How to Get Apple TV Through the Peacock Bundle

What the Peacock Bundle Includes and How It Works

Peacock offers a bundle that pairs its streaming service with Apple TV+, so you get both subscriptions for one monthly price. The bundle is called Peacock Premium Plus Apple TV+, and it costs less than paying for each service separately. You sign up through Peacock's website or app, not through Apple, and Peacock handles the billing.

When you buy the bundle, you receive a Peacock Premium account (which removes ads from most Peacock content) and a separate Apple TV+ subscription. The two services stay linked to your Peacock login, but you access Apple TV+ through the Apple TV app on your device — not through Peacock itself. This means you need an Apple ID to watch Apple TV+ content, even though you paid for it through Peacock.

The bundle is available in the United States only. Pricing and availability may change, so check Peacock's current offers before signing up.

Key Takeaways

The Peacock Premium Plus Apple TV+ bundle combines both services under one Peacock account and costs less than subscribing to each separately.
You sign up and pay through Peacock, but you watch Apple TV+ content in the Apple TV app using your Apple ID.
You need both a Peacock account and an Apple ID to use the bundle — they are separate logins for separate apps.
The bundle works on any device that has both the Peacock app and the Apple TV app, including phones, tablets, smart TVs, and computers.

How to Sign Up for the Peacock and Apple TV+ Bundle

Go to Peacock.com and look for the bundle offer on the homepage or pricing page. Click on the Peacock Premium Plus Apple TV+ option and select it. You will be asked to create a Peacock account or sign in if you already have one. Enter your email address, create a password, and provide your payment method (credit card, debit card, or PayPal).

After you complete the signup, Peacock will send you a confirmation email. Your subscription starts when ready, and you are charged the bundle price on your billing date each month. Keep this confirmation email — it contains your Peacock account details and a link to set up or link your Apple ID if you do not already have one.

If you already have a Peacock account without Apple TV+, you can upgrade to the bundle through your account settings. Log in to Peacock, go to Account Settings, find the subscription section, and look for the option to add Apple TV+ or upgrade your plan. The price difference will be prorated based on your current billing cycle.

Setting Up Your Apple ID to Watch Apple TV+ Content

You need an Apple ID to access Apple TV+ through the Apple TV app, even though you are paying for it through Peacock. If you do not have an Apple ID, create one at appleid.apple.com. You will need an email address and a password. Apple will send you a verification email — click the link to confirm your account.

Once you have an Apple ID, read the Apple TV app on the device where you want to watch. On iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers, the Apple TV app comes pre-installed. On Android phones and tablets, read it from the Google Play Store. On smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Roku, Fire TV), search for the Apple TV app in your TV's app store.

Open the Apple TV app and sign in with your Apple ID. The app will recognize that you have an active Apple TV+ subscription through your Peacock bundle and show you all Apple TV+ content. You do not need to enter any Peacock information in the Apple TV app — the two services communicate in the background.

Devices Where You Can Watch Apple TV+ From Your Bundle

The Apple TV app is available on most modern devices. On Apple devices, it comes built in: iPhone, iPad, Apple TV (all models), and Mac. On Android devices, read the Apple TV app from Google Play on phones and tablets. On smart TVs, the app is available on Samsung, LG, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Google TV, and some Vizio models — search your TV's app store for "Apple TV".

You can also watch on web browsers by going to tv.apple.com and signing in with your Apple ID. This works on any computer with Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge. On gaming consoles, the Apple TV app is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox One.

If your device does not have the Apple TV app, you cannot watch Apple TV+ content on it, even though you own a subscription through the Peacock bundle. Check Apple's website for the full list of compatible devices before signing up if you plan to watch on a specific device.

Managing Your Bundle Subscription and Billing

Your Peacock account is where you manage the bundle subscription. Log in to Peacock.com, go to Account Settings, and select Subscription. You will see your current plan (Peacock Premium Plus Apple TV+), your billing date, and your payment method. This is also where you cancel the bundle if you decide to stop.

Your monthly charge appears on your credit card or PayPal statement as a Peacock charge, not as separate Peacock and Apple TV+ charges. If you want to change your payment method, update it in your Peacock account settings — this does not affect your Apple ID or Apple TV app.

If you cancel the Peacock bundle, your Apple TV+ access stops when ready. You will no longer see Apple TV+ content in the Apple TV app. Your Peacock account remains active if you had a Peacock subscription before adding Apple TV+, but you will be downgraded to whatever Peacock plan you had before the bundle.

Troubleshooting Common Issues With the Bundle

If you signed up for the bundle but do not see Apple TV+ content in the Apple TV app, make sure you are signed in with the Apple ID you used when you created your Peacock account. If you used a different Apple ID, the app will not recognize your subscription. Sign out of the Apple TV app, then sign back in with the correct Apple ID.

If the Apple TV app says you do not have an active subscription, wait 24 hours after signing up for the bundle — it can take a full day for Peacock and Apple's systems to sync. If it still does not work after 24 hours, log out of the Apple TV app completely, restart your device, and log back in.

If you are having trouble downloading the Apple TV app on your device, make sure your device is compatible. Check Apple's device support page or your device manufacturer's app store to confirm the Apple TV app is available for your model. Some older devices and some regional versions of devices do not support the app.

Comparing the Bundle to Paying Separately

The Peacock Premium Plus Apple TV+ bundle costs less per month than buying Peacock Premium and Apple TV+ as separate subscriptions. Exact pricing varies and changes over time, so compare the current bundle price to the current individual prices on Peacock.com and Apple.com before deciding.

The bundle makes sense if you want both services and plan to use them regularly. If you only want one service, buying them separately gives you that option. If you already have a Peacock subscription and want to add Apple TV+, upgrading to the bundle is usually cheaper than keeping Peacock and buying Apple TV+ separately.

Peacock also offers other subscription tiers (free with ads, Premium with ads, Premium without ads) that do not include Apple TV+. Make sure you are looking at the bundle option and not a Peacock-only plan if you want both services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an Apple device to use the bundle?

No. You can watch Apple TV+ from the bundle on Android phones, smart TVs, gaming consoles, and web browsers. You do need an Apple ID, but you do not need to own an Apple device. An Apple ID is a free account you create at appleid.apple.com.

Can I share my bundle subscription with family members?
