What Is Big Ten Saturday Night?
Big Ten Saturday Night is NBC’s flagship college-football broadcast showcasing the biggest matchups from the Big Ten Conference every Saturday evening during the 2025 regular season. Since its launch in 2023, it has become the first dedicated weekly prime-time network slot for Big Ten football, pairing classic rivalries with national exposure. Every Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. ET (or later), NBC airs one marquee Big Ten game live, with simultaneous streaming on Peacock for cord-cutters. Select Friday games and early-afternoon matchups also stream exclusively on Peacock, expanding NBC’s coverage beyond prime time.
The 2025 season is particularly compelling because the Big Ten now fields 18 teams—including new powerhouses Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA—making the weekly slate deeper and more unpredictable than ever. Defending national champion Ohio State, perennial contender Michigan, Penn State, and newcomer Oregon headline a conference full of playoff aspirants.
