Notre Dame’s relationship with NBC will reportedly continue well into the future after signing an extension that will keep the Fighting Irish on the network through 2029.
Notre Dame football had been broadcast on NBC since 1991, meaning by the end of this new contract the two sides will be celebrating nearly four decades together.
In a statement from Irish AD Jack Swarbick:
We are thrilled to continue our historic collaboration with our partner at NBC Sports. 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 out student-athletes and their stories at the heart of our messaging.

NBC Sports president Rick Cordella is similarly excited by the continuation of its relationship with the college football power. Adding:
There is no better tradition than Notre Dame Football in South Bend, and we are thrilled to keep that tradition within the NBC Sports family as we extend our relationship as the exclusive home of Fighting Irish football games. … With enhanced rights that allow us to present Notre Dame Football on NBC as well as across Peacock and additional platforms.
NBC’s Peacock service will also be the exclusive home of a yearly documentary series that follows Notre Dame football throughout the season, starting in 2024.
