Quick Look: The NBC Sports channel has recently combined several of its other sports channels into one location including NBC Sports Gold, NBC Golf, The Olympic Channel and Telemundo Deportes. The channel features live sporting events, full event replays, and event highlights from the NFL, NHL, MLB, Premier League, NASCAR, IndyCar, College football, Kentucky Derby, PGA Tour, and more. Live events and full replays are available only to those who subscribe to a participating pay TV provider, but cord cutters shouldn't write this channel off. There are hundreds videos under the "Featured" and "Highlights" category, which don't require channel authentication. These highlights are listed by date, but you can filter for specific sports by selecting the desired sport from the listing found at the top of the channel.
The channel's "Live and Upcoming" category lists events that will be streamed over the next month. The replay library isn't as extensive as it used to be. The channel used to carry replays from the last six months but as of February 2019 there are 250 replays listed dating back approximately one month, vs. over 312 full event replays when we last reviewed this channel in October 2016.
