A new agreement for Fighting Irish football between Notre Dame and NBC has been reached; it runs through 2029.
Fighting Irish football will continue to air on NBC until the 2029 season according to a media rights agreement that Notre Dame and NBC announced on Saturday.
Since 1991, Notre Dame’s home football games have been broadcast on NBC. The present contract was set to end following the 2024 season.
Under their present agreement, NBC pays Notre Dame around $22 million annually. The new deal’s financial details were kept a secret.
“We are thrilled to continue our historic collaboration with our partners at NBC Sports,” Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said. “In the next generation of this partnership, we will collaborate to provide our fans even more Notre Dame content through a variety of NBCUniversal’s distribution channels while continuing to put our student-athletes and their stories at the heart of our messaging.”
The new deal will allow for select football games to stream exclusively on Peacock, NBC’s subscription streaming service. Peacock has carried at least one Notre Dame football game since 2021.
Peacock also is streaming the entire Notre Dame hockey schedule in 2023-24.
“With enhanced rights that allow us to present Notre Dame Football on NBC as well as across Peacock and additional platforms, we look forward to bringing the Fighting Irish to fans in more ways than ever before,” NBC Sports President Rick Cordella said.
