About Peacock TV

Peacock is NBCUniversal's streaming service offering thousands of hours of content including live sports, hit TV shows, movies, and Peacock Original programming. Peacock TV support is here to ensure subscribers enjoy a seamless, uninterrupted streaming experience across all compatible devices including smart TVs, mobile phones, tablets, and web browsers.

🔐 Account & Login
How do I create a Peacock TV account?
To create a Peacock TV account, visit the official Peacock website at peacocktv.com and click "Sign Up." You will need to provide a valid email address, create a password, enter your date of birth, and select a subscription plan — including the free tier if available in your region. After completing registration, you can sign in on any supported device using your email and password. Peacock TV account creation is free, and you can upgrade to a premium plan at any time from your account settings.
I forgot my Peacock TV password — how do I reset it?
If you have forgotten your Peacock TV account password, go to the sign-in page and click "Forgot Password." Enter the email address associated with your Peacock TV account, and you will receive a password reset email within a few minutes. Click the secure link in that email to create a new password. If you do not see the reset email, check your spam or junk folder. For security, the reset link typically expires after 24 hours, so use it promptly. Peacock TV customer support recommends choosing a strong, unique password for your account.
How many devices can stream Peacock TV simultaneously?
Peacock TV allows up to three simultaneous streams per account on the Peacock Premium and Peacock Premium Plus plans. This means three different household members can watch content at the same time. With the free Peacock plan, simultaneous streaming limits may vary. If you receive an error indicating too many streams are active, you may need to sign out of a device you are not using. For household sharing and profile management, visit your Peacock TV account settings online.
How do I sign out of Peacock TV on all devices?
To sign out of your Peacock TV account on all devices simultaneously, log in to your account on a web browser, go to "Account" settings, and look for "Manage Devices" or the option to "Sign Out of All Devices." This is particularly helpful if you have signed in on a shared or public device and need to secure your account. After signing out remotely, each device will require your email and password to log back in. If you suspect unauthorized access, change your Peacock TV password immediately after signing out.
💳 Subscription & Billing
What are the Peacock TV subscription plans and pricing?
Peacock TV offers several subscription tiers. The free plan provides limited content with ads. Peacock Premium offers a broader content library with limited ad interruptions. Peacock Premium Plus is the highest tier, offering an expanded content library with significantly fewer or no ads and the ability to download certain content for offline viewing. Pricing is subject to change, and promotional offers may be available periodically. For the most current Peacock TV subscription pricing, visit the official Peacock website or your app store listing.
How do I update my Peacock TV payment method?
To update your Peacock TV payment method, sign in to your account and navigate to the "Account" or "Billing" section. Select "Payment Method" and enter your new credit card, debit card, or payment details. If your subscription was purchased through a third party such as Apple, Google Play, or your cable provider, you will need to update your payment information directly through that provider, as Peacock TV does not manage billing for third-party purchases. Always ensure your payment information is current to avoid service interruptions.
Why was I charged twice for Peacock TV?
Duplicate charges for Peacock TV are uncommon but can occur if you subscribed through more than one platform (for example, directly through Peacock and through Apple or Google). Check your bank statements and compare with your email subscription confirmations. If you identify a genuine duplicate charge, contact Peacock TV customer support through the official support channels with your billing details. You may also have two separate accounts; check for multiple emails you may have used to register. Peacock TV is committed to resolving billing discrepancies promptly.
📺 Streaming & Playback
Why is Peacock TV buffering or lagging?
Buffering during Peacock TV streaming is usually caused by a slow or unstable internet connection. Peacock TV recommends a minimum internet speed of 3 Mbps for standard definition, 8 Mbps for HD streaming, and 25 Mbps or higher for 4K content where available. To fix buffering: restart your router and modem, close other apps or devices using your internet bandwidth, connect via a wired Ethernet connection if possible, clear the Peacock TV app cache on your device, and check for app or firmware updates. If buffering continues, the issue may be temporary server congestion on Peacock's end.
Peacock TV app is not working — how do I fix it?
If the Peacock TV app is not working, try these troubleshooting steps: force-close the app and reopen it; restart the device you are using; uninstall and reinstall the Peacock TV app; ensure your device's operating system is up to date; check your internet connection; and verify that Peacock TV servers are not experiencing a service outage by checking official Peacock social media channels. These steps resolve the majority of Peacock TV app issues. If none of these steps work, contact Peacock TV support directly.
What devices are compatible with Peacock TV?
Peacock TV is compatible with a wide range of devices including: smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Vizio, and Sony; streaming devices such as Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Chromecast; gaming consoles including PlayStation and Xbox; iOS and Android smartphones and tablets; and web browsers on Mac and PC computers. Peacock TV support recommends keeping all device software up to date for the best streaming performance. Some older device models may not support the latest version of the Peacock TV app.
Can I download Peacock TV content to watch offline?
Offline downloads on Peacock TV are available for select content on the Peacock Premium Plus plan. To download, open the Peacock TV app on a supported mobile device, find a title with the download icon, and tap it to save to your device. Downloaded content has an expiration window and will only be available for a limited period. Not all titles are available for download due to licensing restrictions. Downloads are for personal, non-commercial use only and cannot be transferred or shared with other devices or users.
🎬 Content & Channels
Does Peacock TV offer live TV and sports?
Yes, Peacock TV offers live sports and live news channels as part of its programming lineup. Peacock is the exclusive streaming home of Premier League soccer in the United States and offers coverage of select NFL games, WWE events, the Olympics (when applicable broadcast rights are held by NBCUniversal), golf, and other live sporting events. Live news coverage from NBC News is also available. Peacock TV's live sports content is primarily available on paid subscription tiers. Check the Peacock TV schedule regularly for upcoming live event listings.
Why is a show or movie not available on Peacock TV?
Content availability on Peacock TV is governed by licensing agreements with studios and content partners. Some titles may be available for a limited time before being removed due to expiring licenses. Other content may be exclusive to a higher subscription tier — for example, certain titles may require a Peacock Premium or Peacock Premium Plus subscription. Regional content restrictions may also apply if you are accessing Peacock TV from outside the United States. Peacock TV regularly adds new content, so a title unavailable today may become available in the future.

