Notre Dame will have one 2026 football game streamed exclusively on Peacock
On3 • • sports
Key Points:
- Notre Dame announced kickoff times for its six home games and the season opener against Wisconsin, all seemingly set to air on NBC with no mention of Peacock-exclusive streaming.
- However, NBC confirmed to Awful Announcing that Notre Dame will have one Peacock-exclusive game in 2026, continuing the annual tradition despite initial appearances.
- The likely Peacock-only game is Notre Dame’s first true road game at Purdue on September 26, given conference TV partnerships and scheduling considerations.
- Notre Dame has maintained a perfect 5-0 record in Peacock-exclusive games since 2021, including notable wins against Toledo, NC State, UNLV, Central Michigan, and Louisville.
- While some fans dislike the Peacock-only streaming arrangement, it remains in place for 2026, with the Irish historically performing well in these exclusive broadcasts.
