Peacock, Comcast’s streaming service, is set to air another NFL game in September, featuring the Philadelphia Eagles. This will be the second time Peacock streams an NFL game, following the well-received playoff game in January. However, this upcoming game will be a regular season match, so it is not expected to attract the same level of attention as the playoff game.
Despite some controversy surrounding the last time Peacock aired an NFL game, which was met with mixed reactions from viewers, this upcoming game will take place in Sao Paulo, Brazil on a Friday. Some fans may complain about the timing and location of the game. Nevertheless, Peacock is likely to continue streaming NFL games in the future due to the success of the playoff game in January, which resulted in record broadband usage and high ratings. Nearly 3 million people signed up for Peacock to watch the playoff game in January and most of them have continued their subscription to the service.
