We’re expanding our partnership with NBCUniversal across YouTube and YouTube TV to bring even more of the content you love into one place. Soon, eligible YouTube Premium subscribers in the U.S. will gain access to ad-supported Peacock Premium.

YouTube Premium has always been about bringing your favorite creators, artists, and cultural moments together uninterrupted. Now, we’re pairing that ultimate viewing experience with Peacock’s expansive lineup of live sports, blockbuster Universal movies, and hit original series.

For subscribers, this means:

• All-in-one entertainment: In addition to existing YouTube Premium features including ad-free viewing on YouTube, background play, downloads and YouTube Music, subscribers will gain access to ad-supported Peacock Premium.
• Stream the best of NBCUniversal: On Peacock, dive into marquee live sports, award-winning and blockbuster movies, and hit series – including the NFL, NBA, Saturday Night Live, Love Island USA, and Law & Order: SVU – right on YouTube.
• More flexibility: We’ll also be introducing international bundles and options to let subscribers upgrade their Peacock membership and choose the best plan for them.

As part of this agreement, a selection of live sporting events from NBCUniversal will stream on NBC Sports’ YouTube channel to millions of users.

Our goal is to provide subscribers with more choice and a variety of ways to enjoy and discover their favorite content through their membership, all in one place. We’ll share more details and official launch dates with YouTube Premium subscribers over the coming months. You can read more from NBCUniversal here.
