Which Xfinity packages include Peacock Premium

Some packages include it and others do not, so the best way to know for certain is to check your Xfinity bill or contact Xfinity customer service.

Xfinity occasionally updates which packages include Peacock, and regional differences exist. If your current package does not include it, you can ask Xfinity whether upgrading to a different package would add Peacock, or you can purchase a Peacock subscription separately (outside of Xfinity) for a monthly fee.

The difference between Peacock Premium and Premium Plus

Peacock Premium is the version included with Xfinity. It lets you watch most of Peacock's library—movies, TV shows, sports, and news—but includes advertisements during playback. The ads are typically 15 to 30 seconds and appear at natural breaks in the content.

Peacock Premium Plus removes the ads and costs extra per month. If you want to upgrade from the included Premium tier to Premium Plus, you can do so through the Peacock app or website. The upgrade fee will be added to your Xfinity bill each month. Peacock Premium Plus also includes offline read capability, which Premium does not offer.
