Peacock is not fully free for new users anymore; in 2025 it works mainly as a paid streaming service with some ways to get it free or very cheap through promos and bundles.

Is Peacock free right now?

  • The original always-free plan for new signā€‘ups has been discontinued, so new users generally need a paid subscription to watch Peacock.
  • People who grabbed the old free tier before early 2023 can still watch a limited selection without paying, but this option is no longer open to new accounts.

Current prices in 2025

  • Peacockā€™s main paid plan (often called Premium) is around the lowā€‘doubleā€‘digit dollar range per month and includes ads.
  • An upgraded adā€‘free tier (often called Premium Plus) costs more per month but removes most ads and adds extra perks like offline downloads.

Ways to get Peacock ā€œfreeā€ or discounted

  • Certain subscriptions and promos (for example, some Walmart+ or Xfinity rewards offers) can include Peacock Premium at no extra cost for eligible members.
  • Other deals (like student discounts) can drop the price to just a few dollars per month for a year, effectively making it ā€œalmost freeā€ compared with the standard rate.

What ā€œfree Peacockā€ usually means now

  • ā€œFree Peacockā€ in 2025 usually refers to:
    • Legacy users who still have the old free tier with limited content.
* Bundle or promo deals where another service pays for your Peacock subscription.
  • For everyone else, expect to pay monthly unless you qualify for one of those offers.
