Peacock Slashes Prices: Up to 50% Off Annual Plans

Peacock just dropped Black Friday-level pricing on its Premium and Premium Plus tiers, knocking as much as $80 off a full year of streaming.

> At a Glance

> – Annual Peacock Premium now $80 (reg. $132) – a 16% cut

> – Eligible students, teachers, military pay $3-$4/mo for 12 months

> – Xfinity Gigabit customers can grab two free years of Premium

> Why it matters: The NBC-backed streamer is undercutting Netflix and Hulu while dangling exclusive Olympics, WWE, and originals like The Office and Poker Face.

Peacock, NBCUniversal’s fast-growing service with 30 million+ subscribers, is leaning into budget-conscious viewers ahead of the holiday binge season. The limited-time annual deal reduces the monthly cost to $6.67 (paid up-front) versus the usual $11, and Premium Plus-normally $17/mo-drops to $14 when paid yearly.

Who Qualifies for Extra Discounts

Peacock keeps a separate price sheet for verified groups:

  • Students 18-24: Premium at $3/mo for 12 months
  • Teachers, military, first responders: Premium at $4/mo for 12 months
  • Xfinity Rewards Diamond/Platinum: Premium included at no cost

Verification is done through SheerID; accounts allow three simultaneous streams and six kid-safe profiles.

Bundle Deals That Replace Cable

Xfinity Internet subscribers can fold Peacock into combo packs:

NOW StreamSaver $30 Above plus 125+ live channels, NOW TV on-demand

New or existing Gigabit-or-higher customers also lock in 24 months of Peacock Premium free through their rewards portal.

What You’ll Actually Watch

November’s drop adds Bel-Air Season 4, Vanderpump Rules Season 11, and the full Harry Potter film collection. Reality fans can mainline Love Island‘s sprawling episodes, while film buffs can revisit Jaws in its 50th-anniversary 4K restoration or stream Oppenheimer ahead of awards season.

Key Takeaways

  • $80 annual Premium equals two free months versus month-to-month billing
  • Student and military discounts cut the bill by up to 73%
  • Xfinity customers can eliminate the subscription entirely with rewards or bundles
  • Peacock remains the only U.S. streamer with live NBC Sports, Olympics, and WWE events

If your streaming stack is bloated, Peacock’s pre-paid offers trim the fat without sacrificing fresh originals or live sports.
