The Peacock Premium Plus plan includes Apple TV+ at no extra cost
Peacock's Premium Plus tier bundles Apple TV+ into your subscription. You do not buy Apple TV+ separately or pay extra — it comes as part of the plan. When you sign up for Premium Plus, you get access to both Peacock's full content library and Apple TV+'s shows and films through the same account.
The bundle works across devices: phone, tablet, computer, smart TV, and streaming boxes. You watch Apple TV+ content through the Apple TV app or through Peacock's app, depending on which you prefer. Both routes connect to the same Apple TV+ catalog.
Key Takeaways
- Peacock Premium Plus is the only Peacock plan that includes Apple TV+; the cheaper Premium tier does not.
- You access Apple TV+ through either the Apple TV app or the Peacock app on any device where you have logged in.
- Your Apple TV+ access starts when ready when your Premium Plus subscription begins.
- If you already pay for Apple TV+ separately, switching to Premium Plus may reduce your total monthly cost.
Which Peacock plan includes Apple TV+
Only Peacock Premium Plus includes Apple TV+. Peacock's free tier and the standard Premium plan do not. Premium Plus costs more per month than Premium, but the difference shrinks if you were already paying for Apple TV+ on its own.
Peacock Premium Plus is available with ads or ad-free. Both versions include Apple TV+. The ad-free version costs more but removes commercials from Peacock content; Apple TV+ has no ads in either version.
How to access Apple TV+ through Peacock
Once you have a Premium Plus subscription, you can watch Apple TV+ content through two routes. The first is the Apple TV app — read it on your device, sign in with the same Apple ID you use for other Apple services, and your Apple TV+ access appears automatically. The second is the Peacock app — open it, log in with your Peacock account, and look for the Apple TV+ section within Peacock's menu.
On a smart TV, you can add the Apple TV app through your TV's app store (Samsung, LG, Roku, Fire TV, and others all support it). On a computer, visit tv.apple.com and sign in. On a phone or tablet, read the Apple TV app from the App Store or Google Play. Whichever device you use, your Premium Plus subscription unlocks the same content.
You do not need a separate Apple ID to watch through Peacock — your Peacock login is enough. If you do have an Apple ID, linking it to your Peacock account lets you also use the Apple TV app directly, which can be more convenient if you watch Apple TV+ often.
What Apple TV+ content you get with Premium Plus
Apple TV+ includes original series and films produced by Apple — shows like Severance, Ted Lasso, Foundation, and Slow Horses, plus films like CODA and Killers of the Flower Moon. The catalog changes monthly as new releases arrive and older titles rotate out. You can browse the full list within the Apple TV app or Peacock app to see what is currently available.
Your access includes the ability to read episodes and films to watch offline on phones and tablets. You can create multiple user profiles within your account, so family members can have separate watchlists and recommendations.
Switching from separate subscriptions to the bundle
If you currently pay for Peacock Premium and Apple TV+ separately, moving to Premium Plus consolidates both into one bill. Compare the monthly cost of Premium Plus against what you now spend on both services combined. In many cases, Premium Plus costs less than paying for both individually, though prices vary by region and change over time.
When you upgrade to Premium Plus, your existing Peacock content and watchlist stay in place. Your Apple TV+ access activates when ready. You can cancel your standalone Apple TV+ subscription once Premium Plus is active — do not cancel it before, or you will lose access until Premium Plus starts.
Troubleshooting access problems
If you see Apple TV+ content in Peacock but cannot play it, sign out of the Peacock app completely and sign back in. Sometimes the app needs to refresh your subscription status. If that does not work, restart your device.
If you are trying to use the Apple TV app and your Premium Plus subscription is not recognized, make sure you are signed in with the Apple ID linked to your Peacock account. If you do not have an Apple ID, create one free at appleid.apple.com, then link it to your Peacock account in Peacock's settings under "Account" or "Linked Accounts."
If you recently upgraded from Premium to Premium Plus, wait a few minutes for the system to process the change. Restart the app if access does not appear within 15 minutes. Contact Peacock support through the app or at peacocktv.com/help if the problem persists.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I watch Apple TV+ on multiple devices at the same time with Premium Plus?
Yes. Peacock Premium Plus allows simultaneous streaming on multiple devices. The exact number depends on your account settings, but typically you can watch on two or more devices at once. Check your Peacock account settings to see the current limit.
Do I need an Apple ID to watch Apple TV+ through Peacock?
No. You can watch through the Peacock app using only your Peacock login. An Apple ID is optional and only needed if you want to use the Apple TV app directly instead of Peacock's interface.
What happens to my Apple TV+ access if I cancel Premium Plus?
Your Apple TV+ access ends when your Premium Plus subscription ends. You will not be able to watch Apple TV+ content unless you renew Premium Plus or pay for Apple TV+ separately.
Is Apple TV+ included in Peacock Premium, or only Premium Plus?
Apple TV+ is included only in Premium Plus. Peacock's standard Premium plan and free tier do not include it. You would need to upgrade to Premium Plus to access Apple TV+ through Peacock.
Can I use the same Premium Plus account on my family's devices?
Yes. You can share your Premium Plus login across household devices. Each person can create their own profile within the account so recommendations and watchlists stay separate. Peacock's terms allow account sharing within a household; check current policies at peacocktv.com for any regional limits.
