Xfinity bundles include Peacock at no extra cost, but only on certain plans and tiers
Comcast's Xfinity internet and TV bundles come with free access to Peacock, but the version you get depends on which plan you have. Xfinity Gig and Xfinity Gig Pro customers receive Peacock Premium at no charge. Xfinity Mobile customers also get Peacock Premium included. If you have a standard Xfinity internet plan without a TV bundle, you do not receive Peacock through Xfinity — you would need to pay for it separately or use the free ad-supported tier.
The inclusion is automatic; you do not need to sign up separately or enter a promotional code. Your Peacock account links to your Xfinity login, and the Premium tier activates when you sign in through the Xfinity app or Peacock's website using your Xfinity credentials.
Key Takeaways

- Xfinity Mobile subscribers also receive Peacock Premium as part of their service.
- Standard Xfinity internet plans and older TV bundles do not include Peacock Premium unless you pay separately.
- Your Peacock Premium access activates automatically when you log in with your Xfinity username and password.
- Peacock Premium removes ads and unlocks all content, while the free tier includes ads and has a smaller library.
What Xfinity plans come with Peacock Premium
Xfinity Gig is the primary plan that includes Peacock Premium. This is Comcast's fastest internet tier, offering speeds up to 2 gigabits per second. Xfinity Gig Pro, the highest tier available, also includes Peacock Premium. Both of these plans bundle the service automatically — there is no separate Peacock charge or set up step required.
Xfinity Mobile customers receive Peacock Premium as well, regardless of which mobile plan they choose. This applies to both individual lines and family plans. If you have Xfinity Mobile, you can use your mobile account credentials to access Peacock Premium on any device.
Older Xfinity TV bundles and standard internet-only plans do not include Peacock. If you have a legacy TV package or a basic internet plan, Peacock Premium is not part of your service. You would need to pay Peacock's monthly subscription fee or use Peacock's free ad-supported tier instead.
How to access Peacock through your Xfinity account
Once you have an Xfinity Gig, Xfinity Gig Pro, or Xfinity Mobile plan, accessing Peacock is straightforward. Go to Peacock's website or open the Peacock app on your device. Select the option to sign in with your Xfinity username and password. Your Peacock Premium access will set up when ready.
You can also access Peacock through the Xfinity Stream app if you have a compatible device. The Peacock tile appears in the app's main menu, and selecting it takes you directly to Peacock with your Premium tier already active. No separate login is needed if you are already signed into Xfinity Stream.
Peacock Premium works on phones, tablets, computers, smart TVs, and streaming devices like Roku and Apple TV. Your account works across all of these devices simultaneously, so you can watch on multiple screens at the same time.
What you get with Peacock Premium versus the free tier
Peacock Premium removes all ads from movies, shows, and sports. The free tier includes ads throughout content. Premium also unlocks the full Peacock library — the free version has a smaller selection of shows and movies available.
Premium includes live sports coverage, including NFL games, Premier League soccer, and WWE wrestling. The free tier has limited sports access. Premium also offers early access to some NBC shows before they air on television, and it includes the ability to read content to watch offline.
If your Xfinity plan includes Peacock Premium, you are getting the full service at no extra cost. The only limitation is that Peacock Premium is tied to your Xfinity account — if you cancel your Xfinity service, your Peacock Premium access ends.
What happens if your plan does not include Peacock
If you have a standard Xfinity internet plan or an older TV bundle, you can still use Peacock's free ad-supported tier. This version has ads, a smaller content library, and no offline downloads, but it costs nothing. You create a separate Peacock account (not linked to Xfinity) and watch with these limitations.
You can also pay for Peacock Premium directly if you want the full service. Peacock Premium costs a monthly fee when purchased separately from Peacock, not through Xfinity. This is a separate subscription from your Xfinity bill.
If you are considering upgrading to Xfinity Gig or Xfinity Mobile partly for Peacock access, factor in whether the included Premium tier saves you money compared to paying for it separately. Xfinity Gig is a premium internet plan with a higher monthly cost, so the Peacock inclusion is a bonus rather than the main reason to upgrade.
Checking your current plan and Peacock status
To confirm whether your Xfinity plan includes Peacock Premium, log into your Xfinity account online or through the Xfinity My Account app. Your plan details appear under "Services" or "My Services." Look for your internet or mobile plan name — if it says Xfinity Gig, Xfinity Gig Pro, or Xfinity Mobile, Peacock Premium is included.
You can also test your access directly. Go to Peacock.com and sign in with your Xfinity username and password. If your account is may be able to access, you will see "Premium" displayed in your profile, and you will be able to watch Premium content without ads. If you see the free tier instead, your plan does not include Premium.
If you recently upgraded to Xfinity Gig or Xfinity Mobile, it may take a few hours for Peacock Premium to set up on your account. If it does not appear within 24 hours, contact Xfinity support to confirm the set up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my Xfinity Peacock access on multiple devices at once?
Yes. Peacock Premium allows simultaneous streaming on multiple devices. You can watch on your phone, tablet, and TV at the same time using the same Xfinity account. There is no limit to how many devices you can sign in on, though only a certain number can stream at once depending on your plan.
What if I cancel my Xfinity service — do I keep Peacock Premium?
No. Peacock Premium access is tied to your active Xfinity service. If you cancel Xfinity Gig, Xfinity Gig Pro, or Xfinity Mobile, your Peacock Premium access ends. You would need to pay for Peacock Premium separately if you want to continue using it.
Does Xfinity TV include Peacock?
Older Xfinity TV bundles do not include Peacock Premium. Only the newer Xfinity Gig and Xfinity Gig Pro internet plans include it. If you have a traditional Xfinity TV package without Gig internet, you do not receive Peacock Premium unless you pay for it separately.
Can I share my Xfinity Peacock access with family members?
You can share your login credentials with people in your household, and they can watch using your account on their devices. However, Peacock's terms of service restrict account sharing to your household. Sharing your login with people outside your home may violate the service agreement.
Is there a promotional period for Peacock with Xfinity, or is it permanent?
Peacock Premium is included as a permanent benefit with Xfinity Gig, Xfinity Gig Pro, and Xfinity Mobile plans, not as a limited-time promotion. As long as you maintain one of these plans, you keep Peacock Premium at no extra charge.
