Peacock to Exclusively Live-Stream Notre Dame vs. UNLV College Football Game Oct. 22
October 20, 2022
NBC Sports has been televising Notre Dame football games for more than 30 years. But if you want to watch the Fighting Irish (3-3) take on the University of Las Vegas Rebels (4-3) this Saturday (Oct. 22), the only way besides attending the game in person is on the Peacock streaming platform.
The move comes as more live sports is made available across digital platforms. Amazon Prime Video this year is the only platform available to watch NFL “Thursday Night Football.”
In addition to Saturday’s game, Peacock live-streams all Notre Dame Football games that air on NBC, including pre- and postgame coverage. The streaming service has also provided exclusive live coverage of the Notre Dame Football Blue-Gold game, Notre Dame Pro Day and Notre Dame hockey.

NBC Sports’ Jac Collinsworth (play-by-play) and Jason Garrett (game analyst) will call the Saturday matchup with Zora Stephenson as the sideline reporter and Terry McAulay handling rules analysis.
Coverage of the game begins at 2 p.m. ET on Peacock with a 30-minute on-site pregame show previewing the matchup hosted by NBC Sports’Kathryn Tappen alongside guest analysts and alums Kyren Williams (Notre Dame) and Kenny Mayne (UNLV). Tappen, Williams and Mayne will also anchor halftime and postgame coverage.
Last weekend, the Fighting Irish narrowly fell to rival Stanford, 16-14, while UNLV lost to the Air Force, 42-7, at home.
Not everyone has streaming. Guess I’ll have to listen on The Catholic Channel on my radio. Not a happy fan.
