Sign in with your Xfinity credentials directly

You can log into Peacock using your Xfinity username and password without creating a separate Peacock account. On the Peacock website or app, select "Sign in with Xfinity" or "Xfinity" from the login options. Enter your Xfinity username (the email address or account number you use for Xfinity services) and your Xfinity password, then follow the prompts to authorize Peacock to access your account.

This method links your Peacock viewing to your existing Xfinity subscription. If your Xfinity plan includes Peacock at no extra cost, you'll have when ready access to Peacock's full content library once you sign in this way. The authorization happens once; after that, you stay signed in on that device until you manually sign out.

Key Takeaways

  • Select "Sign in with Xfinity" on the Peacock login screen and enter your Xfinity username and password.
  • Your Xfinity plan must include Peacock access for this method to work; some Xfinity packages offer it at no extra charge.
  • After you authorize Peacock once, you remain signed in on that device unless you manually sign out.
  • If you forget your Xfinity password, use the password reset option on the Xfinity login page before attempting to sign into Peacock.
  • On mobile apps, the sign-in process is the same, but you may need to allow the app to open your browser to complete authorization.

What happens if your Xfinity plan doesn't include Peacock

Not all Xfinity packages come with Peacock access included. If your plan does not, you will see a message after entering your credentials explaining that Peacock is not part of your current subscription. At that point, you have two options: upgrade your Xfinity plan to one that includes Peacock, or create a standalone Peacock account and pay for a Peacock subscription separately.

To check whether your Xfinity plan includes Peacock, log into your Xfinity account online or call Xfinity customer service at 1-800-934-6489. A representative can tell you what's included in your current package and what it would cost to add Peacock if it's not already there.

Troubleshooting sign-in problems with Xfinity

If you enter your Xfinity credentials correctly but the sign-in fails, the most common cause is an incorrect password. Go to the Xfinity login page (xfinity.comcast.net) and use the "Forgot username or password?" link to reset your password. Once you've set a new password, return to Peacock and try signing in again with your updated credentials.

If the problem persists, clear your browser's cache and cookies, then try again. On mobile apps, uninstall and reinstall the Peacock app, then attempt to sign in. If you still cannot sign in after these steps, contact Xfinity support directly—they can verify your account status and confirm whether Peacock access is active on your subscription.

Signing in on different devices

You can sign into Peacock with your Xfinity account on a web browser, smartphone app, tablet app, or connected TV device. The sign-in process is the same on all platforms: select the Xfinity sign-in option and enter your credentials. On some connected TV devices (like Roku, Apple TV, or Fire TV), you may be directed to a web page to complete the sign-in, then returned to the app once authorization is complete.

You can be signed in on multiple devices at the same time. If you want to sign out on a specific device, open the Peacock app or website, go to your account settings, and select "Sign out" or "Log out." This removes your session on that device only and does not affect your sign-in status on other devices.

Switching between Xfinity sign-in and a standalone Peacock account

If you originally signed in with Xfinity but later want to use a separate Peacock account instead (or vice versa), you will need to sign out of Peacock first. Go to your account settings and select the sign-out option. Then, on the login screen, choose the sign-in method you want to use going forward—either Xfinity or your standalone Peacock email and password.

Note that switching sign-in methods does not transfer your watch history, saved shows, or profile settings between accounts. If you have customized your Peacock profile under one method, those preferences will not carry over if you switch to a different sign-in method.

What to do if you don't remember your Xfinity username

Your Xfinity username is typically the email address you registered with Xfinity, or it may be your Xfinity account number. If you're unsure which one you used, go to the Xfinity login page and select "Forgot username or password?" Enter the phone number or service address associated with your Xfinity account, and Xfinity will send you a recovery email with your username and a password reset link.

Once you have your username and have reset your password, you can return to Peacock and sign in using those credentials. If you continue to have trouble locating your username, call Xfinity customer service at 1-800-934-6489 and a representative can provide it to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pay extra to use Peacock with my Xfinity account?

It depends on your Xfinity plan. Some packages include Peacock at no additional cost, while others do not. Check your Xfinity bill or contact Xfinity customer service to confirm whether Peacock is included in your current subscription.

Can I use the same Xfinity account to sign in on multiple devices at once?

Yes. You can be signed into Peacock on several devices simultaneously using the same Xfinity credentials. If you want to sign out on one device, do so in the app or website settings—it will not affect your sign-in status on other devices.

What if I see an error message saying my Xfinity account is not recognized?

This usually means your password is incorrect or your account information has changed. Use the password reset tool on the Xfinity login page, then try signing into Peacock again. If the error continues, contact Xfinity support to verify your account is active and in good standing.

Can I create a Peacock account if I already signed in with Xfinity?

Yes, but you would need to use a different email address for the standalone Peacock account. You can have both a Peacock account linked to Xfinity and a separate Peacock account, though you would sign in differently depending on which one you want to use.
