Named after NBC’s iconic logo, Peacock is a video streaming service primarily featuring series and film content from NBC Universal studios, as well as news and sports programming. Premium tiers include a larger content library and access to additional NBC Sports, Hallmark Channel, and WWE content—yes, we’re talkin’ wrasslin.’ And right now, you can get access to all those programs with a Peacock Premium subscription for 75% off when you apply the Peacock promo code at checkout.
With over 30 million subscribers and various plans, Peacock has quickly grown to be a popular streaming service alongside titans like Netflix and Hulu. It even won out against competitors for Olympics and exclusive Paralympics coverage this summer, along with having original favorites like The Office and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and popular films like Oppenheimer and Trolls, there’s something for everyone in the family on Peacock TV. Check out our Peacock coupons, along with other great ways to save while streaming your faves.
Students Can Save Big on Peacock
There are even more savings at Peacock, with eligible college students can get 12 months of Peacock Premium at $1.99 a month (instead of the current rate of $7.99 per month). If you want Peacock for the whole family, you can even stream on 3 devices at once and even create up to 6 profiles with kid-safety settings.
Watch Your Favorites on Peacock This Holiday Season and Beyond
One of the best things to do in that post holiday food coma is to put on a nostalgic movie that is good for the whole family, like the Harry Potter series. On Peacock, you can binge the entire Harry Potter saga in the background while dozing off and sneaking into the kitchen for seconds (or thirds).
If you’re like me and love to just absolutely turn your brain off (I’m talking no neuron flare ups would be detected in an MRI) and watch reality TV, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of Love Island. If you love watching Instagram models go from room to room to pool to gym and back again in a long-form version of a game of Telephone, this is the show for you. The great part is that every episode is about an hour long and there are approximately 4,200 episodes per season. Watching Love Island can take you through to the New Year if you do it right.
If I’m being honest, one of the biggest reasons I have Peacock is for their NFL coverage, including Sunday Night Football. (Yes, I love Love Island and also football, I contain multitudes). And after living across the country, I like to regularly watch the Chiefs, Bills, Niners, Raiders, Lions, and Chargers to keep up with the fandoms I’ve become a part of. Trying to find where I’d be able to watch the Sunday night football game was a headache, but now I can have the big game in my living room. (Now I’m just wondering when technology will catch up and bring Jalen Hurts into my living room as well).
Find Your Perfect Peacock Plan
Like other streaming services, Peacock has different streaming plans for every type of binge-watcher. Peacock Premium plan includes over 80k hours of streaming, with new and old shows, films, and originals, live sports, currently-running NBC and Bravo shows (OMG Real Housewives fans know), and over 50 channels that’re always streaming something. The Premium Plus plan includes everything I just mentioned, plus no ads (a huge W for people who chronically get on their phones during commercials and forget to pay attention when the show comes back on). Additionally, you can also download and watch certain titles offline, and get your local NBC channel live 24/7. Check out the full details on the differing Peacock plans to figure out which is right for you.
