While Peacock discontinued its completely free tier, here’s what you can do to enjoy it without paying the full subscription price:
1. Peacock’s Free Tier
- What It Includes: Peacock offers a free level of service that gives you access to a selection of movies, TV shows, news, and sports. You will encounter ads while watching.
- Less Content: The full catalog – including many popular shows and movies – is only available with a paid subscription.
2. Potential Deals Through Xfinity or Cox
- Check Your Cable/Internet: If you have certain Xfinity or Cox cable or internet packages, you might already have access to Peacock Premium ($4.99/month value) at no extra cost.
- Contact Provider: Call your cable company or visit their website to see if you qualify.
3. Limited Time Offers
- Watch for Promotions: Occasionally, Peacock or Roku will run special promotions offering a free trial or deeply discounted pricing on Peacock Premium subscriptions.
- Where to Look: Check deal websites, your Roku device, and the Peacock website itself.
How to Access Peacock on Roku

Free Tier Limitations: The free tier comes with ads and doesn’t offer the same amount of content as the paid subscriptions.
Promotions Change: Free trials and special offers can be time-limited, so it’s best to act on them quickly!
