But paying for Peacock may be worth it if you need to stream the Notre Dame or NFL Sunday Night Football's games this weekend if you're a WWE or US-based Premier League superfan or you really want to watch all of The Office or any of its other paywalled shows or movies. So is Peacock worth paying for? All the finer details are below, but basically: Thanks to the free tier, it doesn't cost anything to try it out for yourself. Instead, they're curated feeds of shorter programming or full episodes, organized around themes. Other differences: Peacock has 'channels' of TV, but these aren't livestreams of its networks. It's also unusual among the crop of new services in that it has live sports and news most of the newest streaming services are focused squarely on video-on-demand entertainment along the lines of Netflix.

Competitors include other new services, like Disney Plus, Apple TV Plus, Paramount Plus (the revamp of CBS All Access) and HBO Max, as well as vets like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Hulu.īut Peacock is unusual among these rivals in that it has this free tier. Peacock was one of a flood of new streaming services from tech and media giants that launched over the last two years. You'll need to sign up for either a $5-a-month or a $10-a-month premium tier if you want to watch the past seasons of Yellowstone, Halloween Kills or any of Peacock's other paywalled programming, like the NFL's Sunday Night Football, Premier League matches, WWE, and The Office including new extended episodes with deleted scenes. The show's new fourth season has kicked off, but these new episodes aren't available on Peacock - at least, not for a while. Only paying Peacock members can access everything on the service, including the paywalled first three seasons of cowboy drama Yellowstone. Peacock TV is NBCUniversal's US streaming app, with tens of thousands of hours of free programming, plus more shows, movies, sports and originals if you pay.
