Yes, you can watch the Today Show on Peacock
The Today Show airs live on Peacock every weekday morning from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Eastern time. You can watch the full broadcast on any device where you have Peacock installed — phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device — as long as you have an active subscription. Peacock offers both free and paid tiers; the free tier includes some Today Show content, but a paid subscription gives you access to the full live broadcast and on-demand episodes.
If you miss the live broadcast, Peacock also stores recent episodes on demand, so you can watch segments or full episodes later the same day or within a few days. The exact window for on-demand playback varies, but typically you can find the most recent episodes in the app's Today Show section.
Key Takeaways
- The Today Show streams live on Peacock weekday mornings from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Eastern time with a paid Peacock subscription.
- Peacock's free tier includes some Today Show clips and segments, but not the full live broadcast.
- Recent episodes are available on demand within the Peacock app, usually for several days after they air.
- You can watch on any device with the Peacock app installed, including phones, tablets, computers, and smart TVs.
What Peacock subscription tier you need
Peacock offers two paid tiers: Peacock Premium and Peacock Premium Plus. Both include live access to the Today Show. The difference between them is that Premium Plus removes ads during on-demand content, while Premium still shows ads. The free tier of Peacock includes clips and highlights from the Today Show but does not include the live broadcast.
If you already subscribe to Comcast, Cox, or certain other cable or internet providers, you may have Peacock Premium included at no extra cost. Check your provider's website or call customer service to see whether your plan includes Peacock access.
How to find and watch the Today Show on Peacock
Open the Peacock app and look for the Today Show in the search bar or in the "Featured" section on the home screen. During live broadcast hours (7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Eastern, weekdays), you will see a live tile or banner. Tap or click it to start watching. If you are outside the live window, navigate to the Today Show section to browse on-demand episodes.
On a computer or phone, you can also go to peacock.com, sign in, and search for "Today Show" directly. The same live and on-demand options appear there. If you are using a smart TV app, the layout may differ slightly, but the Today Show will be in the same featured or search areas.
When the Today Show is available live on Peacock
The Today Show streams live on Peacock Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Eastern time. This is the same time the show airs on NBC television. The show does not air live on weekends, though Peacock may offer weekend clips or special segments on demand.
If you are on the West Coast, the live stream still follows Eastern time, so it will begin at 4 a.m. Pacific. Some viewers prefer to watch the on-demand version later in the day instead of waking up early.
On-demand episodes and how long they stay available
After the live broadcast ends, the full episode becomes available on demand in the Peacock app. You can usually find and watch recent episodes for about five to seven days after they air, though this window can vary. Peacock does not keep a rolling archive of every episode from months past, so if you want to watch a specific episode, it is best to do so within a week of air date.
Some segments or clips from the Today Show may remain available longer than the full episode. These appear in the Today Show section of the app and are often organized by topic or guest.
Watching on different devices
You can watch the Today Show on Peacock through the app on iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, computers (via peacock.com or the Windows app), and smart TVs including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Google TV, and Samsung TV. Sign in with the same Peacock account on any device, and your watch history and bookmarks will sync across them.
If you are casting from a phone or tablet to a TV using Chromecast or AirPlay, make sure your Peacock subscription is active on the device doing the casting. Some smart TV apps require you to sign in directly within the app rather than casting from another device.
