NBC has announced a new NBC Sports Network that will debut first on YouTube TV before expanding elsewhere.
The NBC Sports Network is a new 24/7 channel featuring “a wide range of marquee sporting events and programming from NBC Sports.”
Events and content on the channel include:
- Monday Night NBA games and NBA Playoffs
- Expected to include dozens of MLB regular-season and select post-season games in a soon-to-be-announced agreement
- Premier League soccer matches
- Gold Zone hosted by Scott Hanson (daily whip-around coverage for Milan Cortina Olympic Winter Games in February 2026)
- WNBA Regular Season and Playoff games
- Big Ten and Notre Dame Football
- Big Ten, Big East and Big 12 Men’s and Women’s Basketball
- Golf Majors (includes select coverage of U.S. Open and The Open Championship)
- Cycling (Tour de France, Tour de France Femmes; Vuelta a España, and more)
- Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks undercard races
- Olympic Sports (e.g., Figure Skating, Ski & Snowboard, Gymnastics, Swimming, Track & Field)
- Popular shows, including PFT Live, The Dan Patrick Show, The Dan Le Batard Show, and Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry
NBC Sports Network will launch on November 17 – this coming Monday – with it first debuting on YouTube TV. The channel will then expand to Xfinity “soon” and to other pay-TV distributors “at a later date.”
This comes as YouTube TV is still in a heated battle with Disney, causing the loss of channels such as the ESPN library. NBC and YouTube TV also went through a spat earlier this year, but a deal was negotiated and, clearly, the two companies are working together.
