Change Your Email in Account Settings on the Web or App

To change the email on your Peacock account, sign in to your account, go to Account Settings, and update the email address in the profile section. The process takes about two minutes and works the same way whether you use the website or the mobile app. You will need to confirm the new email address before the change takes effect.

Peacock sends a confirmation link to your new email address. You must click that link within a set time to verify you own the address. Until you confirm, your old email remains active on the account. If you do not see the confirmation email, check your spam folder or request a new confirmation link from the settings page.

Key Takeaways

  • Sign into your Peacock account, open Account Settings, and select the option to change your email address in the profile or account information section.
  • Peacock will send a confirmation link to your new email address, and you must click it to complete the change.
  • The old email address stays active on your account until you confirm the new one, so you can still sign in with either address during the transition.
  • If the confirmation email does not arrive within a few minutes, check your spam folder or request a new confirmation link from settings.
  • You do not need to change your password when you change your email, unless you want to for security reasons.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Web

Open a web browser and go to peacock.com. Sign in with your current email and password. Once you are logged in, look for your profile icon or account menu, usually in the top right corner of the page. Click it and select "Account Settings" or "Profile Settings" from the dropdown menu.

In the Account Settings page, find the section labeled "Email" or "Account Information." Click the "Edit" or "Change" button next to your current email address. A text field will appear where you can type your new email. Delete the old address and type the new one carefully—typos will prevent the confirmation email from reaching you. Click "Save" or "Update" when you are done.

Peacock will display a message saying a confirmation email has been sent to your new address. Go to your email inbox (the new one you just entered) and look for a message from Peacock. The email will contain a link or a button labeled "Confirm Email" or "Verify Email Address." Click it to complete the change. Your new email is now active on your account.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Mobile App

Open the Peacock app on your phone or tablet and sign in if you are not already logged in. Tap the profile icon, usually located in the bottom right corner of the screen. Select "Account Settings" or "Settings" from the menu that appears.

Scroll down to find "Email" or "Account Information." Tap the option to edit or change your email address. The app will open a text field with your current email highlighted. Clear it and type your new email address. Double-check for spelling errors before proceeding. Tap "Save" or "Confirm" to send the verification email.

Open your email app and check the inbox for the new email address you just entered. Find the message from Peacock and tap the confirmation link inside it. This step must be done on the same device or within the same browser session for the link to work properly. Once confirmed, your new email address is linked to your Peacock account.

What Happens If You Forget to Confirm

If you do not click the confirmation link within 24 to 48 hours, the link may expire. You can still sign in to your account using your old email address. Go back to Account Settings and request a new confirmation email to be sent to your new address. Peacock will generate a fresh link that is valid for another 24 to 48 hours.

If you no longer have access to the new email address you entered, you will need to change it again to an address you can access. Sign in with your old email, go back to Account Settings, and enter a different email address. Then confirm that one instead. There is no limit to how many times you can request a new confirmation email.

Troubleshooting: Confirmation Email Not Arriving

Check your spam, junk, or promotions folder first. Peacock's confirmation emails sometimes get filtered there by mistake. Search for "Peacock" or "noreply@peacock" in your email to find it faster. If you find it in spam, mark it as "Not Spam" so future emails from Peacock go to your inbox.

If the email is not in any folder, wait a few minutes and check again—sometimes emails take a few minutes to arrive. If you have waited 10 minutes and still see nothing, go back to Account Settings on Peacock and look for a button that says "Resend Confirmation Email" or "Send Again." Click it to request a new confirmation link. You may need to wait a few minutes between requests.

Make sure you typed the new email address correctly when you entered it in settings. A single typo will send the confirmation to the wrong inbox. If you are unsure, change the email address again to the correct spelling and request a new confirmation email.

Changing Email on a Shared or Family Account

If you are the account owner, you can change the email address associated with the main account. This email is used for billing, password resets, and account recovery. Changing it affects the whole account, not just your profile within a family plan.

If you are a family member with your own profile on a shared account, you may not be able to change the account email directly. Instead, you can change the email associated with your individual profile. Ask the account owner to check whether your plan allows profile-level email changes. Some Peacock plans let each family member have a separate email for their profile, while others do not.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to change my password when I change my email?

No. Your password stays the same when you change your email. You can still sign in with your old password after the email change is complete. However, if you want to update your password for security reasons, you can do that separately in Account Settings at any time.

Can I use the same email for two Peacock accounts?

No. Peacock does not allow one email address to be linked to more than one account. If you try to change your email to an address already in use, the system will reject it and ask you to choose a different email.

What if I change my email but then want to change it back?

You can change your email as many times as you want. Go back to Account Settings, follow the same steps, and enter your old email address (or any other address). You will need to confirm the change again with a verification link sent to that address.

Will changing my email affect my billing or subscription?

No. Your subscription and billing information stay the same. Peacock will continue to charge your payment method as usual. The email change only affects which address is used for account notifications, password resets, and support communications.

How long does it take for the email change to go through?

The change is when ready once you click the confirmation link in the verification email. Until you confirm, your old email remains active. If you do not confirm within 24 to 48 hours, the request expires and you will need to start over.
