NBCUniversal partners with YouTube to distribute Peacock globally

NBCUniversal and YouTube have signed a multi‑year global strategic partnership that makes Peacock available to YouTube Premium subscribers in the United States and expands the reach of Universal+ and Hayu in selected international markets. The deal lets YouTube users stream Peacock’s premium entertainment, including live sports such as NFL games and NBA basketball, blockbuster movies and original series, while also deepening the companies’ advertising and technology collaboration.

Mike Cavanagh, co‑CEO of Comcast, said the partnership brings “world‑class content and iconic franchises to YouTube’s unmatched scale and global platforms.” Neal Mohan, CEO of YouTube, added that the deal “redefines what a modern entertainment subscription can be for consumers,” combining creator content with Peacock’s lineup.

The agreement is NBCUniversal’s largest wholesale distribution partnership to date and comes as the company prepares for a spin‑off from Comcast, positioning it to grow its subscriber base through YouTube’s platform.
