“We are incredibly excited to be partnering with Kevin Warren and the Big Ten Conference on this robust package of sports,” said Pete Bevacqua, Chairman, NBC Sports, said in a statement. Peacock will contain eight regular-season football games and potentially up to 47 regular-season men’s basketball games (32 conference and 15 non-conference) and 30 regular-season women’s basketball games (20 conference and 10 non-conference). Each Big Ten game on NBC will also be simulcast on Peacock - NBCUniversal's direct-to-consumer streaming package. The Saturday night game will be called Big Ten Saturday Night. NBC will add a marquee Saturday night football game to pair with Sunday Night Football.
The Big Ten network will continue to televise a full slate of football, basketball and Olympic sport competition. The media rights agreements will begin July 1, 2023, and run through the 2029-30 season. The Big Ten announced its new partnership with CBS, FOX, NBC and NBC Peacock to join forces with FS1 and the Big Ten Network to broadcast the conference's sports.
