Comcast CorpPeacock deal with YouTube Premium expands subscriber base and ad revenue, boosting NBCUniversal's value ahead of spin-off.
NBCUniversal has reached a multiyear agreement with Google’s YouTube to make Peacock programming available to YouTube Premium subscribers in the United States starting in early 2027. The deal will give YouTube Premium members access to live sports including NFL and NBA games, Universal Pictures films, Bravo shows, and Peacock originals, tapping into YouTube Premium’s global base of more than 125 million subscribers. Peacock reported 48 million paying subscribers as of June 30. The partnership also extends the existing YouTube TV distribution of NBCUniversal networks and expands an advertising pact to generate additional revenue from Peacock content on YouTube. The agreement follows discussions between Comcast Chairman Brian Roberts and YouTube CEO Neal Mohan that began about nine months ago, and comes as Comcast prepares to spin off NBCUniversal into a standalone company.
