Peacock, the NBCUniversal-owned streaming service, is rapidly gaining a reputation as offering a better lineup for sports than any streamer that’s not named ESPN. The service has just unveiled its sports offering for December 2023 and we’ve picked the top five events that will be added to Peacock during the month. And here they are:
Five Best Sports Coming to Peacock In December
1. Los Angeles Chargers vs. Buffalo Bills (Peacock exclusive)
Yes, on Saturday, December 23, at 8 p.m. ET, Peacock will host the Los Angeles Chargers-Buffalo Bills game — exclusively. This will be the streamer’s first exclusive NFL game, meaning it will not be available nationally on any other channel or streaming service. (Local channels in the teams’ markets will carry the game.) Peacock will also have an exclusive playoff game on January 13, 2024.
2. Kansas City Chiefs vs. Green Bay Packers
The December 3 matchup between the Chiefs and Packers is not an exclusive (NBC will broadcast it) but it’s a high-profile game, particularly if Taylor Swift shows up. (Not likely, of course; it’s at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. In December.)
3. Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys
And speaking of a high-profile contest, the Eagles-Cowboys game on December 10 at 8 p.m. ET could help decided the winner of the NFC East. (Again, NBC will show the game as well.)
4. Big Ten College Basketball Doubleheaders
Peacock is hosting three dozen Big Ten college basketball games this season and this month’s lineup will start on December 5 with Indiana-Michigan and Wisconsin- Michigan State. Nice matchups, but even better? They will be available in 4K.
5. College Basketball’s 2nd Annual Indy Classic
Peacock will stream the Indy Classic Men’s Basketball tournament on December 16 with games between Arizona and Purdue, and Ball State and Indiana State. This is a Peacock exclusive.
