Xfinity internet and mobile plans do not come with Peacock included, but some Xfinity TV packages bundle it at no extra cost

Comcast, which owns both Xfinity and Peacock, includes Peacock Premium (the ad-supported tier) free with certain Xfinity TV bundles. If you have Xfinity internet or mobile service alone, you do not receive Peacock. The inclusion depends entirely on which TV package you subscribe to, not on your internet speed or mobile plan.

Peacock Premium normally costs $5.99 per month. When it comes bundled with Xfinity TV, you are not paying extra—it is straightforward part of the package. Peacock Premium Ad-Free (the ad-free version at $11.99 per month) is not included in any Xfinity bundle; you would need to pay the full price if you want to remove ads.

Key Takeaways

  • Peacock Premium is included free with most Xfinity TV packages, but not with Xfinity internet or mobile service alone.
  • You must have an active Xfinity TV subscription to receive the bundled Peacock access—the streaming service does not come with internet-only plans.
  • The included version is Peacock Premium with ads; the ad-free tier requires a separate paid subscription.
  • Your Peacock access through Xfinity uses the same login as your Xfinity account, and you can watch on multiple devices.

Which Xfinity TV packages include Peacock

Comcast includes Peacock Premium with most Xfinity TV bundles, including the basic, mid-tier, and premium packages. The exact package names and channel lineups change by region, so the specific bundle you have may be called something different depending on where you live. The key is that if you pay for Xfinity TV service, you almost certainly have Peacock included.

The one exception is if you have a very old or grandfathered Xfinity TV plan that predates the Peacock bundle rollout. If you are unsure whether your plan includes it, you can check your Xfinity bill or log into your Xfinity account online to see what services are active. You can also call Xfinity customer service at 1-800-934-6489 and ask directly whether Peacock is included in your current package.

How to access Peacock through your Xfinity account

If Peacock is included in your Xfinity TV package, you do not need to sign up separately. Log into the Xfinity Stream app or website using your Xfinity username and password, and Peacock should appear as an available channel or app within the interface. On some Xfinity X1 or Flex boxes, Peacock may be pinned to your home screen automatically.

You can also read the Peacock app directly on your phone, tablet, or streaming device and sign in using your Xfinity credentials. The app will recognize that Peacock Premium is included with your account and grant you access without asking for a separate payment method. If you try to sign in and the app says you need to pay, it means Peacock is not included in your current Xfinity plan.

What Peacock Premium includes

Peacock Premium gives you access to thousands of movies, TV shows, live sports, and original series. The library includes content from NBC, Universal, DreamWorks, and other studios. You can watch on up to four devices at the same time, though only one stream can play in 4K resolution.

The ad-supported version (which is what comes with Xfinity) shows ads during most content, similar to traditional cable TV. Some shows and movies are marked as "Premium" and only play on the ad-free tier, so you will see a lock icon on those titles if you have the ad-supported version. Live sports, news, and most movies are available to all Premium subscribers regardless of ads.

Xfinity internet and mobile do not include Peacock

If you have Xfinity internet service but no TV package, Peacock is not included. The same applies if you have Xfinity Mobile (the wireless phone service). Peacock comes only with Xfinity TV subscriptions, not with internet or phone service alone.

If you want Peacock but do not have Xfinity TV, you can subscribe to Peacock directly through the Peacock website or app. Peacock Premium with ads costs $5.99 per month, and Peacock Premium Ad-Free costs $11.99 per month. You can also get Peacock as part of other bundles—for example, some cable providers and streaming services include it in their packages.

What happens if you cancel Xfinity TV

If you drop your Xfinity TV service and keep only internet or mobile, your Peacock access will stop. Comcast ties the bundled Peacock to your TV subscription, so losing the TV package means losing the streaming service. If you want to keep watching Peacock, you would need to pay for it separately at that point.

If you are thinking about canceling TV to save money, factor in the cost of Peacock if you use it regularly. In some cases, keeping the TV bundle might cost less than paying for Peacock separately, depending on your current rates and what other channels you watch.
