Notre Dame Football on NBC is an American presentation of college football games involving the Notre Dame Fighting Irish that are produced by NBC Sports, the sports division of the NBC television network in the United States. NBC Sports has broadcast all Notre Dame home games since September 7, 1991.[1]
Since NBC began airing Notre Dame home football games 33 years ago, NBC's deal[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] with the university has ensured that all of its home games are on national broadcast television, a unique configuration among American sports. Most of the games are televised in the afternoon, usually starting at 3:30 p.m. ET.
Since 2011, at least two games per season are played in prime-time, often played at neutral venues for the purposes of recruiting and financial benefits for playing at those sites, a high-profile matchup involving a major opponent, or to schedule around conflicts with other NBC Sports or NBC News programming. Since 2021, one game per season has aired on NBC's over-the-top streaming service Peacock. Previously, these games aired on an NBCUniversal-owned cable channel, such as USA Network.
