Get a year of Peacock for just $20 ahead of a busy summer of streaming
This is a streaming deal you don't want to miss
NBCUniversal's streaming service Peacock has a busy summer ahead of it, with some exciting new originals planned for the coming months, and now there's a great streaming deal so you can catch them for cheap.
To celebrate its exciting calendar, Peacock is offering a limited-time deal that nets you a year's subscription for just $19.99 — yep, less than $20. For some context services like Max and Netflix cost that same amount for a single month of their highest tiers.
This deal is on an annual subscription to Peacock Premium, which is the ad-supported and no-download tier, that normally costs $49.99 per year. There's no deal on Peacock Premium Plus, the $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year tier that lets you download content and doesn't have adverts. The deal is open to returning subscribers but not existing ones.
To sign up for this Peacock deal, you need to head to the Peacock website and use the code SUMMEROFPEACOCK — or, alternatively, you can head to this link and sign up, which takes you straight to the checkout.
This deal ends on Monday, June 12, but if you wait until then to sign up you'll miss out on some of the sports events that occur before then, including the Indy 500 or the start of the French Open, both on Sunday, May 28.
Peacock Premium annual plan: $49.99 $19.99
You can get a year of Peacock's lower tier for 60% off, saving you plenty of cash before you revert to the full price next year. This tier doesn't allow downloads and has ads, unlike Premium Plus, but it's cheaper as a result.
Offer expires Monday, June 12
