• Peacock to stream all Sunday Night Football on NBC broadcasts in 2024, plus the Football Night in America pregame show & the exclusive to the service postgame show, Peacock Sunday Night Football Final.

Sunday Night Football on NBC, the top show in America in primetime for an unparalleled 13 consecutive years now, is the broadcast home for the finest and brightest in 2024, starting off the season with Patrick Mahomes and the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs once again raising a championship banner at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium before hosting 2023 league MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens in NFL Kickoff 2024. This game, of course, is a re-match of last season's AFC Championship Game and marks the first time that a set of quarterbacks with multiple MVP awards meet in Week 1. The season opener is the first of FOUR (yes, FOUR) appearances by Mahomes and the Chiefs on NBC and Peacock this season.

The following evening (Friday, September 6), Peacock is the exclusive national broadcast home as Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers face off with Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles in São Paolo, Brazil, marking the first time that the NFL has ever played a game in Brazil and the league's first opening weekend game on a Friday night since 1970 (Cardinals/Rams). Then, on Sunday, September 8, on NBC and Peacock, in yet another postseason rematch from the 2023 season, Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams travel to play Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions in the season premiere of Sunday Night Football.

Aaron Rodgers is set to make his first appearances as a New York Jet on Sunday Night Football, when they visit the Pittsburgh Steelers (Sunday, October 20) and host the Indianapolis Colts (Sunday, November 17).

Peacock will once again stream all Sunday Night Football on NBC games, including the postseason, and the Football Night in America studio show featuring the returning cast of Maria Taylor (welcome back! 👏), Devin McCourty, Chris Simms, Jason Garrett, Matthew Berry & Mike Florio.

For the third straight season, the trio of play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico, analyst Cris Collinsworth & reporter Melissa Stark will return to provide commentary for each week's Sunday night game on NBC & Peacock. If needed, NBC & Peacock will use a secondary announcing team for select games during the season (Week 1 Brazil game & Week 16).

- Highlights of the 2024 Sunday Night Football on NBC schedule include:

• Four appearances by the two-time defending Super Bowl Kansas City Chiefs (vs. Ravens in Week 1, at Falcons in Week 3, vs. Chargers in Week 14 & vs. Texans in Week 16); three appearances by the Dallas Cowboys (including two games vs. historic postseason rivals Pittsburgh Steelers & San Francisco 49ers), Green Bay Packers (including São Paolo & Thanksgiving night), & the defending AFC South champion Houston Texans.

• 13 games featuring two 2023 playoff teams and NBC Sports' record SEVEN meetings between division winners from last season.

• The Dallas Cowboys make three appearances on Sunday Night Football in 2024, as per usual. In fact, two of three matchups stand out in particular. On Sunday, October 6, they will travel to Pittsburgh to meet up with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first matchup on NBC between these two longtime rivals since Super Bowl XXX in 1996. These teams faced off in three Super Bowls during the 1970's (with Pittsburgh winning twice and Dallas winning once). The Cowboys and Steelers have each played in the Super Bowl eight times (tied for second all-time, only behind the New England Patriots, who have been in the Super Bowl a record 11 times). Combined, the Cowboys (five) & Steelers (six) have 11 Lombardi Trophies between them. Three weeks later, on Sunday, October 27, the Cowboys will fly out west to battle the San Francisco 49ers, another team that Dallas has a lengthy postseason résumé against. The teams have played in nine playoff games over the years, including six NFC Championship games. Finally, on December 22, the Cowboys will welcome in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to AT&T Stadium. The Cowboys have defeated the Buccaneers in all three postseason meetings between the clubs, including Tom Brady's final game in January 2023.

On NBC and Peacock, NBC Sports will present 22 regular season games this season, 18 regular season Sunday Night Football games, NFL Kickoff Game, the Peacock exclusive Week 1 Brazil game between the Packers & Eagles, the annual Thanksgiving night game between the Dolphins & Packers, & a special Saturday afternoon Week 16 broadcast between the Texans & Chiefs. NBC Sports will televise two playoff games this season, one Wild Card game & Divisional Playoff game. NBC and Peacock will also provide live coverage of a preseason game (Patriots/Commanders) this August. In total, NBC Sports will present 25 NFL games during the 2024 season.

On the weekend of January 11-12, NBC & Peacock will televise a Wild Card playoff game, followed by a Divisional Playoff game on the weekend of January 18-19.
