As Peacock embarks on a Legendary February full of 2026 Olympics, Super Bowl LX, and the NBA All-Star Weekend, we're more and more reminded that there’s nothing like sports. Fortunately, the competitive action can be satisfying to take part in as both a competitor and to watch as a viewer.

How to Watch

Stream Field Generals: History of the Black Quarterback on Peacock Thursday, February 5.

After you've gotten your live sports fix on Peacock, go inside your favorite sports with must-watch sports documentaries that take you off the court and into the lives of the athletes themselves. Beginning February 5, you'll get an amazing opportunity to do just that with Peacock's all-new docuseries Field Generals: History of the Black Quarterback, which offers an illuminating look at the history of Black quarterbacks’ contributions to pro football.   

You'll get to glimpse part one of the new docuseries starting on Thursday, February 5, but you'll have to wait for each upcoming Thursday over the next month to see all four episodes.
