You can get Peacock on most TVs either by installing the app directly on your TV or by using a streaming device like Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, or Chromecast.

Basic steps on a smart TV

On most modern smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Vizio, Sony, TCL, Hisense, etc.), the process is very similar.

  1. Open the Home menu on your TV with the remote.
  1. Go to your TV’s Apps / App Store / Google Play Store / LG Content Store (name depends on brand).
  1. Use the Search option and type “Peacock” or “Peacock TV”.
  1. Select the Peacock app and choose Install , Download , or Add channel.
  1. Open the app after install, then sign in with your Peacock account or create one if you don’t have it yet.

If your TV shows an activation code, you may be asked to go to a website like peacocktv.com/tv on your phone or computer and enter that code to link your TV.

If your TV doesn’t show Peacock

Some older TVs or models in certain regions do not have Peacock in their app store, but you still have options.

  • Use a streaming device
    • Plug in an Amazon Fire TV Stick , Roku , Apple TV , or Chromecast with Google TV into an HDMI port on your TV.
* Set the TV to that HDMI input.
* On the streaming device, open its app store, search for **Peacock** , install it, and sign in.
  • Cast from your phone or tablet
    • Install the Peacock app on your Android phone or iPhone.
* Make sure your phone and TV (or Chromecast/Apple TV) are on the **same Wi‑Fi network**.

* Start a show in Peacock, tap the **Cast** icon (Android/Chromecast) or **AirPlay** icon (Apple), and pick your TV or device.

Brand-specific quick notes

These are the typical paths by TV brand.

  • Samsung Smart TV (2017 or newer)
    • Home → Apps → Search “Peacock” → Install → Open and sign in.
  • LG Smart TV (webOS 3.5+)
    • Home → LG Content Store → Search → “Peacock” → Install → Open and sign in.
  • Vizio SmartCast
    • Home → look for the Peacock icon or search in the app row → Open and sign in, or cast from phone if it’s missing.
  • Android TV / Google TV (Sony, TCL, Hisense, etc.)
    • Home → Google Play Store / Apps → Search “Peacock TV” → Install → Open and sign in.

If Peacock still won’t work

If you installed it but it doesn’t open or keeps crashing, common fixes are:

  • Restart the TV (unplug for 30 seconds, then plug back in).
  • Update the TV’s software/firmware in Settings, then try again.
  • Delete the app and reinstall Peacock.
  • Use a streaming device (Roku/Fire TV/Apple TV/Chromecast) as a workaround if your TV’s app stays buggy.
