About Peacock

Peacock is a streaming service operated by Peacock TV LLC, a division of NBCUniversal. It carries TV shows, films, live sports and news, and is mainly intended for viewers in the United States, where the device must be physically located to stream.

When this entry was prepared, the website displayed an unavailable-in-region notice stating that the service is not yet offered in other territories, so detailed plan information is not included here. Peacock is a proprietary, hosted consumer service, and an Apple TV page lists a bundle that includes both Peacock and Apple TV starting at $17.99 per month.
