  1. Peacock is raising prices across its streaming plans once again, with the company’s cheapest ad-supported Select tier going from $7.99 to $8.99 / month, as reported earlier by Variety.

    One of the best ways to save on Peacock streaming is through annual plan discounts (versus monthly). That comes out to be $80 annually, meaning you’ll get 12 months for the price of 10, and save 16% on a Premium yearly plan, for only $9 per month—otherwise it’s $11 when paid monthly. There’s also Premium Plus, which has no ads, the ability to download and watch certain titles while offline, and includes your local NBC channel live, 24/7. This subscription tier is $17 per month, or $14 when paid annually. In short, you’ll be paying only $80 annually for either Basic or Premium plans!

  2. Save up to $80 With Today’s Peacock Promo Codes and Subscription Deals As someone with approximately 792 subscriptions, it can be hard to know just how much I’m paying for each (not to mention how much total I’m spending a month) and which exactly has the content I want to watch most. Peacock also knows that most people use several streaming services and that it’s important to choose the ones that fit best with your budget and needs. Coming in clutch when you're still in “stay-inside-and-keep-warm” mode, Peacock is offering one full year of Peacock streaming for only $80.

    The price change goes into effect on August 18th for new or returning subscribers, and affects the streamer’s annual plans as well. Existing subscribers will see the price change on their next billing date on or after September 17th. Peacock has steadily hiked its prices over the past few years, with the streaming service last issuing a $3 increase in July 2025.

  3. On its support page, Peacock says the price change allows the service “to create the best experience for its viewers, remain competitive in the marketplace, and deliver unique content across all genres.” The service has added new features to draw in subscribers, including vertical video for NBA streams, a “Bravoverse” feed with clips from shows like Love Island, and mobile games. It’s also testing perks for long-term subscribers and will soon be included within a YouTube Premium subscription.
