STAMFORD, Conn. - August 18, 2022 - NBCUniversal and the Big Ten Conference today announced a landmark 7-year agreement for NBC and Peacock to become the exclusive home of Big Ten Saturday Night football, beginning in 2023.

"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. "With Big Ten Saturday Night and Sunday Night Football headlining each fall weekend in primetime on NBC and Peacock, along with our historic Notre Dame Football partnership, NBC Sports will be the home of the premier games in college football and the NFL.

We look forward to working with their world-class team, specifically Jeff Shell, Mark Lazarus, Pete Bevacqua and Jon Miller as we begin a transformative era for our student-athletes, coaches, member institutions and fans."

"This is a major investment in our NBC broadcast platform, which also strengthens our streaming service, Peacock," said Mark Lazarus, Chairman, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. "The Big Ten Conference is a powerful addition for both, and will deliver big and new audiences throughout the year."

NBC Sports/Peacock's new agreement with college sports' top conference will also feature dozens of men's and women's basketball games (including multiple games each year in the Men's and Women's Big Ten Tournaments), Olympic sports, golf and more, providing hundreds of hours of Big Ten content across Peacock.

Today's Big Ten announcement continues NBC Sports' tradition of presenting the biggest events in sports in partnership with the world's most prominent organizations, highlighted by long-term agreements through the end of the decade with the NFL, IOC, the PGA TOUR, and the Premier League.
