How to watch NFL on Peacock

Sunday Night Football on NBC has become a TV staple, but can you watch it and other games from the NFL on Peacock? The short answer is yes.

During the NFL regular season Peacock offers live streams of NFL games every week, specifically the weekly primetime Sunday Night Football matchup. This is just one of the available live sports on Peacock, which also includes baseball, golf, college football, WWE and, in 2024, the Olympics.

However, Peacock is expanding its NFL coverage this year, with the streamer hosting exclusive games. This included the week 16 matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers, but it is also going to include an NFL playoff game, specifically the Wild Card matchup between the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs on January 13; though that is causing some confusion and annoyance among fans.

Here is everything that you need to know about how to watch NFL on Peacock this year.

How to watch NFL on Peacock

Plain and simple, if you want to watch the NFL on Peacock, all you need to do is sign up for the streaming service through either of its subscription plans. Both Peacock Premium and Peacock Premium Plus offer live streams of all live sporting events, including the NFL.

Peacock Premium is available for $5.99 per month ($59.99 per year), while Peacock Premium Plus goes for $11.99 per month ($119.99 per year).

The big difference between the two plans is actually what you get outside of the NFL and sports. Peacock Premium Plus is ad-free and gives you access to live stream your local NBC station, meaning you can watch any NBC TV show or other programming live as it originally airs. With Peacock Premium you have to wait until it becomes available the next day to stream. Again, this does not apply to sports, as both plans allow you to stream those live.

Can you watch the NFL on Peacock for free?

Unfortunately, Peacock no longer offers a free trial, so you cannot watch the NFL, or anything for that matter, on Peacock for free.
