The basic login steps for Peacock
To log in to Peacock, go to peacock.com on a web browser or open the Peacock app on your phone, tablet, or streaming device. Enter the email address or username associated with your account, then enter your password. If you have a Peacock account through a cable or internet provider, you may see a "Sign in with TV Provider" option instead — select that and follow your provider's login steps.
Once you enter your credentials correctly, you will be logged in and can start watching. If you see an error message, check that you typed your email and password exactly as they are — passwords are case-sensitive, meaning capital and lowercase letters matter.
If you cannot remember your password, click "Forgot Password" on the login screen. Peacock will send a reset link to the email address on your account. Check your spam or promotions folder if you do not see the email in your inbox within a few minutes.

Logging in on web browsers
On a computer or laptop, open any web browser and navigate to peacock.com. You will see a login button in the top right corner of the page. Click it and enter your email address and password in the fields that appear.
If you have a free Peacock account, you may be asked to sign in with an email address and create a password during your first visit. If you have a paid subscription or a Peacock account through your cable provider, the login process is the same — enter your credentials and click the login button.
After you log in, your account name will appear in the top right corner instead of the login button. You can click your account name to access settings, manage your profile, or sign out.
Logging in on the Peacock mobile app
read the Peacock app from the Apple App Store (for iPhone and iPad) or Google Play Store (for Android phones and tablets). Open the app and tap the login button, usually located at the bottom of the screen or in a menu.
Enter your email address and password, then tap "Sign In." If you use a cable or internet provider account, tap "Sign in with TV Provider" and follow the provider's login steps on the screen that appears.
The mobile app will remember your login information, so you will not need to sign in again unless you manually sign out or uninstall and reinstall the app.
Logging in on streaming devices and smart TVs
Streaming devices like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Google Chromecast all have the Peacock app available. read the Peacock app from your device's app store, then open it and select "Sign In."
On most streaming devices, you will see a code on your TV screen. Go to peacock.com/set up on a phone, tablet, or computer, enter that code, and then enter your email and password. This method avoids typing on a remote control, which can be slow and error-prone.
Some smart TVs have Peacock built in. If your TV has Peacock pre-installed, open it directly from your TV's home screen and follow the same login steps.
What to do if you cannot log in
If you see an error message after entering your credentials, first check that you typed your email address and password correctly. Passwords are case-sensitive — if your password contains capital letters, make sure they are in the right places.
If you are certain your credentials are correct, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then log in again. On most browsers, you can do this by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Delete (Windows) or Command+Shift+Delete (Mac), then selecting "All time" and clicking "Clear data."
If you are logging in on a mobile app or streaming device, try signing out completely, closing the app, and signing back in. If the problem continues, uninstall the app and reinstall it from your device's app store.
If you still cannot log in after these steps, contact Peacock support through the help section on peacock.com. They can verify your account and help you regain access.
Managing multiple devices and simultaneous streams
You can log in to your Peacock account on multiple devices — a phone, tablet, computer, and streaming device at the same time. However, the number of people who can watch at the same time depends on your subscription tier.
Free and Premium subscribers can stream on one device at a time. Premium Plus subscribers can stream on up to four devices at the same time. If someone tries to watch on a fifth device while four are already streaming, they will be asked to stop a stream on another device.
If you want to log out of a device you no longer use, go to your account settings on peacock.com, find the "Devices" or "Active Sessions" section, and select the device you want to remove. This will sign you out on that device without affecting your other logins.
Logging in with a TV provider account
If your Peacock account is bundled with your cable or internet service, you do not need to create a separate Peacock password. Instead, use the "Sign in with TV Provider" option on the login screen.
Select your provider from the list — common providers include Comcast Xfinity, Charter Spectrum, Cox, and Verizon Fios. You will be taken to your provider's login page. Enter the username and password you use for your provider's online account, and Peacock will link to your service.
If you do not see your provider in the list, or if you are unsure whether your service includes Peacock, contact your cable or internet provider directly. They can confirm whether Peacock is included with your plan and help you set up the connection.
