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

A new pact with YouTube sets up a linear outlet for Peacock’s marquee sports within the pay‑TV bundle.

Overview

  • The channel debuts on YouTube TV on Nov. 17, with Comcast’s Xfinity to follow soon and additional distributors to be announced.
  • Programming includes Monday night NBA games and the NBA Playoffs, Premier League matches, WNBA, Big Ten and Notre Dame football, golf majors, major cycling races, Kentucky Derby undercards, and Olympic sports.
  • NBC says the lineup will feature Gold Zone coverage for the 2026 Winter Games hosted by Scott Hanson.
  • An MLB package is described as pending, with NBC expecting a soon‑to‑be‑announced deal for dozens of regular‑season games and select postseason contests.
  • Peacock‑exclusive NFL games remain off NBCSN, and the relaunch follows NBCU’s cable spin‑off into Versant while NBC Sports stays with Comcast.
