Peacock pricing through Xfinity

Peacock costs $5.99 per month with ads or $11.99 per month without ads when you add it to an Xfinity account. If you already have Xfinity internet, TV, or mobile service, you may see a discounted rate — Xfinity sometimes bundles Peacock at $4.99 per month for existing customers, though this offer changes. The exact price depends on your current Xfinity plan and whether Comcast is running a promotion in your area.

You do not have to bundle Peacock with Xfinity to watch it. You can subscribe to Peacock directly through the Peacock app or website at the same $5.99 or $11.99 monthly rates. The main reason to add it through Xfinity is convenience — you see one bill instead of two, and you manage both services in the same place.

Key Takeaways

  • Peacock through Xfinity costs $5.99 per month with ads or $11.99 per month without ads, the same price as subscribing directly.
  • Xfinity sometimes offers discounted Peacock rates to existing internet, TV, or mobile customers, usually around $4.99 per month.
  • You can add Peacock to your Xfinity bill online, through the Xfinity app, or by calling Xfinity customer service.
  • Peacock also offers a free tier with ads and limited content, which requires no payment or Xfinity account.

How to add Peacock to your Xfinity account

Log into your Xfinity account online or open the Xfinity app on your phone or TV. Go to the "Add Services" or "Browse Add-Ons" section — the exact name varies by device. Search for Peacock, select the plan you want (with ads or without), and confirm the purchase. The charge appears on your next Xfinity bill.

If you prefer not to use the app or website, call Xfinity customer service at 1-800-934-6489 and ask to add Peacock to your account. A representative can tell you whether you may have access to for any current promotional rates and will add it for you over the phone.

Once Peacock is added, you can watch it on any device — your Xfinity TV box, a phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device like Roku or Apple TV. You do not need to do anything special to set it up beyond adding it to your bill.

What the ad-free plan includes

The $11.99 per month plan removes ads from most Peacock content. A small number of shows and movies still have ads even on the paid tier — Peacock discloses this upfront, and it typically affects live sports and a few licensed programs. You get the same library of shows, movies, sports, and news as the ad-supported plan; the only difference is fewer interruptions.

The ad-supported $5.99 plan shows ads throughout shows and movies, similar to traditional cable. Both plans let you stream on up to four devices at the same time, though only one person can watch per account at a time in most cases.

Comparing Peacock to other streaming services

Peacock's $5.99 with-ads price is lower than Netflix's cheapest paid plan ($6.99 with ads) and similar to Disney+ with ads ($7.99). The $11.99 ad-free price sits between Disney+ without ads ($13.99) and Netflix Standard ($15.49). If you watch a lot of live sports, Peacock includes Premier League soccer, WWE wrestling, and some NFL games, which other services do not offer at this price point.

Many people bundle Peacock with other services. Xfinity sometimes offers packages that include Peacock, Disney+, and other streaming services together at a discount. Ask Xfinity customer service whether any bundles are available for your account.

The free Peacock tier

Peacock offers a free plan with ads that does not require an Xfinity account or any payment. The free tier includes a limited selection of shows, movies, and news — roughly 7,000 titles compared to the 15,000+ available to paid subscribers. You can watch for as long as you want without paying anything.

The free plan is worth trying if you are unsure whether you want to pay. If you find yourself running out of content or hitting the paywall frequently, that is a sign the paid plan might be worth it for you.

When Xfinity includes Peacock for free

Xfinity occasionally includes Peacock at no extra cost for customers with certain TV or internet plans, usually as a limited-time promotion. These offers typically last three to six months, then revert to the regular $4.99 or $5.99 monthly price. Check your Xfinity bill or account page to see whether Peacock is currently included with your plan.

If you have an older Xfinity plan, you may not see Peacock offered at all. Newer plans and bundles are more likely to include it as an add-on option. Call Xfinity at 1-800-934-6489 to ask whether your plan qualifies for any current Peacock offers.

Canceling Peacock on Xfinity

You can cancel Peacock through your Xfinity account online or in the app by going to "Manage Services" or "My Services" and selecting Peacock, then choosing "Remove" or "Cancel." The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, and you will not be charged again. If you cancel mid-month, you keep access until the end of that month.

If you added Peacock through Xfinity but want to keep watching, you can switch to a direct Peacock subscription instead. Sign up at peacocktv.com using the same email address, and you will keep your watchlist and viewing history. You can then remove Peacock from your Xfinity bill.