Peacock TV, as a service of NBCUniversal, may share your personal information with affiliated NBCUniversal companies and with trusted third-party service providers who assist in delivering the service, such as payment processors, cloud infrastructure providers, analytics partners, and customer service platforms. These third parties are contractually obligated to protect your data and may only use it for the specific purposes for which it was shared.

Peacock TV does not sell your personal information to unrelated third parties for their independent marketing purposes. Your data may be disclosed if required by law, court order, or government regulation, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of Peacock TV, its users, or the public.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Peacock TV uses cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies to operate its website and app, remember your preferences, analyze site traffic, and serve relevant advertising. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may affect your ability to use some features of the Peacock TV platform. Opt-out tools for interest-based advertising may also be available through industry platforms such as the Digital Advertising Alliance.

5. Data Retention

Peacock TV retains your personal information for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter in order to fulfill legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Viewing history and account data may be retained for analytical and personalization purposes even after you cancel your subscription, unless you specifically request deletion of your account data.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your state or country of residence, you may have rights under applicable data protection laws including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information. California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to request deletion. To exercise these rights, contact Peacock TV through the official privacy request process described on their website.

7. Children's Privacy

Peacock TV's streaming service is not directed to children under the age of 13, and Peacock TV does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. If a parent or guardian believes their child has registered for a Peacock TV account, they should contact Peacock TV support immediately to have the account reviewed and the data removed as appropriate.

8. Security of Your Information

Peacock TV employs industry-standard security measures including encryption, secure server infrastructure, and access controls to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no digital transmission or storage system is completely secure, and users are encouraged to use strong, unique passwords and to sign out of shared devices after use.

9. Contact for Privacy Concerns

For privacy-related questions, data access requests, or to report a privacy concern related to your Peacock TV account, please use the official Peacock TV privacy inquiry form available on the peacocktv.com website under the Privacy section.

How to Cancel Your Peacock TV Subscription

Canceling your Peacock TV subscription is straightforward. Sign in to your Peacock TV account on a web browser, navigate to "Account," and select "Manage Plan" or "Cancel Plan." Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your cancellation. You will receive a confirmation email once your cancellation is processed. Your Peacock TV access will continue until the end of your current paid billing period — you will not lose access immediately upon cancellation.

If your Peacock TV subscription was purchased through a third-party provider such as Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Roku, or your cable/satellite provider, you must cancel directly through that provider. Peacock TV cannot process cancellations or refunds for subscriptions managed by third parties.

Refund Policy

Peacock TV's general refund policy is that subscription fees are non-refundable once a billing cycle has begun. However, Peacock TV may issue refunds at its discretion in cases of technical errors, accidental double charges, or for first-time subscribers who contact support within a short window after their initial charge. Refund requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Refund eligibility varies by situation and is not guaranteed. Always contact Peacock TV customer support directly through official channels to discuss your specific circumstances before expecting a refund.

Subscription Plan Changes

You may upgrade or downgrade your Peacock TV subscription plan at any time through your account settings. Upgrading your plan takes effect immediately, with any price difference prorated based on your billing cycle. Downgrading your Peacock TV plan typically takes effect at the start of your next billing period, meaning you continue to enjoy your current plan's benefits until then.

Free Trial Cancellations

If Peacock TV offers a free trial promotion, you can cancel at any time before the trial ends without being charged. If you do not cancel before the trial period expires, your subscription will automatically convert to the paid plan you selected when signing up. Peacock TV recommends setting a reminder before your trial expires if you do not wish to continue with a paid subscription.

Account Deletion vs. Subscription Cancellation

Canceling your Peacock TV subscription and deleting your account are two different actions. Canceling your subscription stops future billing while your account data is retained. Deleting your Peacock TV account permanently removes your profile, watch history, and saved preferences. If you want to delete your account entirely, contact Peacock TV support after canceling your subscription. Deleted accounts cannot be recovered.
