Peacock Announces NFL Coverage Plans Including Fantasy Show, ‘Sunday Night Football,’ Pre and Postgame Coverage
The new NFL season is nearly here, and Peacock has officially announced its plans for what the streamer has in store on Sundays this season. The streaming service will also air “Sunday Night Football” games, concurrently with their broadcasts on NBC. But in addition to that, Peacock will be offering programming both before and after each week’s games.
Mathew Berry, the longtime fantasy football expert for ESPN, joined up with NBC and Peacock this summer, and NBCUniversal’s streaming service has now announced that Berry will host a new show called “Fantasy Football Pregame” to get fans ready for their weekly fantasy matchups.
On the show, which will air each Sunday of the season from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET, Berry’s cohost will be another former ESPN host, Michael Smith. Jay Croucher will serve as the show’s gambling expert, with Rotoworld analysts Patrick ‘RotoPat’ Daugherty and Denny Carter also featured.
Berry will also host the weekday show “Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry” and appear on NBC’s pregame show, “Football Night in America,” which will also stream on Peacock.
Peacock also announced the return of “Peacock Sunday Night Football Final,” a postgame show that streams after the end of the “Sunday Night Football” game each week. That show will be hosted by Kathryn Tappen and Chris Simms, while also featuring appearances by NBC commentators Jac Collinsworth, Rodney Harrison, and Mike Florio.
