Remainder of Notre Dame Broadcasts to Air on NBC and Stream on Peacock 

Notre Dame-Toledo Marks Drew Brees’ Debut as an NBC Sports Game Analyst

New York, NY and South Bend, Ind. – August 4, 2021 – Peacock today announced exclusive live coverage of Notre Dame Football’s 2021 home opener against Toledo on Saturday, September 11. The NBC Sports and Notre Dame Football relationship began in 1991, and this marks the first time a Fighting Irish game is available to watch exclusively on a streaming service. Aside from the matchup against Toledo, all Notre Dame home games during the 2021 season will air on NBC and stream on Peacock.

“Dating back to airing Sunday football replays with Lindsey Nelson, we have always strived for innovation in the media space – our partnership with NBC and Peacock only solidifies that mission,” said Notre Dame vice president and James E. Rohr Director of Athletics Jack Swarbrick. “Bringing Notre Dame Football to Peacock is just the next step in the evolution of our relationship.”

“We are delighted to stream Notre Dame Football on Peacock,” said Pete Bevacqua, Chairman, NBC Sports. “Peacock exemplifies how we’re innovating as a company, and Notre Dame has consistently been a tremendous partner in making progressive choices for sports programming.”

Peacock joins Fighting Irish TV as a streaming destination for Notre Dame athletic content. In Spring 2021, Notre Dame Athletics launched Fighting Irish TV, a University-owned platform delivering video content on all athletic teams directly to fans through a connected television.

“Fighting Irish TV and Peacock shows the evolution of how media is consumed by our fans and television viewers, alike,” Swarbrick added. “We want to provide a great experience to not only our fans who travel around the world to cheer us on, but also to our supporters who are either cable subscribers or ‘cord-cutters,’ and these two streaming platforms do just that. I see no better example of this than Peacock’s success in delivering fans wall-to-wall content during the Tokyo Olympics.”

The Notre Dame on NBC season kicks off at 2:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, Sept. 11, when the Fighting Irish host Toledo Rockets, marking the first-ever meeting between the schools. NBC Sports’ Mike Tirico (play-by-play), Drew Brees (game analyst) and Kathryn Tappen (sideline reporter) will call Notre Dame on NBC games throughout the 2021 season.

On Oct. 23 at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC, Notre Dame and USC renew the “greatest intersectional rivalry” in college football as the Fighting Irish host the Trojans at Notre Dame Stadium. Notre Dame has won the past three matchups vs. USC, including a 30-27 victory during the Trojans’ last trip to South Bend in 2019.

The following week, on Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC, North Carolina visits South Bend to face Notre Dame for the second-consecutive season, following Notre Dame’s 31-17 win in Chapel Hill on Nov. 27, 2020.

The Notre Dame on NBC season kicks off at 2:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, Sep. 11, when the Fighting Irish host Toledo, marking the first-ever meeting between the schools. On Sept. 18, Notre Dame faces Purdue at 2:30 p.m. ET on NBC. NBC Sports’ Drew Brees, who will serve as a game analyst for Notre Dame football this season and played for the Boilermakers from 1997-2000, placing third in the 2000 Heisman Trophy race, will be in the booth as his alma mater takes the field against the Irish. Brees will be joined by NBC Sports’ Mike Tirico (play-by-play) and Kathryn Tappen (sideline) throughout the 2021 season.

Last year’s American Athletic Conference champion Cincinnati, who finished the season 9-1, visit South Bend on Oct. 2. Fighting Irish head coach Brian Kelly was the head coach at Cincinnati from 2007-09, compiling a 34-6 record over three season. On Nov. 6, Notre Dame hosts Navy in a rivalry that dates back to 1927. The Fighting Irish, who hold a 79-13-1 advantage in the all-time series, have faced Navy 93 times, more than any other matchup in school history.

The Notre Dame on NBC season concludes on Nov. 20 when the Fighting Irish host Georgia Tech.

NBC Sports’ presentation of the 2020 Notre Dame Football season, its 30th season of Notre Dame Football coverage, posted the network’s most-watched season in 15 years as the Fighting Irish compiled a 10-2 overall record, which included a double-overtime victory against then-No. 1 Clemson in college football’s most-watched game of the 2020 regular season. The Fighting Irish ultimately finished the season No. 5 in the final rankings after earning a berth in the College Football Semifinal at the Rose Bowl.

NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app – NBC Sports Group’s live streaming product for desktops, mobile devices, tablets, and connected TVs – will stream coverage of all 2021 Notre Dame home games.
