The most exciting thing about Michigan football’s season opener might be the channel the game is on or, more accurately, the fact that the game isn’t on any channel. That’s right; for the first time in the history of Michigan football, the Wolverines faithful won’t be able to watch the team on over-the-air TV or cable. As part of the Big Ten’s new TV deal with NBC, 8 games each season will stream exclusively on Peacock, and the Wolverines are first up.
The bottom line is this: if you are looking for how to watch the Michigan game on 9/2/23, your only option is Peacock.

5 Reasons to Watch Michigan vs. ECU
I will be watching the UM vs. ECU game based primarily on muscle memory as I can’t remember the last time I missed the Michigan season opener.
Here are 5 reasons to tune in despite what is likely to be a blowout UM win:
- It will be fun to see how star UM running back Blake Corum looks coming off the injury he suffered last season against Illinois.
- Michigan’s offensive line has 3 new pieces added from the transfer portal. How does the LT spot, in particular, look?
- The atmosphere in Ann Arbor will be festive and fun to have on in the background.
- How does the first Peacock broadcast go? Will there be some hiccups?
- It wasn’t all that long ago that the Wolverines lost at home to App State. Will they be vulnerable against a feisty ECU team?

Although they lost in the College Football Playoff to TCU, Michigan football had quite a run last season.
