FAQs

Does Peacock have live TV and sports? ›

Peacock is a streaming service from NBCUniversal. With tons of hit movies and TV shows, Originals, current NBC & Bravo hits, and LIVE Sports including Sunday Night Football and Premier League, Peacock is here for whatever you're in the mood for, from bingewatching to channel surfing.

Though Peacock Premium has had 7-day free trials in the past, it has recently discontinued this offering, likely because of the upcoming Olympics coverage. While it seems likely that a Peacock free trial will return at some point, as of this moment, there is no way to try this service out before you subscribe.

The basic Peacock tier is a free streaming service, while Peacock Premium and Peacock Premium Plus cost $4.99 and $9.99, respectively, for a monthly subscription.

While Peacock has a wealth of sports, you may be wondering if you can use the service to watch ESPN or ESPN+. You can't do that, however. Peacock doesn't have rights to ESPN and ESPN+ is its own service.
