All you need to know about Peacock TV, NBCUniversal's streamer.
In the US? All you have to do to watch Peacock TV for free is head here, and create an account by entering an email and password. You don't need to do anything else to access the free tier, but the service is only available in the US.
In the UK, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Switzerland or Austria? You can't access the subscription model at all, including the free tier, but you do get Peacock included as part of your Sky TV package (or included with a NOW TV subscription in the UK).
Peacock has three pricing tiers for the USA and selected US territories – one free tier and two premium tiers. The latter include one with ads and one without. Check out the full breakdown of the differences in content between each tier further down this page, but here are the differences between each tier, and the monthly cost for each, and what they get you:
Peacock Free
•Over 10,000 hours of content, but not full series.
•A wide variety of movies, NBC shows, dramas, and reality shows.
•A small selection of live sports.
•Ads play during content.
Yes, there's a 7-day Peacock TV free trial for the Premium and Premium Plus tiers. You can choose from the plan picker page here.How to watch Peacock
These are the supported devices to watch Peacock on:
Web browsers:
•Chrome 75+ (Windows/Mac)
•Firefox 88+ (Windows/Mac)
•MS Edge 80+ (Windows/Mac)
•Safari 12+ (Mac)
If you're in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Austria or Switzerland, you can watch Peacock via Sky TV platforms. It is included as part of a Sky Glass, Sky Q, Sky+ and NOW package (depending on availability of each in your territory). Simply say "Peacock" into your remote or find it in the apps rail.
You won't get access to the full Peacock library or channels, but there is some good content available, including complete collections of shows like Suits, The Office, House and Downton Abbey. There's also reality TV aplenty, including The Real Housewives, Keeping Up With The Kardashians and Below Deck, plus films including About Time and Brüno. However, the selection appears to be reducing so it isn't clear what the future holds for the service outside of the USA.
The shows and movies you get on Peacock TV in the US depend on whether you're with the free or premium tiers. Movies on Peacock aren't as brilliant as the TV content, but there are some worthy titles. Movies on the free tier aren't wide-ranging, but include We Need to Talk About Kevin, Fever Pitch and Highlander. A big win for Peacock is the inclusion of all the Harry Potter films.
But the premium tier unlocks a host of better content, like 50 First Dates, The 40 Year-Old Virgin, 13 Going On 30, three of the Fast & Furious line-up and How To Train Your Dragon 2.
TV shows are arguably a bigger deal for Peacock, though, with The Office as a standout pick.
Free tier shows
These are some of the shows that have free episodes or full series:
The Office, Parks and Recreation, Weeds, Everybody Hates Chris, Eureka, The Fall, Battlestar Galactica (the modern version), Parenthood, Suits, New Amsterdam, Psych, House, Monk, Bates Hotel, Downton Abbey, Friday Night Lights, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Frasier, Cheers
In a crowded streaming market, platforms need to raise their original content game to compete. Peacock's line-up is pretty strong. The following originals are exclusive to the Premium tier, but you can watch a few free episodes to get you started.
•We Are Lady Parts: A music-based comedy about a Muslim punk band in London.
•Dr Death: A crime drama anthology.
•Saved By The Bell: A reboot of the original '90s classic series about American high school.
•A.P Bio: Drama centred on hotel-casino security surveillance employees.
•Rutherford Falls: Two friends are tested when a crisis hits their small town.
Sports are a clear focus of the Peacock strategy.
There's a huge range of sports on offer, both live and on-demand, with Premier League, Sunday Night Football, Golf, SuperMotocross, WWE, Rugby, Horse Racing, Figure Skating and Track & Field all available to watch.
As well as a library of on-demand content, Peacock has over 50 always-on channels included with its Premium and Premium Plus tiers. These include Hallmark channels, News, Sports and Crime & Mystery – and a new addition is your local NBC channel, included with Premium Plus. Much like Hulu it's like having TV integrated into the service.
May 16, 2024 · Does Peacock have a free trial? Though Peacock Premium has had 7-day free trials in the past, it has recently discontinued this offering, likely because of the upcoming Olympics coverage.
