Peacock, NBC Universal's streaming service, comes packed with entertainment options. Not only will you find episodes of current and past favorite series from NBC and Bravo, but the service has also expanded into sports content including Sunday Night Football, Premier League, Big Ten basketball and more.
While you cannot get a free trial for Peacock anymore, the amount of content still makes it a great deal and there are a few ways to save. Our guide shows you how to subscribe to Peacock and how to get a subscription for free.
Unlike other streaming platforms, Peacock doesn’t offer a trial. They used to offer a free plan that came with limited content options but discontinued it. And honestly, at $7.99 per month, you have over 80,000 options to stream, making it an incredible deal to consider. On top of this, Peacock has upped their game with live streaming sports, offering Big Ten football and basketball games. This is on top of the tennis, golf, premium live WWE events and other sports they offer.
There are several ways you can receive Peacock for free. If you’re a member of Instacart Plus, you can sign up for a free Peacock premium subscription. This is the ad-supported plan, which normally costs $7.99 per month. The subscription gives you access to live sports, replays of your favorite NBC shows and much more.
Another way to save on Peacock is if you have Xfinity internet service. If you have Gigabit or Gigabit Plus service, you receive Peacock Premium for free for two years. Or, if you're a Platinum or Diamond rewards member, you’ll be eligible for free Peacock service at no additional cost. Lastly, if you sign up for Comcast’s Now TV service, you also receive Peacock for free.
While Peacock doesn’t offer a free trial, their pricing is favorable compared to other platforms. With Peacock, you can stream over 80,000 titles for as low as $7.99 per month. That puts it on par with Paramount Plus and makes it less expensive than Hulu or Disney Plus.
Signing up for Peacock is simple to do. Visit their website, then select the plan you want. Peacock Premium is the ad-supported plan, costing $7.99 per month. The other plan is Peacock Premium Plus, starting from $13.99 per month. With Peacock Premium Plus, you have no ads (with limited exceptions), you can download and stream select titles offline and you have access to your local NBC channel.
Meanwhile, if you’re an Instacart Plus member, you’ll be able to sign up for a Peacock Premium subscription through Instacart. Upon doing so, use your login credentials to access Peacock content through their website or app.
And for Xfinity customers, it depends on how you achieved a free Peacock subscription. For Diamond or Platinum members, log in to your Xfinity account and find your rewards. From there, follow the prompts to set up a free account. If you have a faster internet plan (Gigabit or Gigabit Plus), log into your Xfinity account and follow the instructions to set up Peacock. For Now TV streaming members set up your Peacock Premium subscription by logging into your Xfinity account and following their prompts.
