Seasons come and go, but LIVE sports never stop on Peacock. Peacock’s expansive live sports programming includes Premier League, Sunday Night Football, Big Ten Football, college basketball, winter sports, and more. Want to see it all? We put together this guide to all the big live sports and events happening this week from Dec 12 through Dec 18. Check out the schedule: 

Swimming 

World Aquatics Swimming Championships 25m 

World-class swimmers already look unbelievably fast in a 50m Olympic-size pool. How do you think they’d look in the one you probably have at your local rec center? The 25m championships, also known as Short Course Worlds, is underway. Taking place in a 25m pool, this is the ultimate sprint, featuring gold medalists Kate Douglass, Regan Smith, Gretchen Walsh, and Lilly King. 

Thursday at 11:30a ET: Day 3 

Friday at 11:30a ET: Day 4 

Saturday at 11:30a ET: Day 5 

Sunday at 11:30a ET: Day 6 

 

Speed Skating

ISU Speed Skating World Cup 

The Short Track World Tour heads to Seoul for its next stop. Canada and China were the stars of last week’s tournament in Beijing, Canada bringing home three gold medals and China taking two. The United States got one as well, with American Corinne Stoddard winning the Women’s 1500m event. These events may be late at night for us, but as soon as the first race starts, sleep will be the last thing on your mind. 

Saturday at 12a ET: Seoul – Day 1 

Sunday at 12a ET: Seoul – Day 2 

 

Soccer 

Premier League

Last week was one of those weeks where, even if you watched every Premier League match you could, you’d still look at the table afterwards and go, “wait, what?” Liverpool is still on top, but a draw at Newcastle cut their lead to four points. Still more than a game clear of second place, but they’re not quite an unbeatable juggernaut yet. The big surprise is Chelsea, who kept their run of good form going with a 4–3 defeat of Tottenham last weekend. After draws from Arsenal and Man City, the Blues are now in second place. Liverpool has a chance to restore their cushion at the top when they take on Fulham, though it won’t be easy. The Cottagers have just held Arsenal to a draw, and will aim to do at least that in Liverpool this weekend.  

Saturday at 10a ET: Arsenal v. Everton 

Saturday at 10a ET: Liverpool v. Fulham 

Saturday at 10a ET: Wolves v. Ipswich 

Saturday at 12:30p ET: Nottingham Forest v. Aston Villa 

Sunday at 2p ET: Southampton v. Tottenham 

Watch Premier League on Peacock.

 

USL Super League 

It’s here. The final day of the winter session of the first-ever USL Super League season. We’ve already seen some fantastic soccer, and it’s only going to get more exciting with every team playing on the same day. The season isn’t over yet. It’ll pick back up in February, but these standings are going to stick for a while. Brooklyn FC took their fifth straight win to stay at the top of the table. The win put them three points clear of second place, but the bigger surprise is Dallas Trinity taking the second-place spot from Carolina Ascent. The Ascent looked like they’d be fighting for the top spot, but back-to-back losses had them falling to third place. Nobody is more than a game ahead of anyone else in the top half, though. This weekend could deliver yet another seismic shift, and these records will stick for a while. 

Saturday at 12p ET: Lexington SC v. DC Power 

Saturday at 3:30p ET: Dallas Trinity v. Brooklyn FC 

Saturday at 7p ET: Tampa Bay Sun v. Spokane Zephyr 

Saturday at 7:30p ET: Fort Lauderdale United v. Carolina Ascent 

 

Boxing 

BOXXER 

What happens when two champions collide in the ring? Only one champion walks out. IBF World Welterweight Champion Natahsa Jonas faces WBC World Welterweight Champion Ivana Habazin in a match that will unify the titles. Neither champion is undefeated, and both have some high-profile KOs to their names. Hailing from Liverpool, Jonas has the home crowd advantage, but will that be enough against a heavy hitter like Habazin? We’ll find out. 

Saturday at 2p ET: Natasha Jonas v. Ivana Habazin 

Watch Boxing on Peacock.

