Chris Collinsworth remains part of the NBC story as Jac Collinsworth keeps hosting Sunday Night Football Final on Peacock. NBC removed him from Football Night in America, but it did not push him out of Sunday Night Football entirely.
Peacock keeps Collinsworth
Jac Collinsworth will continue on Sunday Night Football Final with Devin McCourty, Jason Garrett, and Mike Florio. The postgame show is produced by NBC Sports and streams exclusively on Peacock, so his role stays tied to the network’s streaming side even after the pregame reset.
That setup gives NBC a cleaner split in how it uses him. Instead of a broad studio assignment, Collinsworth stays in a narrower postgame lane where Peacock can keep the show away from the main broadcast window and use it as part of its digital package.
Football Night in America overhaul
NBC removed Tony Dungy, Rodney Harrison, Chris Simms, and Matthew Berry from Football Night in America as part of a broader overhaul, and Collinsworth was caught in that same sweep. He previously hosted Sunday Night Football Final with Dungy and Harrison, so the shift changes the shape of his weekly role without ending it.
The move also follows a longer repositioning. NBC replaced him as its lead Notre Dame play-by-play voice with Dan Hicks in 2024, and he has since leaned more heavily into hosting and reporting. For NBC, that means keeping a familiar name in circulation while trimming his more prominent game-day duties.
10/10 and Sept. 18
Jac Collinsworth also gets a new assignment with 10/10: NBC Sports Ranks, a 30-minute weekly countdown show built around highlights and viral sporting moments. It premieres Fridays at 6 p.m. ET beginning Sept. 18, which gives him another NBC Sports platform beyond Sunday Night Football Final and helps explain why he was retained in the first place.
The broader read is straightforward: NBC cut him from one flagship studio panel, but it kept him inside the Sunday Night Football ecosystem and added a weekly streaming-friendly format on top. For viewers who follow Peacock’s football coverage, Collinsworth is still on the schedule — just in a different seat.
