Yes, Peacock has live TV, but it’s different from a traditional cable package.
What Live TV You Get on Peacock
With a Peacock Premium subscription, you get access to live sports, news, and special events. You can watch live sports from NBC Sports, which includes events like Sunday Night Football, Premier League soccer, major golf tournaments, and WWE premium live events.
You also get live news from NBC News NOW and other Sky News channels. The Peacock Premium Plus plan adds a 24/7 live feed of your local NBC channel. Additionally, Peacock provides numerous “live” channels, which are continuous streams dedicated to specific shows like Saturday Night Live or themed content like crime dramas.
What Peacock’s Live TV Doesn’t Have
Peacock is not a complete cable TV replacement. You will not find major cable channels like ESPN, TNT, Fox News, or HGTV. Access to your local NBC station is only available with the more expensive Peacock Premium Plus tier. You won’t find other local broadcast channels like CBS, ABC, or Fox.
