You want to stream NBCUniversal content, live sports, and hit movies. Peacock TV delivers this. We break down the plans, channel lineups, and setup process so you can start watching immediately.
Plans and Pricing (2025)
Peacock changed its pricing structure in mid-to-late 2025. You now choose from three main tiers.
- Select ($7.99/month): This entry-level plan gives you access to the library with ads. You watch movies, past seasons of shows, and specific live channels. You do not get live local NBC stations or offline downloads.
- Premium ($10.99/month): This plan unlocks the full library, including next-day streaming for current NBC shows and expanded live sports coverage like Premier League and Sunday Night Football. You still see ads during on-demand content.
- Premium Plus ($16.99/month): This top-tier option removes ads from on-demand content. You also get your live local NBC channel and the ability to download titles for offline viewing on mobile devices.
Annual options exist for each tier. You typically save about 17% by paying upfront for the year rather than monthly.
