Peacock TV is one of the more affordable streaming services on the web right now, with monthly plans starting from $7.99. Of course, there are plenty of bundle and ad-free options to browse between as well - the most you'll be paying is $19.99 per month.
If you opt for that cheapest plan you're getting the core streaming service with ads. If you're after live sports and Peacock Originals you'll need to move up to the Premium plan ($10.99 /mo), and the Premium Plus is your go-to for full download privileges and no ads ($16.99 /mo). Those are the basic plans, but if you're also hunting down Apple TV options it's also worth checking out your bundle options.

Peacock TV plans
All Peacock TV plans feature at least 80,000-plus hours of content spanning movies, TV shows, current NBC programs, and 24/7 virtual channels. You'll also have access to daily news, kids' shows and movies, and Spanish-language entertainment from Telemundo.
Peacock Premium features new shows, films and originals, live sports and events, current NBC and Bravo Shows, alongside over 50 "Always-On" channels. Premium Plus then removes ads altogether (though there are some limited exclusions), the ability to download and watch select titles online as well as having access to your local NBC Channel 24/7.
Peacock TV deals and free trials
You can save on Peacock prices by opting for an annual plan instead of paying per month. One year of Peacock Premium costs $109.99, for example, netting you 12 months for the price of ten.
Peacock Premium and Peacock Premium Plus no longer include a 7-day free trial.
Is Peacock TV worth it?
Peacock TV's basic tier provides a pretty decent variety of shows and movies from NBC Universal's vast portfolio of brands — largely thanks to its Peacock Channels.
While Hulu is arguably better for content at $7.99 per month (with ads) it does all come down to cost and your own individual situation. You can read more in our guide to the best Hulu prices and bundles.
Peacock Premium offers live sports and an extensive back-catalog of NBC's most-beloved programs, but Hulu has those, too. Shows like 30 Rock and Law & Order: SVU are available to stream on both Peacock TV and Hulu. Meanwhile, Hulu can be bundled with Disney Plus for $9.99 a month — adding more shows and movies to enjoy. Be sure to take a look at our latest Disney Plus bundles and ESPN Plus costs and price roundups for the best offers.
With the likes of Ponies, Hijack, and its own Traitors series, the streaming platform is definitely on the up. Then you have classic hits like Brooklyn 99, Modern Family, New Girl, Parks and Recreation, the list goes on.
Looking at movies, it's a bit more of a mixed bag but Peacock TV does have Jurassic World Rebirth, How to Train Your Dragon, Black Phone 2, and Bugonia to its name.
Which Peacock TV shows are included?
Peacock Premium and Premium Plus feature access to Peacock Originals' exclusive content. Peacock Originals include Poker Face, Rutherford Falls, Bel-Air, Brave New World, Girls5eva, Mrs. Davies, Yellowstone (season one to four), One of Us is Lying, Days of Our Lives, Killing it, Law & Order: Hate Crimes, and more.
Peacock Originals also encompass shows that were picked up for additional seasons after being aired elsewhere, like former NBC Must See TV comedy A.P. Bio.
Peruse the Peacock Premium TV library and you'll find full seasons of 30 Rock, Modern Family, The Office, Parks and Recreation, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Unsolved Mysteries, Battlestar Galactica, and more. The official Peacock website lets you browse the wider catalog before signing up too.
Which Peacock movies are available?
The Peacock movie lineup changes quite often, and feature titles spread out over the years. It's not the place for super new releases, but there are plenty of what you might call modern classics like Despicable Me and Bridesmaids, with plenty of other familiar titles going back to the 80s. It's also got the rights to stream the complete Harry Potter collection alongside some big recent releases like Nope, Tár, Minions: The Rise of Gru, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Jurassic World: Dominion, Knock at the Cabin, The Black Phone, Cocaine Bear, She Said, M3GHAN, and more.
It's the sort of movie collection where you'll be able to find plenty of really good older movies, but arguably ones you've seen before with a handful of new ones thrown in that you've been meaning to watch. It's definitely got better in 2023 with Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, for instance, debuting in cinemas on December 21st, 2022, and then popping up on Peacock from March 10th, 2023. We're expecting The Super Mario Bros. Movie to follow in a similar timeframe. Take a look at the up-to-date list on the official website.
Which Peacock Channels are available?
Peacock Channels are curated blocks of 24/7 streaming content that are accessible across all Peacock subscription tiers.
Choose from over 50 channels featuring news, sports, TV shows, and movies. Notable Peacock Channels include The Office Zen, Premier League TV, The Bob Ross Channel, SNL Vault, Hallmark Channel, NBC News Now, Sky News, Today All Day, NBC Sports, WWE Network, GolfPass, Dateline 24/7, True Crime, Saturday Night Live with more added reasonably regularly. You can find the full list of channels on the Peacock TV site.
Is Peacock TV free?
Peacock TV is no longer free as of January 2023. The decision was made by owners NBCUniversal in a move to help growth with paid plans. As a result, the only way to stream Peacock TV content is to sign up for one of its plans. The cheapest plan is available for $7.99 a month or $79.99 a year, however, that does come with ads.
Is Peacock on Roku and Fire Stick?
Peacock supports streaming on Roku, Chromecast, Android TV, Apple TV, and various gaming consoles and smart TVs. And as of June 2021, it's finally available on Amazon Fire TV devices too, so you no longer have to sideload it.
