Peacock subscribers got another interest boost over the summer as prices for the NBCUniversal streaming service rose for the fourth time in four years. The price increase comes as Peacock offers a free trial to new users, joining rival streamers like Paramount+, Hulu and HBO Max, which have all ditched free trial offers.
But there’s now a way to get a discount and a free trial on Peacock, though you’ll have to look elsewhere to get the latter. Amazon currently offers a 7-day free trial to Peacock through its Prime Channels hub.
The deal gives you free access to Peacock Premium Plus for a week if you sign up through Amazon. Premium Plus is Peacock’s ad-free streaming tier and is currently $19.99 per month (up from $16.99 per month earlier this year).
You won’t find the free trial offer on the Peacock website. With a Prime Channels deal, you can take the service for a free test drive for a week, with unlimited access to the entire library of on-demand TV shows and movies, plus hundreds of hours of live sports.
The Peacock free trial offer is only available to Amazon Prime members (not a Prime member? Get a 30-day free trial here to take advantage of the Peacock deal and access exclusive member discounts just in time for Prime Big Deal Days).
Sign in with your Prime member information, then go to the Prime Video Channels homepage to take advantage of the Peacock free trial offer. Your Peacock subscription renews after your free trial ends at the regular monthly rate of $19.99. Or you can cancel at any time to avoid being charged.
What are the Best Peacock Release Deals of 2026?
In addition to the Premium Plus plan, Peacock’s latest price increase brings the price of the Peacock Premium tier (including ads) to $12.99, up from $10.99 previously. Meanwhile, the Peacock Select tier (which includes current and past seasons of select TV shows but excludes movies, live sports, and Peacock originals) increased from $7.99 per month to $8.99 per month.
There is a way to get a discount on a Peacock subscription, though. The publisher is currently offering a discount on an annual plan that gives you 12 months of access for the price of ten.
The total price is $129 and it is accessible for one year. This saves you 17% compared to a monthly Peacock payment. Limited-time offer is valid for all new and eligible returning subscribers and no promotional code is required.
Peacock has priced its annual subscription as low as $79.99 in the past, but with the streamer hosting the recent Olympics and the Super Bowl this year, it has managed to raise its prices to attract viewers to its sporting events, and it’s unlikely we’ll see further discounts from the current online live promotion.
How to Get Free Peacocks?
In addition to the Prime Channels free trial offer mentioned above, you can get Peacock for free with a Walmart+ membership. Walmart+ costs $98 annually, and as part of your membership, members can choose between Peacock Premium or Paramount+ Essential at no additional cost.
This is in addition to perks like free shipping, free grocery delivery, special discounts, gas savings, and more. Sign up for Walmart+ here (you can also test the service for 30 days for just $1 here ).
You can also stream Peacock online for free with Instacart+. The grocery delivery service offers an upgraded tier that gives members free grocery delivery, free restaurant delivery, and a free annual membership to Peacock. Instacart+ costs just $9.99 per month or $99 per year. Try it with a 14-day free trial here.
Peacock is also home to hundreds of new movies like “Obsession,” “F1” and “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,” as well as fan-favorite series like “Pluribus,” “New Girl,” “The Traitors,” “The Office” and the Bravo universe series.
Peacock is also one of the most preferred broadcasters for sports fans, able to stream live sports events such as NFL, Premier League, Big Ten Football and WWE.
