The NBC Sports Regional Sports Networks (RSN) are cable television networks that exhibit live MLB, NBA and/or NHL games as well as pre- and post-game coverage and other shows about the region’s athletes, teams and sports. The RSNs are now being offered as add-on subscriptions to Peacock Select, Peacock Premium and Peacock Premium Plus Plan subscribers. Subscribers to the add-on subscriptions will have direct access to NBC Sports Bay Area, NBC Sports Boston, NBC Sports California or NBC Sports Philadelphia to stream the networks’ live 24/7 channel. 

The RSNs are monthly add-on subscriptions. You must first have a Peacock Select, Peacock Premium or Peacock Premium Plus subscription to purchase one.  When purchasing an RSN, you will be prompted to enter your home zip code.

Once you purchase an RSN, you must be located within the territory of that respective RSN to watch its regional sports coverage for the first time. After that, you will also be able to view its regional sports coverage outside of the respective RSN territory for up to 37 consecutive days before you need to revalidate your home zip code. This can be done by viewing RSN content while located back within your established home zip code area.

Please note, once your home zip code is established, it can only be updated up to three times every twelve months. You may only have one active home zip code per Peacock account. If you have two homes, you will need to designate one as your home zip code. If you moved and your new home zip code is outside the territory of your current RSN(s), you will need to cancel and lapse from those RSN subscriptions first before you will be able to update your home zip code.

Regardless of whether the RSN is available to purchase based on your zip code, you may still experience in-market blackouts of certain teams’ games (including blackouts of all games for certain teams in particular zip codes) based on your location consistent with television availability and league policies. For details about such in-market blackouts in particular zip codes, please see here.

What if I have already purchased an RSN, and I have not added my home zip code?

If you have already purchased an RSN add-on subscription and you were not initially prompted to add your home zip code, you can do so at any time by visiting your account page.

The home zip code you enter when searching for RSN add-on subscriptions will determine what RSNs are available to you for purchase. If you purchase an RSN and move within the territory of such RSN, you may gain or lose access to different sports teams covered by such RSN.

Below are the general in-market territories of each RSN add-on subscription available for purchase; however, access to teams’ live games via such RSN is determined on a zip code basis. Regardless of whether an RSN is available to purchase based on your zip code, in-market blackouts of certain teams’ live games (including blackouts of all games for certain teams in particular zip codes) may still apply consistent with television availability and league policies. For details about such in-market blackouts in particular zip codes, please see here. 

What teams are available within each RSN? 

Please note that regardless of whether a particular RSN is available to purchase based on your zip code, you may still experience in-market blackouts of certain teams’ live games (including blackouts of all games for certain teams in particular zip codes) based on your location consistent with television availability and league policies. For details about such in-market blackouts in particular zip codes, please see here. 

Once you purchase an RSN, you must be located within the territory of that respective RSN to watch its regional sports coverage for the first time. After that, you will also be able to view its regional sports coverage outside of the respective RSN territory for up to 37 consecutive days before you need to revalidate your home zip code. This can be done by viewing RSN content while located back within your established home zip code area.

Please note, once your home zip code is established, it can only be updated up to three times every twelve months. You may only have one active home zip code per Peacock account. If you have two homes, you will need to designate one as your home zip code. If you moved and your new home zip code is outside the territory of your current RSN(s), you will need to cancel and lapse from those RSN subscriptions first before you will be able to update your home zip code.

Any geographic restrictions and blackouts are enforced according to your location and home zip code when traveling.

What happens if I cancel my Peacock subscription with an active RSN add-on?

If the billing date for your RSN add-on is the same as your Peacock subscription, then the RSN add-on will also cancel when your Peacock subscription expires.

If the billing date for your RSN add-on is different than your Peacock subscription, you will continue to be charged for the RSN add-on and it will be automatically canceled when your Peacock subscription expires. You will be issued a prorated refund for any remaining portion of the RSN add-on.
