We're entering the NFL Playoffs season but can you watch it and other games from the NFL on Peacock? The short answer is yes, but the long answer is more complex.

Peacock is one of several places you'll be able to stream NFL Playoff games, and you can find out more using our guide on how to watch the NFL playoffs online.

But that does mean that Peacock subscribers will be able to watch certain NFL games so if you're a subscriber, or just considering signing up, NFL fans will have something to see.

This is just one of the available live sports on Peacock, which also includes baseball, golf, college football and more. 

Here is everything that you need to know about how to watch NFL on Peacock this year.

How to watch NFL on Peacock

Plain and simple, if you want to watch the NFL on Peacock, all you need to do is sign up for the streaming service through either of its subscription plans. Both Peacock Premium and Peacock Premium Plus offer live streams of all live sporting events, including the NFL.

Peacock Premium is available for $7.99 per month ($79.99 per year), while Peacock Premium Plus goes for $13.99 per month ($139.99 per year). 

The big difference between the two plans is actually what you get outside of the NFL and sports. Peacock Premium Plus is ad-free and gives you access to live stream your local NBC station, meaning you can watch any NBC TV show or other programming live as it originally airs. With Peacock Premium you have to wait until it becomes available the next day to stream. Again, this does not apply to sports, as both plans allow you to stream those live. 

Can you watch the NFL on Peacock for free?

Unfortunately, Peacock no longer offers a free trial, so you cannot watch the NFL, or anything for that matter, on Peacock for free.
