Peacock costs $10.99 per month with ads or $16.99 per month for a mostly ad-free plan; annual plans cost $109.99 or $169.99.
The cost of Peacock comes down to two choices: pay less and sit through ads, or pay more for Premium Plus, which removes many ad breaks and adds downloads for certain titles. The prices here are U.S. prices before tax, so your final checkout number can be a bit higher.
The better choice depends on your watch list. A one-show binge may only call for one paid month. A household that watches NBC, Bravo, English soccer, WWE, NFL, news, movies, and Peacock originals may get more out of a full year.
How Much Is Peacock Service? Prices By Plan
Peacock has two full catalog plans: Premium and Premium Plus. Premium is the lower monthly bill, but it includes ads. Premium Plus costs more, removes many ads, adds some downloads, and includes a live local NBC channel in many markets.
Peacock also lists a lower-cost Select tier for some accounts. Select costs less, but it does not include the full library. It is better treated as a TV-only option, not a full replacement for Premium.
Monthly Vs Annual Billing
Premium costs $10.99 per month or $109.99 per year. Paying monthly for 12 months would cost $131.88 before tax, so the annual plan saves $21.89 if you keep it for the whole year.
Premium Plus costs $16.99 per month or $169.99 per year. Paying monthly for 12 months would cost $203.88 before tax, so the annual plan saves $33.89 across a full year.
- Pick monthly if you only want one event, one season, or one short binge.
- Pick annual if Peacock stays in your TV rotation all year.
- Pick Premium Plus if ads make you stop watching or you want downloads for trips.
What The Monthly Price Gets You
The official Peacock subscription cost page lists Premium at $10.99 per month and Premium Plus at $16.99 per month, before tax. The same page lists annual billing at $109.99 for Premium and $169.99 for Premium Plus.
Those prices do not mean every ad disappears on Premium Plus. Peacock says some pages, channels, live sports, live events, and a few shows or movies may still contain ads. So, treat Premium Plus as mostly ad-free, not a zero-ad promise.
The current Peacock plan selection page also frames annual billing as 12 months for the price of 10. That math is handy if you already know you’ll watch across several seasons.
Read The Plan Name Before You Pay
Peacock plan names can feel close, but the gap between them is real. Select is cheaper because it leaves out whole groups of content. Premium is the full ad plan. Premium Plus is the higher full plan with fewer ad breaks and extras.
That difference matters when you arrive for one title. A movie night, a live match, or a Peacock original may require Premium or Premium Plus, not Select. Before you enter a card number, search the title inside Peacock, then check which plan unlocks it.
For a family, the choice can come down to patience. If ad breaks lead people to quit halfway through a show, the Plus price may earn its keep. If everyone is fine with ads, the regular full plan is often enough.
| Plan Or Cost Point | Price Before Tax | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Select Monthly | $7.99/month | Lower-cost access to selected NBC, Bravo, other TV library, and selected channels. |
| Select Annual | $79.99/year | Same smaller catalog at a lower yearly rate, if the tier appears in your account. |
| Premium Monthly | $10.99/month | Full Peacock library with ads, including shows, movies, originals, and live sports. |
| Premium Annual | $109.99/year | Full ad plan for a year; saves $21.89 compared with 12 monthly payments. |
| Premium Plus Monthly | $16.99/month | Mostly ad-free viewing, downloads for some titles, and local NBC where offered. |
| Premium Plus Annual | $169.99/year | Mostly ad-free yearly plan; saves $33.89 compared with 12 monthly payments. |
| Taxes | Varies | Final checkout total can change by state, city, and billing method. |
| Ads On Premium Plus | Included In Plan Price | Some live content, channels, pages, and select titles may still run ads. |
Picking A Peacock Plan Without Overpaying
The cleanest way to choose is to count what you’ll watch during the next 30 days. If your list is one Bravo season or one Peacock original, Premium monthly is the safer buy. Pay, watch, cancel before renewal, and you’re done.
If sports drive the purchase, check the event schedule before paying for a full year. Peacock can be a strong deal during months packed with English soccer, NFL, WWE, NBA, Olympics-related programming, or Big Ten events. During empty months, the value drops.
Premium Plus is worth the jump when your household watches several nights per week. The extra $6 per month buys fewer interruptions, downloads on some titles, and local NBC access in many places. For light viewing, that extra cost can feel wasted.
Where Select Fits
The Peacock Select tier page says Select costs $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year, with pricing subject to change. It includes NBC current and library shows, Bravo current and library shows, other TV library titles, and selected channels.
Select leaves out movie library titles, sports and live events, Peacock originals, and the local NBC channel. That makes it a poor match for sports fans, movie fans, and anyone joining for Peacock-only series.
| Viewer Type | Better Pick | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| One-show binge watcher | Premium Monthly | Lowest full-catalog cost with no long billing tie. |
| Weekly NBC or Bravo viewer | Premium Annual | Yearly billing saves money if you watch month after month. |
| Sports fan | Premium Or Premium Plus | Select leaves out sports and live events. |
| Ad-sensitive household | Premium Plus | Costs more, but cuts many ad breaks. |
| Budget TV viewer | Select | Works only if NBC, Bravo, and older TV titles are enough. |
Ways To Spend Less On Peacock
The easiest saving move is timing. Subscribe when the show, sport, or event you want is active, then cancel before the next renewal if your list is empty. This works well for short series, one tournament, or a single movie night.
Annual billing is the second move, but only when Peacock is already a habit. Saving $21.89 on Premium sounds good, but not if you stop watching after two months. The same goes for Premium Plus: the larger yearly saving only helps if the plan stays useful all year.
Watch The Checkout Page
Streaming prices can shift, and offers can vary by account, bundle, device, or payment partner. Before you pay, read the final checkout screen, the renewal date, and the plan name. A cheap plan may leave out the one thing you came for.
Small Details That Change The Bill
A few billing details can change the real cost after you pick a plan. Treat the checkout page as the final word, not a search result or an old coupon page.
- Taxes can raise the final charge above the listed price.
- Annual plans charge the full year at once, not month by month.
- Some offers renew at the regular rate after the promo window ends.
- App store billing can put cancellation controls in Apple, Google, Roku, or another payment account.
Students, military members, teachers, and bundled subscribers sometimes see offers, but those deals change. Do not buy based on an old coupon post. Use the price shown in your own Peacock account before entering payment details.
Price Answer Before You Subscribe
Peacock Premium is the safer starting point for most new subscribers because it gives the full catalog at $10.99 per month. Premium Plus is better for households that hate ad breaks, want downloads, or want local NBC access where available.
Select is cheaper at $7.99 per month, but the missing sports, movies, originals, and local NBC channel make it narrow. For many people, the real choice is Premium monthly for short use or Premium annual for year-round viewing.
