For the Michigan or Michigan State fans who didn't yet bite the bullet on Peacock, it's probably time do so before basketball season rolls around.

Both the Wolverines and Spartans will play five games exclusively on Peacock, the NBC-owned streaming platform, in the 2023-24 season, including their head-to-head matchup in East Lansing on Jan. 30.

The Big Ten announced the full schedules for men's basketball on Tuesday. Michigan's other Peacock-only games are at home against Indiana (Dec. 5) and Minnesota (Jan. 4), and at Purdue (Jan. 23) and Illinois (Feb. 13).