 

Golf 

Grant Thornton Invitational 

We don’t get a ton of opportunities to watch team golf throughout the year, even though it’s one of the most exciting formats. The Grant Thornton Invitational pairs the best of the PGA Tour with the best of the LPGA Tour on one of the country’s best courses. 16 teams will face off at Tiburón Golf Club in Naples, FL. Defending champions Lydia Ko and Jason Day will pair up once again against Nelly Korda and Tony Finau, Lexi Thompson and Rickie Fowler, and more. 

Saturday at 3p ET: Round 3 

Sunday at 2p ET: Final Round 

Watch Golf on Peacock.

Winter Sports

FIS Alpine World Cup 

The action on the slopes is back at Beaver Creek. This week, we get a of couple days to bask in all the unreal speed and giant snow sprays the sport has to offer. First, the men finish up the Giant Slalom competition. Then, the women join the fun with Downhill and Super-G events on Sunday. It’s almost enough to make you wish for a snowstorm of your own. Almost. 

Saturday at 5p ET: Men’s Giant Slalom Run 2 

Sunday at 4p ET: Women’s Downhill and Super-G 

Watch Winter Sports on Peacock.

 

WWE 

Saturday Night’s Main Event 

It’s been more than 16 years since Saturday Night’s Main Event graced our TV screens. In fact, TV screens were our only option to watch it back then. Now, you can watch on whatever device you want as Cody Rhodes takes on Kevin Owens at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY. You’ll also see Liv Morgan vs. Iyo Sky for the Women’s World Championship, and Gunther vs. Finn Bálor for the World Heavyweight Championship. Normally, we’d have to wait for a Premium Live Event for matches like these, but Saturday Night’s Main Event is LIVE on Peacock and NBC. 

Saturday at 8E/5P: Saturday Night’s Main Event 

Watch WWE on Peacock.

Football 

NFL 

Week 15 of Sunday Night Football takes us to Green Bay where the Seattle Seahawks are in town to face the Packers. This kind of game is exactly what makes December football so great. Every time these teams clash, it feels like a lot is on the line. Seattle is on top of the NFC West after fighting their way to 8–5. They need this win to hold that division. The Packers on the other hand have a better record than Seattle but are third in the NFC North. They play in one of the most competitive divisions in football. It’s not unrealistic to think that three NFC North teams will make the playoffs. For that to happen though, the Packers need to keep the wins coming. They will bring all that NFC North fight to bear against the Seahawks this Sunday. 

Sunday at 7p ET: Seattle Seahawks vs. Green Bay Packers 

Sunday at 11:30p ET: Peacock Sunday Night Football Final  

Watch NFL on Peacock.

 

Basketball 

Big East Men’s Basketball 

We got all the college basketball we could ask for on Tuesday night. It all starts in the Big East conference with DePaul vs. St. John’s. These teams are second and third in the conference, so you know this one’s gonna get competitive. With an absolute gauntlet of conference matchups set for the new year, any chance to get some Big East wins in December is huge. Keep the fun going with Seton Hall vs. Villanova. Both teams had a rough start to the season, and this will be a crucial get-right game before the new year. 

Tuesday at 6p ET: DePaul vs. St. John’s 

Tuesday at 7:30p ET: Seton Hall vs. Villanova 

Watch Big East Basketball on Peacock.

 

Atlantic 10 Men's Basketball

The Dayton Flyers have been, well, flying with only two losses and staying perfect at home (at time of writing). Currently fifth place in the conference, they have a real shot if they can fight their way to the top. The UNLV Runnin’ Rebels have had a much rockier season, losing all three of their road games so far. That will only make them hungrier though. This will be a tough matchup for the fliers, especially since it comes days after a tough matchup against a highly-ranked opponent. Do they have the gas to take the win on Tuesday night? 

Tuesday at 7p ET: UNLV vs. Dayton 

 

Big Ten Men’s Basketball 

Cap off the night of pure college basketball excess with the Buckeyes. Ohio State has seen some ups and downs in recent weeks, but that only makes this matchup more crucial. The Big Ten is no easy conference when it comes to basketball, so they need all the wins they can get before facing all their conference opponents in 2025. Valparaiso, or Valpo, is tenth in the Missouri Valley conference, and they’ll have a lot to prove against a team like Ohio State. This game will keep the adrenaline pumping long into the night. 

Tuesday at 8p ET: Valpo vs. Ohio State 

Watch Big Ten Men's Basketball on Peacock.
