NBC Sports Northwest (originally Comcast SportsNet Northwest) was an American regional sports network owned by the NBC Sports Group unit of NBCUniversal, as an affiliate of NBC Sports Regional Networks. The network broadcast regional coverage of professional sports events throughout the Pacific Northwest, focusing primarily on the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers and college sports events involving the Oregon Ducks. It also covered other sports events involving teams within the northwestern United States, including those featuring college and high school teams.[1]

The network was available on cable providers throughout Oregon and Washington. The network maintained business offices, master control operations and studio facilities located in Portland; NBC Sports Northwest maintained a secondary studio in the Moda Center used for Trail Blazers game coverage.

The network shut down at the end of the broadcast day on September 30, 2021.[2]
