Verizon's Peacock Bundles and Packages

Verizon does offer Peacock, but the way you get it depends on which Verizon service you have. If you subscribe to Verizon Fios (the fiber internet and TV service), you can add Peacock+ to your bill. Verizon Wireless customers on certain plans can also get Peacock included at no extra cost, though the tier and terms vary by plan.

The catch is that Verizon does not bundle Peacock into every plan automatically. You have to choose it as an add-on for Fios, or you need to be on a specific Verizon Wireless plan that includes it. The free or discounted Peacock access is not the same across all Verizon offerings, so checking your specific plan details matters.

Key Takeaways

  • Verizon Fios TV customers can add Peacock+ (the ad-free tier) as a paid add-on to their bill.
  • Some Verizon Wireless plans include Peacock+ at no extra charge, but this varies by plan tier and changes periodically.
  • Verizon Internet-only customers (no TV or wireless) cannot get Peacock through Verizon.
  • You can always subscribe to Peacock directly through the Peacock app or website, regardless of your Verizon service.

Verizon Fios TV and Peacock+

If you have Verizon Fios TV, you can add Peacock+ as a premium channel add-on. This is the ad-free version of Peacock, and it costs extra per month on top of your Fios bill. The exact price varies by region and changes over time, so you will want to check your Fios account or call Verizon directly for current pricing.

Adding Peacock+ through Fios means the charge appears on your Fios bill alongside your TV and internet charges. You log in with your Verizon account credentials on the Peacock app or website, and your subscription is tied to that account. If you cancel Fios, your Peacock+ access through Fios ends as well.

Verizon Wireless Plans With Peacock Included

Verizon Wireless has offered Peacock as part of certain phone plans, particularly higher-tier unlimited plans. The inclusion has changed over time — some plans have included Peacock+, others have included the free ad-supported tier, and some plans include nothing at all. You need to check your specific plan details to know what you have.

To learn about your Verizon Wireless plan includes Peacock, log into your My Verizon account online or open the My Verizon app. Look for your plan details or benefits section. If Peacock is included, it will be listed there. You can also call Verizon customer service at 611 from your Verizon phone or 1-908-559-4899 to ask about your plan.

If your plan includes Peacock, you typically set up it through the Peacock app by signing in with your Verizon phone number or Verizon account email. The benefit is usually valid as long as you keep that plan active.

Verizon Internet-Only Customers

If you have Verizon Fios Internet or Verizon Home Internet but no TV service and no Verizon Wireless plan, Verizon does not offer Peacock as part of your service. You would need to subscribe to Peacock directly through the Peacock app or website if you want to watch.

Peacock offers a free ad-supported tier that requires no payment, so that is always an option. If you want the ad-free experience (Peacock+), you can pay for it directly through Peacock rather than through Verizon.

How to Subscribe to Peacock Directly

You do not have to go through Verizon to watch Peacock. You can read the Peacock app on your phone, tablet, smart TV, or streaming device and sign up directly. Peacock offers a free tier with ads, and Peacock+ (ad-free) is available as a monthly subscription paid directly to Peacock, not to Verizon.

Subscribing directly means you control the subscription independently of any Verizon service. If you switch internet providers or cancel your phone plan, your Peacock subscription stays active as long as you keep paying for it. This can be simpler if you do not want to manage it through a Verizon bill.

Comparing Your Options

The choice between getting Peacock through Verizon or directly depends on what services you already have and what you are willing to pay. If you have Fios TV and want ad-free streaming, adding Peacock+ to your bill keeps everything in one place. If you have a Verizon Wireless plan that includes Peacock, that is a benefit you are already paying for and should use.

If neither applies to you, or if you want to avoid another monthly charge, the free Peacock tier works fine for many people. The ad-free version costs the same whether you pay Verizon or Peacock directly, so there is no financial advantage to bundling unless you are already a Fios customer looking for convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Verizon Wireless include Peacock with all plans?

No. Peacock inclusion varies by plan and changes periodically. Check your My Verizon account or call 611 to see if your specific plan includes it. Most entry-level plans do not include Peacock.

Can I use Peacock if I have Verizon Internet but no TV service?

Verizon does not bundle Peacock with internet-only service. You can subscribe to Peacock directly through the app or website. The free tier requires no payment; Peacock+ costs extra.

What happens to my Peacock access if I cancel Verizon?

If Peacock came through Verizon (Fios or Wireless), it ends when you cancel that service. If you subscribed directly to Peacock, it continues as long as you pay for it, regardless of your Verizon status.

Is Peacock+ through Verizon Fios cheaper than subscribing directly?

The price is usually the same. Bundling through Fios is mainly for convenience — one bill, one login. There is no cost savings compared to paying Peacock directly.

How do I set up Peacock if my Verizon plan includes it?

Open the Peacock app, select "Sign In," and choose the option to sign in with your Verizon phone number or Verizon account email. Follow the prompts to link your Verizon account. Your plan benefit should set up automatically.
