Your Premium Annual Plan Will Renew Soon and We've Updated Our Prices​

We hope you're enjoying Peacock! We wanted to let you know that we're changing the prices of Peacock annual plans as follows:

• Premium Annual from $79.99 to $109.99
• Premium Plus Annual from $139.99 to $169.99

All prices do not include applicable taxes. Prices for any add-ons, such as a Regional Sports Network, will remain the same.

Your annual Peacock plan will auto-renew on 11/25/25 for 1 year at $109.99 plus applicable taxes unless you cancel before that date. If you are currently on an offer, your promotional pricing will continue through the end of your promotional period.

To view your upcoming payment or manage your plan go to your Account. To cancel, select "Cancel Plan" within your account page or follow the steps described here.

I'll be canceling, and waiting to see if there's another Black Friday special. If not, that's it for us. IMO, Peacock isn't worth anywhere near $79.99, much less $109.99!

I've been getting it for I think around $30 for the year around Black Friday.

I would Cancel Before Black Friday ... maybe the week before or there abouts, they may make you an offer right when you Cancel, I've seen that happen elsewhere before.

Also, anyone with Walmart+ can get Peacock for free, just FYI.

I personally, only use it for the NFL or College Football games ...
If I can get the $30 or there abouts for the year, Great, its worth it.

MY Premium Plus annual plan expires next month and I am most likely going to cancel it before it comes due. If I click the cancel button right now it only offers me the Premium plan for $59.99 per year. Not good enough Peacock.

Wow $30 more per year. Peacock will probably not get renewed next year at that price. My wife watches it more than I do, but much of the stuff is on NBC which we also get via our OTA/Channels DVR setup. Peacock will likely be the first service we drop full time.

I need to go in and cancel mine. I think it expires around the first of December from last years Black Friday. I use it for football games and the main reason I got it again last year was for my mom to watch days of our lives. Otherwise it's never used. We just dvr anything that might be on nbc, which isn't much other than sports that's interests us.

Wow - I feel like they just raised their rates over the summer. Was the summer just monthly plans and now they are raising the yearly plans?

I don't know. We are on the $19.99/year plan special from last year Black Friday. I've managed to grab this 3 years in a row so far. Hopefully it happens again. We mainly have it because my wife wants Days of Our Lives. That's worth $19.99, but no more.

Appears it was just for monthly subscribers back in July/August.

Peacock announced its largest price hike to date, effective for new subscribers on July 23, 2025, and for existing subscribers on August 22, 2025.

Peacock Premium (with ads): Increased from $7.99 to $10.99 per month.
Peacock Premium Plus (ad-free): Increased from $13.99 to $16.99 per month.

It's the same increase, this was just prompted by the notification of renewal letting them know of the new rate they'd be charged now that their year is up.

They are also "crooks". I signed up for a year on 11/26/24, but they shut me off on 10/26

I got the same treatment from Disney on their Black Friday deal from last year.

Correct, but you can switch back and forth every 90 days

Now that wrestling is gone from Peacock. (except for Saturday Night's Main Event which I can watch on Netflix via VPN) thre is nothing on it I want to watch.

We did watch the Fresh Prince reboot a few years ago which was ok. But nothing else that I see I want to watch.

My wife has a few things she likes on Paramount Plus.

Just wanted to give you a heads up. For whatever reason the Netflix deal does not include SNME internationally. It streams on YouTube internationally.

Paramount + is still my #1 service, my girlfriend loves L&O SVU and Organized Crime, so must keep Peacock, if not for her, easily gone, not one show I watch on it.

On Peacock I watch Jeopardy, The Chicagos, The Voice, and America's Got Talent regularly. I also watch a lot of sports there as well. It's a must app for me.
