NBCUniversal’s streaming service Peacock Premium recently made headlines when it was the exclusive broadcaster of the 2024 wildcard NFL match between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins, which went on to become the most-streamed football game in history, drawing 29 million viewers in total.
Though live sports may have helped boost Peacock Premium’s subscriber numbers to around 30 million, the $5.99 ad-supported service also includes access to original series like "Poker Face" and "The Traitors," as well as popular library titles like "The Office." For $11.99, users can upgrade to remove (most) ads.
And while the service is competitively priced, if you’re looking to get it for free, there are several ways to do so:
Does Peacock have a free trial?
Though Peacock Premium has had 7-day free trials in the past, it has recently discontinued this offering, likely because of the aforementioned high-profile football game. While it seems likely that a Peacock free trial will return at some point, as of this moment, there is no way to try this service out before you subscribe.
Peacock Premium included free with Instacart Plus
If you are an Instacart Plus subscriber you can now add a free Peacock Premium subscription to the list of the various membership perks that come with the $10 per month grocery delivery service.

Is Peacock included with a Halloween Horror Nights ticket?

Though details have not been announced for the 2024 event just yet, Halloween fans should keep an eye out this summer when tickets go on sale to see if this offer returns.
