Stream NFL Games for Less: Score the Best Peacock Deal Ahead of Kickoff
Kick off the season with Peacock — without emptying your wallet
The NFL regular season has arrived, with the first game — a Super Bowl LX rematch — airing tonight at 8:20 p.m. ET.
If that fact makes you go “Oh crap—,” you’re not alone. The regular season can sneak up on you, and if you don’t have your football streaming setup ready, you’re destined to miss some major matchups.
One of the best ways to catch all the NFL action is by subscribing to Peacock. As NBC’s dedicated streaming home, Peacock is essential for live football coverage. It carries every Sunday Night Football broadcast throughout the regular season, primetime playoff games, and exclusive regular-season matchups you won’t find on traditional TV channels.
Even though Peacock is a bit stingy with deals, there are still a few ways to save some bucks on a Peacock subscription. The best way for the average Joe to get the best deal on Peacock is through its annual plan. The upfront rate of $129.99 a year isn’t the easiest pill to swallow, but when you compare how that’s less than the cost of just two months of a YouTube TV subscription, it puts the savings in perspective.
The Peacock Premium annual plan gives you 12 months for the price of 10, basically handing you two free months of streaming. Plus, this plan covers the entire 18-week NFL regular season, the playoffs, and next year’s offseason prep for pennies on the dollar compared to traditional cable.
If you’re a student, teacher, or first responder, though, you can save even more on a Peacock sub this season without committing to an annual plan. Plus, there are a few ways to get Peacock totally free. Keep reading to find out how.
