You get Peacock by signing up for a Peacock account, choosing a plan, and then installing the Peacock app on a supported device like a smart TV, phone, or streaming stick.

What Peacock is

Peacock is NBCUniversal’s streaming service with TV shows, movies, originals, and live sports like select NFL and NBA games.

It runs as a subscription platform; the old always-free tier for new sign‑ups is no longer offered, though some older free accounts still work.

Plans and pricing basics

  • Peacock now focuses on paid plans rather than a permanent free tier for new users.
  • There are multiple ad‑supported and ad‑free options, with core plans starting around the low double‑digit monthly price range and a cheaper “Select” plan offering limited content.
  • The Select plan includes current‑season and library shows but excludes Peacock Originals, live sports/events, and most films.

Step‑by‑step: how to get Peacock

  1. Go to the official Peacock website in a browser.
  1. Create an account with your email and password, then follow the prompts to pick a subscription plan (Select, Premium, or an ad‑free tier, depending on what’s currently offered).
  1. Add payment details and confirm your subscription so your plan activates immediately.
  1. Install the Peacock app on your device (smart TV app store, Roku Channel Store, Fire TV, Apple TV, mobile app store, or use the website directly).
  1. Sign in with the same email and password you used on the website to start watching.

Where you can watch

Peacock is available on:

  • Most major smart TVs
  • iOS and Android phones and tablets
  • Roku, Apple TV, Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV
  • Xbox, PlayStation, Chromecast, Xfinity and Flex devices, plus via web browser on peacocktv.com.

Supported device lists can change, so checking Peacock’s official site is the safest way to confirm your device.

Ways to pay less or get it “free”

  • Some internet and TV providers have periodically offered Peacock access as a perk or bundle.
  • From time to time, mobile carriers, banks, or credit‑card reward programs run promos that cover some or all of a Peacock subscription.
  • Bundle deals (for example, with other streaming services) may reduce the overall price versus subscribing separately, depending on current promotions.
