Peacock is a cheap streaming service rather than a TV channel. Regretfully, Peacock does not currently offer a free trial. On the other hand, the service is reasonably priced. You have the option to pick between the $7.99/month Premium Plant that has advertisements and the $12.99/month ad-free Premium Plus Plan. You can cancel either plan whenever you choose.
The majority of smart TVs, video gaming consoles (such as the PS4, PS5, and XBOX), and streaming devices (such as Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, and Apple TV) support the Peacock app and streaming service. If you wish to watch on your phone or tablet, you may download it from the App Store or for Android. If you’re not sure whether your device is compatible, you can also look at Peacock’s extensive list of supported streaming devices.
