The NBA and Peacock took centerstage at NBC's Upfront presentation on Monday, showcasing how central the platform is to the network's future.
The announcement comes shortly after the streaming service announced an NFL exclusive on December 27.
This will mark the fourth NFL game exclusive to Peacock.
"I don't want to be harsh, but what's the Pirates' excuse?"
Peacock had previously announced plans for a 'Friday Night Lights' reboot in December.
"This is starting to be on a very slippery slope."
"The clowns at ESPN, they always make me laugh."
"We continue to think that acquiring the rights to bring the NBA back to NBC and Peacock is a big deal, big moment, big accomplishment."
"It's a cottage industry that you created. That is contributions to the game."
Peacock is still "in the red" according to streaming expert Julia Alexander, who hints that live sports hasn't kept subscribers.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will play the Boise State Broncos exclusively on the Peacock streaming service.
"I remember several pieces of talent saying, 'Hogan, be careful champ. Things have changed around here.' I'm like, 'I don't think so.'"
"You're one of the few guys in America that asks questions that are way shorter than the guy's answer."
"I would never want that attention. I would never do that."
"Usually, they don't like what I say."
"We don't need to have Opening Day over there. Have Opening Day here."
Prices for the add-on varies by market, but range from $14.95 to $24.95 per month.
Ogwumike's new production company has already sold a scripted "The W" WNBA comedy series to Peacock.
The new deal runs through 2028 and will see events air on NBC Sports linear properties and Peacock.
"The excuse after the bracket came out was a little bit weak. It is what it is."
"Weak would've been tweeting it out or having somebody from your management company or agency reach out to Stephen A."
As in Paris last summer, NBC Sports will highly utilize broadcast NBC for 2026 Olympic coverage.
