NBCUniversal launching new NBC sports network

(WAND) — NBCUniversal announced their new NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) will launch next Monday, November 17.

NBCSN will be a 24/7 linear network featuring a wide range of sporting events and programming from NBC sports. It will be available exclusively through participating pay-TV distributors, launching first for all Youtube TV subscribers and soon on Xfinity, with other distributors to be announced at a later date.

"NBCSN is a win across the board, while also creating a new monetization path for some of our most premium programming and supporting NBCU's commitment to serving viewers wherever they watch, whether on Peacock, pay-TV, or both," said NBCU Platform Distribution and Partnerships President Matt Schnaars.

Events and programming on the new network will include Monday night NBA games and NBA playoffs, Big Ten and Notre Dame football, premier league soccer matches, and dozens of MLB regular-season and select post-season games in a soon-to-be-announced agreement.

More information and a full list of events on the new network can be found on the NBC sports website.
