NBC announces full slate of games, Peacock exclusives for Notre Dame, Big Ten

A new broadcasting era kicks off for the Big Ten beginning on Sept. 2. NBC will now be involved in showing the conference’s biggest games of the week. Of course, streaming is going to be a part of the process with Peacock having exclusive games throughout the year.

On Wednesday, NBC announced which games specific Big Ten teams will have to watch exclusively on Peacock. Notre Dame, which has been partnered with the network for years now, was included as well. Of the four to be announced, they are all nonconference showdowns. None will feature a Big Ten team facing another Big Ten member.

Michigan: Sept. 2 vs. East Carolina (Noon ET)Penn State: Sept. 9 vs. Delaware (Noon ET)Michigan State: Sept. 16 vs. Washington (5 p.m. ET)Notre Dame: Sept. 16 vs. Central Michigan (2:30 p.m. ET)

Three teams — Iowa, Ohio State, and Wisconsin — still have games NBC and Peacock will confirm at a later date.

Peacock pointed out every game announced on Wednesday has the common theme of a preseason-ranked opponent being present. Five of them are Big Ten teams, while Notre Dame and Washington are the outliers.

“Seven teams ranked in the Associated Press preseason Top 25 poll are expected to be featured in games streaming exclusively on Peacock this season (pending Big Ten flexible scheduling after Week 3), highlighting NBC Sports’ record-setting college football schedule across the Big Ten and Notre Dame Football,” NBC said in a statement.
