NBCUniversal Revives NBC Sports Network, Launches Nov. 17 on YouTube TV

The channel returns through a new Google carriage pact to license Peacock sports to pay-TV for added revenue.

Overview

  • NBCSN debuts on YouTube TV on Nov. 17, with Xfinity to follow soon and additional distributors planned.
  • The lineup includes Monday night NBA games and playoffs, WNBA, Premier League, Big Ten and Notre Dame football, major golf, cycling, Kentucky Derby undercards, Olympic sports, and daily studio shows.
  • NBC says a separate MLB agreement is forthcoming, describing plans for dozens of regular-season games and some postseason windows.
  • Peacock’s exclusive NFL games and the Olympics will not air on NBCSN, according to NBC Sports president Rick Cordella.
  • The relaunch reverses the network’s 2021 shutdown and reflects a platform-agnostic strategy enabled by NBCU’s broader carriage deal with Google.
