Plan Features

Below is a list of features offered in each Peacock Plan.

  • Stream on up to 3 devices simultaneously from one account

Peacock Premium Plus

Subscribers can have the service ad-free for a subscription price of $9.99 per month. Peacock is calling this ad-free plan Premium Plus. This plan provides everything you get with Peacock Premium, but includes the following additional features:

  • No Ads with most shows (Due to streaming rights, a very small amount of programming will still contain ads)
  • Download and watch select shows offline
  • Your local NBC Channel streamed live

Comcast Xfinity customers get Peacock Premium free with certain cable and internet services. Those customers can pay an additional $5 per month to have the service free of ads.
