Sports betting and iGaming operator BetMGM and NBC Sports announced Wednesday a new partnership for the 2022 NFL season highlighted by weekly integrations on Football Night in America (FNIA) and content across other NBC Sports platforms.
BetMGM will be featured on FNIA, which the company described as “the most-watched studio show in sports,” in a variety of content including a weekly segment hosted by former NFL quarterback Chris Simms and sports betting and fantasy pioneer Matthew Berry. This segment will highlight storylines and betting odds for the upcoming Sunday Night Football game on NBC, Peacock, and Universo. Real-time betting odds on FNIA’s scoring ticker also will be showcased.
Peacock Sunday Night Football Final, an NFL post-game show produced by NBC Sports, will “go deep into game storylines” and include BetMGM betting lines that proved prominent during the matchup.
