NBCUniversal will revive the NBC Sports Network on Nov. 17 on YouTube TV. It also will be available on Xfinity soon and will roll out to other pay TV distributors at a later date.

“NBCUniversal delivers the biggest moments in sports, and the new NBC Sports Network gives pay-tv customers a seamless way to enjoy the wide range of sports in our portfolio, adding an important pillar in our linear and streaming strategy,” NBCU platform distribution and partnerships president Matt Schnaars said in a statement. “NBCSN is a win across the board – driving value for fans and distributors who prefer an aggregated experience, league and conference partners seeking broad reach, and advertisers targeting engaged sports audiences – while also creating a new monetization path for some of our most premium programming and supporting NBCU’s commitment to serving viewers wherever they watch, whether on Peacock, pay-tv, or both.”
The NBC Sports Network’s revival comes after it was shuttered in 2021, with the majority of its live sports programming moving to USA Network and Peacock at the time.
The launch on YouTube TV was included as part of NBCUniversal’s new carriage deal with the platform’s parent company Google for its full portfolio of networks, including NBC, Telemundo, Bravo, CNBC, Golf Channel, E!, Oxygen True Crime, MSNBC, USA, Syfy and Universo.
Peacock also reached a multi-year extension for availability across Google’s Android platforms, including Google Play and Google TV, and will be available in the coming months as a subscription through YouTube Primetime Channels.
Additionally, films and TV shows from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment will continue to be available to buy or rent on Google TV, YouTube TV and YouTube. Library films from NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution will also be available to stream on YouTube Premium and AVOD through YouTube Free Primetime Content.
