NBCUniversal's streaming platform Peacock has grown into a major player in the competitive streaming landscape, surpassing 30 million subscribers and securing exclusive rights to high-profile events like the Olympics and Paralympics. With a content library spanning originals such as Poker Face and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, beloved classics like The Office, blockbuster films including Oppenheimer and Jaws, and extensive live sports programming, the service offers broad appeal. Fortunately for consumers juggling multiple subscriptions, several current promotions can reduce the cost significantly.
Annual Plans and Subscription Tiers Explained
Peacock structures its offerings across three main tiers. The Select plan costs $8 per month but does not include live sports. The Premium plan is priced at $11 per month and unlocks over 80,000 hours of streaming content, live sports, current NBC and Bravo programming, and more than 50 always-on channels. Premium Plus, at $17 per month or $170 per year, removes advertisements, enables offline downloads of select titles, and adds live access to the local NBC channel around the clock.
One of the most straightforward ways to save is by opting for an annual Premium plan. At $80 per year, subscribers effectively receive 12 months of service for the price of 10, paying the equivalent of $9 per month instead of the standard $11. Premium Plus members who choose annual billing pay $14 per month rather than $17. Households can stream on up to three devices simultaneously and create as many as six profiles, complete with kid-safety settings.
Special Discounts for Students, Military, and Teachers
Peacock offers targeted discounts for several groups. Eligible college students and young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 can subscribe to Peacock Premium for just $3 per month, representing an $8 monthly savings. Verification of age is the only requirement to activate this offer.
Active military members, veterans, teachers, medical workers, and other first responders can also access reduced pricing. After verifying their status, these groups receive 12 months of Peacock Premium for $4 per month. These exclusive offers make the platform particularly accessible for individuals on tighter budgets who still want access to live sports, original series, and the full NBCUniversal catalog.
Bundling Peacock with Apple TV+ and Xfinity
For viewers who subscribe to multiple services, bundling presents an opportunity for meaningful savings. Peacock has partnered with Apple TV+ to offer a combined package starting at $15 per month, which includes Apple TV+ and Peacock Premium. A higher tier combining Apple TV+ with Peacock Premium Plus starts at $20 per month and adds ad-free viewing and offline downloads. Existing Peacock subscribers billed directly by the platform can upgrade to the bundle through their account settings.
