Peacock Live TV

Peacock is primarily an on-demand streaming service with thousands of TV shows and movies available at your fingertips, and it also streams live TV. Well, sort of: Unlike YouTube TV or Sling TV, Peacock doesn’t carry live-right-now cable channels, but 24/7 loops of content from its library divvied up into dozens of “channels.” Ever used Pluto TV or Sling Free? It’s like that.

Peacock does carry a handful of actual live news and sports channels in its lineup, like NBC News Now, NFL Channel, NBC Sports, Premier League TV, and WWE. You can also watch local NBC affiliate channels in most areas on Peacock.

Most of Peacock’s 50+ channels are self-explanatory, like Law & Order (episodes from the L&O universe) and SNL Vault (Saturday Night Live sketches and videos). Others, like Out of This World (hours of Ancient Aliens) are a little less so.

Like Paramount+, which live streams local CBS channels in most areas, Peacock carries local NBC affiliates live. It also has channels dedicated to rebroadcasting newscasts from NBC channels in Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and South Florida.

Live sports events on Peacock’s channels include NBC Sunday Night Football, Premier League soccer matches, and WWE Network shows and pay-per-view events. Peacock also live streams Winter and Summer Olympics events not broadcast by NBC.
