Sports fans on Peacock are about to get a major audiovisual upgrade . While Sunday Night Football is currently the only live sports offering featuring Dolby Atmos , that list is about to grow significantly . During CES , Dolby Laboratories announced that Peacock will be rolling out Dolby Vision and Atmos support across a wider range of live sporting events throughout the year. This expansion includes full support for Sunday Night Football as well as upcoming NBA and MLB coverage available to subscribers .

David Bohunek , Senior Vice President of Global Video Engineering at NBCUniversal, highlighted the importance of this fidelity . “Our partnership with Dolby ensures that whether our subscribers are streaming a thrilling playoff game , the latest Universal blockbuster , or a critically acclaimed Peacock Original , they’re experiencing it exactly as creators intended — with breathtaking picture and immersive sound that brings every moment to life,” Bohunek stated.

Beyond current standards , the companies revealed that Peacock will begin supporting Dolby Vision 2 and Dolby AC-4 later this year. Hailed as a “groundbreaking evolution” when Dolby introduced it at IFA 2025, Vision 2 is engineered for modern displays , utilizing AI to automatically calibrate the picture based on both the content and your viewing environment . On the audio front, the service is adopting AC-4 , a new format that Dolby claims will deliver the highest possible audio quality “at a much lower bandwidth than other formats.”
