NBC Sports Network will cease operations in 2021
The network will stop operations by the end of 2021, a person familiar with the plan confirmed to CNBC. NBC will transfer its sports media rights, including the National Hockey League, to USA Network. USA Network is available in 86 million homes, while NBCSN has an estimated 80 million household reach. Comcast owned the network when it took over NBCUniversal in 2011, and rebranded it as the NBC Sports Network at that time. NHL playoff games, a selection of NASCAR races, and Premier League content will transfer to USA Network after NBCSN closes.
