Ravens games on Peacock depend on which game and which week

Not every Ravens game streams on Peacock. The games that do appear there are Sunday Night Football matchups when the Ravens play, plus occasional playoff games. Regular season games on Sunday afternoon, Monday night, or Thursday night do not stream on Peacock—those air on CBS, Fox, ESPN, or NFL Network instead. Peacock carries the game only if NBC has the broadcast rights that week.

To know whether a specific Ravens game is on Peacock, check the NFL schedule on NFL.com or your local TV listings. Look for games marked as "Sunday Night Football" or "NBC." If you see that label, the game will stream on Peacock the same time it airs on television.

You do not need a cable subscription to watch on Peacock. You need a Peacock account—either the free tier or a paid subscription. The paid tier (Peacock Premium) removes ads and costs around $6 per month with ads or $12 per month without, though pricing varies by region and promotional offers. The free tier includes ads but gives you full access to games that NBC broadcasts.

How to find Ravens games on Peacock

Open the Peacock app or go to peacock.com on your browser. Sign in with your Peacock account. If you do not have one, you can create a free account with an email address and a password.

Once logged in, look for the Sports section or search for "Ravens" or "NFL" in the search bar. Peacock displays upcoming games and live games under the Sports tab. If a Ravens game is scheduled to stream, it will appear there with the start time and a "Watch" button. The game will be listed with the opponent and kickoff time so you know exactly when to tune in.

What to do if the Ravens game is not on Peacock

If the Ravens game you want to watch is not on Peacock, find out which network has it. Check NFL.com, your local TV listings, or the Ravens' official website. The game will air on one of these networks: CBS, Fox, ESPN, or NFL Network.

If you have cable or a cable-replacement service like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or Sling TV, you can watch through that provider's app or website. If you do not have cable, some games are available through the NFL+ app (a subscription service run by the NFL itself), though NFL+ does not include all games and has blackout restrictions for local broadcasts.

For playoff games, check whether NBC has the broadcast rights. If NBC is showing the game, it will stream on Peacock. If another network has it, you will need that network's app or cable access. The NFL playoff schedule is published in December each year and shows which network broadcasts each game.

Blackout rules and regional restrictions

Some games may be blacked out in your region, meaning Peacock cannot stream them to you even though NBC has the rights. Blackouts happen when a local or regional broadcaster has exclusive rights to show the game in your area. This is rare for Sunday Night Football, but it can occur in certain markets.

If you see a blackout message, the game is likely available on a local or regional channel in your area. Check your TV listings or the Ravens' website to find which channel is showing it. You can also contact Peacock support if you believe a blackout is in error.
