NBC Sports Network Now Streaming with Comcast Xfinity Packages

PHILADELPHIA, PA — NBCUniversal has launched its new standalone NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) as part of Comcast Xfinity TV cable packages. The channel features a range of live sports programs, including Monday Night NBA games, Premier League soccer, and Olympic sports coverage.

The NBC Sports Network aims to provide viewers with another platform to access NBCUniversal’s sports content, which also streams on the Peacock service. Viewers can look forward to significant programming such as the NBA playoffs, WNBA games, Big Ten football, and NCAA basketball.

Scott Hanson will host the Olympic Winter Games coverage on the Gold Zone segment. NBCUniversal’s partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB) will also enhance the NBCSN offerings with shows like MLB Sunday Leadoff and Sunday Night Baseball.

Matt Schnaars, President of Platform Distribution and Partnerships at NBCUniversal, stated just before the launch, “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.” He continued to explain the importance of this network for fans, distributors, and advertisers alike. “This consolidated approach creates a new monetization path for our premium programming and reflects our commitment to meeting viewers where they watch, whether on Peacock, pay-tv, or both,” Schnaars added.

The network debuted on YouTube TV on November 17, further expanding its reach and availability among sports fans.
