Viewers tuning will recognize a familiar musical refrain previously synonymous with NBC Sports’ coverage of the U.S. Open, as Yanni’s In Celebration of Man will be incorporated throughout the championship.

    • Notre Dame Football: NBC Sports’ 30th season of Notre Dame Football continues tomorrow when the No. 7 Fighting Irish (1-0) host South Florida (1-0) at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Ind., at 2:30 p.m. ET on USA Network. Following last weekend’s victory over Duke, Notre Dame moved to No. 7 in the country. The Fighting Irish were led last week by QB Ian Book, who passed for 263 yards and one touchdown, and RB Kyren Williams, who totaled 205 yards from scrimmage (112 rushing, 93 receiving) and two rushing touchdowns.

 

    • Premier League: USMNT star Christian Pulisic – who’s hoping to return from injury – and Chelsea host 2019-20 champions Liverpool this Sunday at 11:30 a.m. ET exclusively on Peacock Premium, highlighting NBC Sports’ Premier League schedule this weekend.

 

    • Tour de France: NBC Sports’ live coverage of the 107th Tour de France concludes this weekend on NBCSN with Stage 21 starting at 9:30 a.m. ET on Sunday from Mantes-la-Jolie in France.

Three Americans topped the individual athlete medal standings: Michael Phelps (six medals, including five gold), Katie Ledecky (five medals, including four gold) and Simone Biles (five medals, including four gold). The program features more than 15 U.S. athletes including Phelps, Biles, Ledecky, Simone Manuel, Ryan Lochte, Aly Raisman and Christian Taylor.

 

WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS: TEAM FINAL AT 9 P.M. ET

In the Rio team final, the U.S. ‘Final Five,’ as they became known, captured gold in dominating fashion, defending their 2012 gold medal performance in London. Led by Biles and Raisman, Team USA topped the field with an eight-point margin of victory (184.897), followed by Russia with the silver medal (176.688) and China, which took bronze (176.003).

The gold-medal finish is also the seventh consecutive team medal for the U.S. women, making them the first to win back-to-back women’s team titles since Romania earned gold in 2004. Members of the U.S. women’s team included Biles, Raisman, 2012 Olympic all-around champion Gabby Douglas, Laurie Hernandez, and Madison Kocian, who has now won championships on every level (Olympic, World and NCAA).

This marked only the second time in history the U.S. claimed the top two spots on the podium in the women’s all-around competition, after NBC Sports analyst Nastia Liukin and her teammate Shawn Johnson did so in 2008. Biles also gave the U.S. a fourth consecutive gold medal in the women’s all-around, following Carly Patterson (2004), Liukin (2008) and Douglas (2012).

 

WOMEN’S ROAD CYCLING: ROAD RACE & TIME TRIAL AT 1 A.M. ET

Kristin Armstrong became the oldest female cyclist in history to win an Olympic medal when she won gold in the time trial event at the Rio Olympic Games, one day before her 43rd birthday. Armstrong is the only female U.S. athlete to win the same event (time trial) in three consecutive summer Olympic Games.

Led by first-time Olympian Mara Abbott, the U.S. women’s road cycling team placed three athletes in the top 12. Abbott’s fourth-place finish was the best result for an American woman since Connie Carpenter and Rebecca Twigg finished 1-2 at the 1984 Los Angeles Games. Abbott’s teammates Megan Guarnier and Evelyn Stevens finished 11th and 12th, respectively.

Below is each night’s highlighted content throughout the week:
