Peacock plans FAQ
Does Peacock have a free plan?
No. Peacock doesn't currently offer a free subscription plan for new signups. Its current plans are Select, Premium, and Premium Plus. Peacock does say that some customers who cancel a Premium or Premium Plus subscription may still be able to watch a limited amount of content for free after their paid access ends, but that isn't the same as a current free subscription tier.
Can I watch Peacock without ads?
Peacock Premium Plus removes commercial interruptions from most programming, but it isn't completely ad-free. Live sports and other live events, linear channels such as your local NBC station, certain add-ons, and a small number of shows and movies can still include ads, promos, or sponsor messages. Select and Premium include ads.
Does Peacock include live sports?
Peacock Premium and Premium Plus include live sports and events. Peacock Select does not include sports. Peacock's current sports lineup includes programming such as NFL, NBA, Premier League, Big Ten, WWE, golf, cycling, and other events, with availability varying by sport and event.
Does Peacock require a contract?
Peacock doesn't require a traditional multiyear service contract, but its Select, Premium, and Premium Plus plans are available with either monthly or annual billing. You can cancel before your next renewal, and your subscription remains active through the end of the current subscription term. Peacock generally doesn't issue refunds or credits for payments already made when you cancel.
