Peacock TV, with its enticing library of shows, movies, and live sports, has become a popular streaming option. But for Xfinity subscribers, the question of whether it’s “free” is a bit more nuanced than a simple yes or no.
The Short Answer
You can get it for free, but it depends on your specific Xfinity plan and membership status. Here’s the breakdown:
-
The End of the Blanket Deal: Xfinity TV and internet customers used to enjoy free access to Peacock Premium, but that perk ended on June 26, 2023.
-
Xfinity Rewards to the Rescue: If you’re a Diamond or Platinum Xfinity Rewards member with Xfinity! Internet, you can redeem your reward for free access to Peacock Premium. Don’t despair!
-
Gig-Speed Internet Users: If you have Gigabit or higher Xfinity Internet speed tiers, you still get Peacock Premium for free. So, speed demons, you’re in luck!
-
Limited-Time Offers: Keep an eye out for limited-time promotional offers from Xfinity that might include free or discounted Peacock Premium. These offers can pop up periodically, so check the Xfinity website or your email for updates.
What If I Don’t Qualify for Free Peacock?
If you don’t fall into the above categories, you can still enjoy Peacock through Xfinity, but it will cost you. You can either:
-
Subscribe to Peacock directly: Sign up for a Peacock Premium plan through the Peacock website or app.
-
Subscribe through Xfinity: Add Peacock Premium to your Xfinity bill, and you might get special discounted rates available for Xfinity customers.
To Sum It Up
While Peacock TV isn’t automatically free for all Xfinity customers anymore, there are still ways to access it without paying extra. Check your Xfinity Rewards status, internet speed tier, and keep an eye out for those limited-time offers.
