The entertainment giant says that it will launch NBC Sports Network next week on Nov. 17, seeking a linear home for the slate of live games that it will have on the Peacock streaming service. NBCSN will launch first on YouTube TV, and will be followed shortly after by Xfinity, the cable company also owned by Comcast. The existence of the channel was first confirmed by the company last month when it struck a new carriage deal with YouTube TV.

"NBCUniversal delivers the biggest moments in sports, and the new NBC Sports Network gives pay-tv customers a seamless way to enjoy the wide range of sports in our portfolio, adding an important pillar in our linear and streaming strategy," said Matt Schnaars, president of platform distribution and partnerships for NBCUniversal. "NBCSN is a win across the board - driving value for fans and distributors who prefer an aggregated experience, league and conference partners seeking broad reach, and advertisers targeting engaged sports audiences - 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."
