  • The celebrity field features defending champion Joe Pavelski and top contenders Steph Curry, Austin Reaves and three‑time winner Tony Romo alongside a broad cast of athletes and entertainers.
  • Broadcasters set live windows for the weekend on Peacock and NBC with portions also carried on MSNBC and NBCSN to deliver afternoon coverage to viewers.
