If you want to test out the NBCUniversal streaming service Peacock, then you may be wondering whether there's a Peacock free trial to let you test out the video platform without having to pay any money.
Free trials used to be all the rage for streaming services, but that's no longer the case for most. Now, other than the likes of free streaming services or Apple TV Plus free trials, you generally have to spend money to watch movies or shows online.
That's also the case for Peacock, sadly. While you can use the odd streaming deal to save money, you can no longer stream for free if you want to catch all the Peacock Originals, Universal movies on Peacock and live-streamed sports.
Is there a Peacock free trial?
Peacock used to offer a seven-day free trial, so you could test out its offerings before committing to the monthly or annual plan, but in 2021 it was removed.
That's a growing trend in streaming services with Disney Plus and Netflix also removing such offerings.
So now, to watch anything on Peacock, you'll have to subscribe.
- Peacock Premium: this is the cheapest of Peacock's all-access plans because for the lower cost $5.99 per month, $59.99 a year you have to sit through ads.
- Peacock Premium Plus: if you can't bear the adverts and want to get rid of them, then you'll need to go for the top plan — Premium Plus costs $11.99 a month or $119.99 annually.
Peacock also used to have a free plan, but in early 2023, that was removed.
What does Peacock Premium or Peacock Premium Plus include?
As a Peacock Premium or Peacock Premium Plus subscriber, you'll be able to access plenty more content, including Peacock Originals like Girls5eva and Rutherford Falls. You'll also get next-day access to current NBC/Bravo hits like Below Deck and Real Housewives.
Plus you can start streaming live sports and events including Premier League soccer, golf and Sunday Night Football. Peacock is also the exclusive US home of the Eurovision Song Contest.
You can watch on bags of different devices from computers, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Samsung Smart TV, Chromecast, LG Smart TVs, as well as Xbox and PlayStation games consoles. Premium Plus subscribers can also download and watch selected titles offline.
