NBC Sports Network is returning to TVs next week.
NBCUniversal announced that it is launching a new version of the cable channel on Monday, Nov. 17.
“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,” Matt Schnaars, President, Platform Distribution and Partnerships, NBCUniversal, said in a press release.
“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.”

When did NBC Sports Network end before?
NBCUniversal shut down NBC Sports Network at the end of 2021.
The network originated in the 1990s as the Outdoor Life Network before being rebranded to Versus in 2006. Comcast rebranded it as the NBC Sports Network when it took over NBCUniversal in 2011.
NBCSN was previously home to NHL games, NASCAR races, Premier League matches, original shows and more.
100 days out from the Milan-Cortina Winter Games, here’s what makes this Olympics one for the history books.
Comcast owns NBC Universal, which is the parent company of this NBC station.
