Peacock TV free trial: Can you stream for free

Lucas Coll
By

In a world of so many streaming apps, be unique — that’s what we always say. No longer a newcomer, NBC’s online streaming app Peacock TV has a few unique offerings that set it apart from the crowd. It’s become quite popular as a reliable way to stream classic NBC shows like The Office and 30 Rock, plus new shows and movies, live news, and sports. Some unique things about Peacock: It offers like live TV channels, making it one of the best live TV streaming services, and it’s very cheap, with two paid plans. Of course, you’re here because you’re looking for a Peacock TV free trial. Let’s explore what that means for a unique service like Peacock.

Is there a Peacock TV free trial?

Just like there’s no Disney Plus free trial, as of now, there’s no Peacock TV free trial for the paid plans. The paid Peacock plans include the Premium and Plus tiers, which ring in at $6 per month or $12 per month, respectively. You can also pay for 10 months at once and Peacock will give you the last two months of the year for free. These packages give you complete access to the full library of Peacock shows, channels, and movies. The only differences between the two is that the $12 per month Peacock Plus plan is ad-free and allows you to download and watch select shows and movies offline.

Can you get Peacock TV for free?

Peacock used to have a completely free tier called Basic that had about 10,000 hours worth of content. It had ads of course, but who can complain about free? Unfortunately, Peacock stopped the free service in early 2023, so you now need to have a Plus or Premium plan in order to stream anything on the site. Once you sign up, you’ll get access to all of the best shows on Peacock, like Downton Abbey, Psych, and 30 Rock. You’ll also get access to live sports, so you can watch boxing, international soccer matches, and more with the cheapest subscription. If you want to see more, check out our lists of the best shows on Peacock as well as what’s new on Peacock this month to see what else is on tap.

Are there any Peacock TV deals?

Super Bowl 2022 on Peacock.

There’s no free or reduced Peacock TV deal going on right now, but compared to some of the other services, the regular prices are reasonable. You can sign up for Peacock Premium for just $6 per month. Peacock Premium is a great value even at its normal price, considering that you get a lot of on-demand shows and movies as well as live TV channels, so it’s a solid bargain. You can always go with Peacock Plus for $12 per month, as well, which allows you to download select titles and watch them offline and also removes a majority of the ads you’d see with the lower tier plan. Whatever the case, now’s a great time to sign up for Peacock TV to catch some of its exclusive content. Some of the best TV deals out there include Peacock subscriptions, so if you’re in the market for a new home theater screen, you might get the opportunity to test out the service.

Why you should buy the 40-inch TCL 3-Series Roku TV
While the TCL 3-Series Roku TV doesn’t come in at 4K resolution, it does come in at Full HD 1080p. This is still a lot of picture quality, especially for its low price point. In fact, this TV makes great accompaniment for the best movies on Netflix and the best new shows to stream on Netflix, Hulu, Max, and more. Full HD resolution has been the standard for more than a decade, and it still offers enhanced clarity and detail for everything from movies to sports to TV shows to news. It even has an advanced digital TV tuner with a live channel guide that allows you to get over-the-air HD channels, so you don’t even have to set up a cable subscription with this TV.

There are a lot of great TV deals that happen during and around Prime Day, and we're happy to say that this year is no different. In particular, we're seeing a lot of great sales when it comes to Sony TVs, which is great, especially if you have a PlayStation 5, since they're both made by the same company and have some interesting integrations. Even if you don't have a console, though, Sony's TVs are excellent, and you can nab a couple of great ones at very reasonable prices. As such, we've collected our favorite Prime Day deals on Sony TVs below, so be sure to check them out and come back regularly as we update this list.
Sony 50-inch X77L 4K TV -- $500, was $530

If you want a good but high-quality TV, then this X77l is a great option. It has a 4k resolution, HDR10, and HLG, the latter of which is an HDR standard used by most broadcasters, so it's great if you watch sports. Of course, what's really interesting about the TV is that it has been optimized for the PlayStation 5, which makes sense considering that it is also made by Sony and primarily means auto HDR tone mapping. Besides that, it comes with a 4k upscaler, something we don't regularly see on a price at this price range, so it's certainly got lots going for it.
