season by showing all 10 'Championship Sunday' matches beginning at 11 a.m. EDT. NBC has the Liverpool match while USA Network, CNBC, SYFY, Telemundo, Universo and Peacock will also have other matchups.

Bundesliga giants could soon begin discussions for Chelsea star
German giants Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly one of the teams interested in signing Chelsea outcast Raheem Sterling in the ongoing transfer window. The 30-year-old winger does not have a future at Stamford Bridge and has been linked with a move away. However, the situation surrounding his future is complicated, as he has a contract that runs till 2027. This means that the Blues will have to find a solution to Sterling's future and have put him up for sale in the ongoing window. Enzo Maresca's team are reportedly seeking £20m for Sterling, but might struggle to find a suitor that meets that valuation. It has been reported that Leverkusen and Juventus are interested in Sterling, which would give the Englishman a route into next season's Champions League. Though Chelsea are keen to sell Sterling this summer, they might have to make do with loaning him out for a second consecutive year. 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp Bayer Leverkusen could soon begin talks for Raheem Sterling Getty Images Under their new manager, Erik Ten Hag, Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly interested in signing Sterling from Chelsea. But there is one catch in their interest, though. According to CaughtOffside, the German side would only be prepared to sign Sterling on loan for the 2025/26 season, with a portion of his wages still to be paid by Chelsea. The report also adds that 'talks' could soon take place to try to find a compromise, but Leverkusen's interest is still in its preliminary stages. A move to Germany may be an ideal opportunity for Sterling to revive his career, which has been on a downward trajectory in recent years. However, whether or not a move is possible may come down to the player's wages, and Sterling may have to take a cut on his substantial wages for the move to become a reality.
