The NFL on NBC is the branding used for broadcasts of National Football League (NFL) games that are produced by NBC Sports, and televised on the NBC television network and the Peacock streaming service in the United States.
NBC had sporadically carried NFL games as early as 1939, including the championship and Pro Bowl through the 1950s and early 1960s. Beginning in 1965, NBC signed an agreement to carry the American Football League (AFL)'s telecasts, which carried over with the American Football Conference (AFC) when the AFL merged with the NFL. NBC would continuously carry the AFL/AFC's Sunday afternoon games from 1965 through the 1997 season, after which NBC lost the AFC contract to CBS.
NBC's current flagship NFL program, NBC Sunday Night Football, began airing on NBC in 2006.[1] Alongside Sunday Night Football, NBC airs the annual preseason Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, the NFL Kickoff Game, the primetime game on Thanksgiving Day, and one regular season game on Peacock. During the NFL Playoffs, NBC airs two Wild Card Playoff games, one Divisional Round Playoff game, and the Super Bowl in rotation with Fox, CBS and ESPN/ABC. In 2024, NBC aired a third Wild Card Playoff game on Peacock. From 2016 to 2017, NBC added a five-game Thursday Night Football package to its offerings supplementing the NFL Kickoff and Thanksgiving Day Thursday night games that were already part of NBC's coverage. Game coverage is usually preceded by the pregame show Football Night in America.
