What can I watch on Peacock Premium vs. Premium Plus?

  • Live sports: Catch Premier League soccer, WWE, and Sunday Night Football among others.

Differences in Ad Experience and Features

Peacock Premium:

  • Ads: You will see ads during your viewing experience.
  • No offline downloads.

Peacock Premium Plus:

  • No ads (limited exclusions): Enjoy an almost ad-free experience. A few shows, movies, and live events will have ads due to streaming rights.
  • Offline downloads: Download selected titles to watch offline on your mobile device.
