Overtime’s prominent 7v7 football league, OT7, is coming to a television near you.
NBC Sports announced a partnership on Thursday with Overtime and in conjunction with the Navy All-American Bowl, which has been televised by NBC Sports for more than 20 years.
Starting this spring, NBC Sports will promote OT7’s playoff and championship weekend, with select games to be shown on June 13-14 at 2 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. The league draws some of the top high school football prospects in the 2027, 2028, and 2029 classes and is already underway this spring with the third weekend of games coming on Saturday.
Notable former OT7 players include Ohio State wide receiver and All-American wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, Oregon quarterback and 2027 projected first-round Dante Moore, and Michigan star freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood, among others.
The two companies will also partner during the annual All-American Bowl Week in January, as well as the creation of original content.
“We don’t think about this as a single broadcast event. We think about it as the beginning of a long-term relationship between OT7, NBC Sports, and millions of fans that follow these football properties,” said Marc Kohn, Overtime’s President of Content and Media, in a press release. “Our job now is to make the fan experience so compelling they become lifelong fans of OT7 and the Navy All-American Bowl. That’s what we’re focused on.”
