What is Peacock?

Peacock is the streaming arm of major broadcaster NBC, offering users a wide variety of sports, news, entertainment, films and additional content to browse and watch at their leisure.

With Peacock, viewers are able to move from their television sets too and take in their favorites across mobile devices, games consoles and desktop set-ups too.

With an impressive array of original programming, the streamer is making big moves in the market - but perhaps its biggest draw is its impressive array of live sports coverage, carrying both exclusive events and fixtures, plus content from NBC and Spanish-language broadcasts from Telemundo too.

What sports are available on Peacock?

With a litany of leagues and sports covered by the streamer, Peacock subscribers will want to check and see if their team and game are included in the service.

Soccer

With 380 Premier League games played every season, Peacock provides arguably the best coverage of the English top flight across the USA, broadcasting around 175 matches not on linear television each campaign, with all fixtures additionally available on demand.

In addition, Peacock can provide fans with their international fix too for Spanish-language users, with simulcast coverage of the FIFA World Cup and United States matches in conjunction with Telemundo, both for the USMNT and USWNT.

Football

Gridiron fans know they can settle in for a great end to the weekend with Peacock, with the streamer also offering simulcast coverage with NBC for their Sunday Night Football flagship show, including regular season and playoff games.

Additionally, the streamer has boosted their NFL coverage with one exclusive regular season and playoff fixture each, as well as a library hub focused on content from NFL Films and their catalog of documentaries.

Those who want to see the stars of tomorrow won’t be shortchanged either, with Peacock also carrying simulcast coverage of Notre Dame and the Big Ten Conference in the college football circuit, with eight exclusive games per season from the latter too.

Be aware however, most simulcast fixtures will also be subject to regionalised blackouts, meaning you may not receive coverage dependent on the team in action.

Basketball

One of the new centerpieces of Peacock’s long-term programming is the return of the NBA to NBCUniversal platforms after a 23-year hiatus. The 11-year agreement, which began with the 2025-26 season, grants Peacock a robust slate of 100 regular-season games and extensive postseason coverage.

The cultural significance of this deal is reinforced by the return of the iconic "Roundball Rock" theme music and a commentator lineup featuring Mike Tirico, Reggie Miller, and Jamal Crawford. In addition to the NBA, the agreement revitalized the WNBA on the platform. 

Starting in May 2026, Peacock will stream more than 50 regular-season and first-round playoff games, as well as the exclusive rights to the WNBA Finals in 2026, 2030, and 2034. This commitment to the WNBA positions Peacock at the forefront of the commercial expansion in women's professional basketball.

Baseball

One of the flagship jewels in Peacock’s sporting crown, the streamer holds exclusive rights for MLB’s national midday games on a Sunday, as part of their MLB Sunday Leadoff package.

Golf

In conjunction with NBC, Peacock provides simulcast coverage from a variety of events on the PGA Tour, LPGA Tour and at USGA events across the course of the golfing season.

The latter comes with something a little extra, however, with the streamer providing exclusive coverage windows and alternate feeds for several events, allowing you to keep track on every hole away from the main broadcast.

Olympic Games

Bowing during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Peacock carried coverage of selected events as well as a roaming channel focused around the wider tournament, before streaming all events from the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics live.

For the Paris 2024 Olympics, the service thrived again with its coverage of one of the biggest sporting events of the decade.
