How to watch Peacock on Android TV
The first thing that an Android TV user needs to do is make sure they are signed up for Peacock. If you're not signed up, visit www.peacocktv.com and select what Peacock package you want to use.
Once that’s taken care of it only takes a few quick steps to start watching Peacock. Get going by heading to Google Play on the Android TV device. Search for “Peacock” in the search bar or browse through the available apps. After selecting the Peacock app, hit install. When Peacock is downloaded, launch the app and log in using your Peacock login information. And that’s that, you can start watching whatever is available through the Peacock app.

Peacock is currently only available in the U.S., but it will be expanding to international markets later in 2021.
