Peacock TV Free Trial: Stream as much as you want for free

Lucas Coll
By

NBC’s online streaming app Peacock TV, may be a relative newcomer in an increasingly crowded field of streaming apps, but it’s certainly no slouch. It’s become quite popular as a reliable way to stream classic NBC shows like The Office and 30 Rock, plus new shows and movies, live news and sports. Peacock is a bit unique in that it’s both an on-demand streaming service like Hulu or Netflix while also offering a selection of live TV channels, despite costing much less than any of the best live TV streaming services. Even if it costs less, you’ll still need a premium subscription, which probably leaves you wondering, is there a Peacock TV free trial? Let’s find out.

Is there a Peacock TV free trial?

Just like there’s no Disney Plus free trial, as of now, there’s no Peacock TV free trial for the paid plans. The paid Peacock plans include the Premium and Plus tiers, which ring in at $5 per month or $10 per month, respectively. These packages give you complete access to the full library of Peacock shows, channels, and movies. The only differences between the two is that the $10/month Peacock Plus plan is ad-free and allows you to download and watch select shows and movies offline. You can still try Peacock without paying, though — keep reading to find out how.

Can you get Peacock TV for free?

A Peacock TV free trial period would actually be kind of redundant, because you don’t actually have to pay anything to sign up and try it out. Only Peacock Premium and Peacock Plus are paid. The basic Peacock service is totally free, and there’s no trial period. You don’t even have to enter any credit card information to sign up as you often do to get free trials like the Hulu free trial. Just use your email address to create your account and you’re ready to stream. The free Peacock plan unsurprisingly gives you a more limited selection of shows and movies to stream, but there’s still more than 10,000 hours’ worth of content for you to browse.

A selection of that free content includes Downton Abbey, Psych, and 30 Rock, so you’ve got plenty to bite into with Peacock before deciding if you want to upgrade to one of the paid tiers.

Are there any Peacock TV deals?

There’s no free or reduced Peacock TV deal going on right now, but compared to some of the other services the regular prices are reasonable. You can sign up for Peacock Premium for just $5 per month. Peacock Premium is a great value even at its normal price considering that you get a lot of on-demand shows and movies as well as live TV channels, so it’s a solid bargain. You can always go with Peacock Plus for $10 per month, as well, which allows you to download select titles and watch them offline, and also removes a majority of the ads you’d see with the lower tier plan. Whatever the case, now’s a great time to sign up for Peacock TV to catch some of its exclusive content.

Save $500 when you pre-order the new LG C3 OLED TV and soundbar
LG's 2023 C3 4K OLED TV.

The new LG C3 OLED TV is coming soon and it's fairly obvious that it's going to be one of the best TVs around when it launches. After all, previous models from LG have been consistently exceptional. Pre-orders have begun on the latest and soon to be greatest range of TVs and that makes now the perfect time to get a great deal. The deal in question that looks so appealing is being able to save $500 when you pre-order the LG C3 and the SC9S soundbar together. Depending on the TV you choose, you could pay only $2,400 for the latest LG C3 55-inch OLED TV along with the SC9s. Effectively, whatever you go for, you're getting the high-end soundbar for 50% off as it normally costs $1,000. You even get free wall-mounting included with the deal. With the LG C3 expected to be very special, let's take a quick look at what it will be like.

Why you should buy the LG C3 and SC9S soundbar
We're incredibly confident that the LG C3 will be a force to be reckoned with. LG is one of the best TV brands around thanks to its great use of OLED technology. If you're not already experienced in the way of OLED pixels, they're so much better than the average 4K TV screen. That's because every pixel you see on the screen is able to light up independently of each other so you get a much better visual experience. On the same screen, you can see the deepest of blacks alongside bright, vibrant moments depending on what you're watching. Over the years, LG has developed some of the best OLED TVs around with the C1 and C2 range both highly recommended. It makes sense that the C3 will be even better than before.
