CBS and NBC are officially in as Big Ten TV partners, and ESPN is officially out.
After months of negotiations, the Big Ten officially announced its new television deal on Thursday, which will feature Big Ten football games on three different national broadcast networks – Fox, CBS and NBC – beginning in 2023 and running through the 2029-30 season.
Per the new deal, Fox will remain the Big Ten’s primary rightsholder and will broadcast one of the conference’s top games at noon each week, with Big Noon Saturday becoming an exclusive broadcast window for the Big Ten under the new contract.
