In Week 3, Peacock presents two exclusive Big Ten matchups as Maryland hosts Towson at 3:30 p.m. ET and head coach Ryan Day and the defending National Champions Ohio State host Ohio at 7 p.m. ET on Big Ten Saturday Night. The Buckeyes (14-1) secured their seventh national title last season, winning four consecutive College Football Playoff games in the tournament's first 12-team field, culminating with a 34-23 victory over Notre Dame in the National Championship Game.

In a late season Black Friday special, the Indiana Hoosiers, who finished second in the Big Ten last season with a program-best 11 wins and earned their first spot in the College Football Playoffs, visit the Purdue Boilermakers on Friday, Nov. 28 at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.

As previously announced, NBC Sports' unprecedented 35th consecutive season broadcasting Notre Dame Football is headlined by primetime games against the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday, Sept. 13; USC Trojans on Saturday, Oct. 18; and Navy Midshipmen on Saturday, Nov. 8, all on NBC and Peacock.
