Peacock is the only streaming service where you can stream Super Bowl 2026. Sure, you can use a live TV streaming service like YouTube TV, or stream Super Bowl LX with an antenna. But don't expect to be able to watch the Big Game on Netflix or Prime Video. It's Peacock or bust.

So now, you might be wondering if you can get Peacock for free. Maybe you just want it for streaming the Super Bowl, so you don't want to pay $10.99 for a full month of Peacock Premium. Or maybe you're not sure you want to commit to a streaming service you're not familiar with.

How to get Peacock for free for Super Bowl 2026

Get Peacock Premium with Walmart+

Walmart Plus offers a lot. You get benefits like free same-day delivery on groceries and Rx, free shipping, deeper gas discounts, early access to deals, and more. But you also get to choose a free streaming service: Paramount+ or Peacock Premium. Choose the latter, and you'll be able to stream the Super Bowl on Peacock for free.

Even better, right now, Walmart+ is offering a 30-day free trial to new eligible users. Plus, you can change your free streaming service every 90 days, so it might be worth keeping this service around, even after your trial is up.

Walmart Plus costs $12.95/month (or save 37% with an annual subscription, which costs $98), and offers a free 30-day trial. You get a flexible streaming benefit that will give you Peacock Premium for free to watch the Big Game. You also get free same-day delivery on groceries and Rx, free shipping, deeper gas discounts, early access to deals, and more.

Get Peacock free with Instacart+ (free trial)

If you still need to get groceries in to make your special Super Bowl nachos or Big Game burgers, then it's not too late to get Instacart+ and have groceries delivered straight to your door. Even better, if you sign up for Instacart+ right now, you get a free Peacock Premium subscription as long as you're an Instacart+ subscriber.

The real highlight of this deal, though, is that Instacart+ offers a free trial to new eligible users, currently 14 days. It's not quite as good as the Walmart+ free trial, but it's a great fallback option.

So you can sign up now, score delivered groceries and free Peacock, and then cancel as soon as the Lombardi Trophy is awarded and pay $0 out of pocket.

Sign up for Instacart+ now and get it for free, plus $0 delivery fees on all orders over $10 from most stores and all orders over $35 from Costco and restaurants. 14-day free trial for new eligible users.

Get Peacock Premium free with select Xfinity plans

If you have an Xfinity home internet plan, you might be eligible for a free Peacock Premium subscription. It's how I watch the streaming service for free.

Internet-only subscribers who have plans at the 75 Mbps tier or above can add the Xfinity NOW TV service. That service includes access to Peacock Premium at no extra cost. Simply activate the subscription via your Xfinity account page, and then you’ll be able to start streaming Peacock Premium immediately.

Alternatively, customers with Xfinity internet service with access to specific Comcast-branded devices are also eligible for a free six months of Peacock Premium. That deal, though, must be redeemed through the Peacock app on your eligible streaming device.

Finally, if you are a new or existing Xfinity Internet customer with the Gigabit or Gigabit Plus (like me), then you can receive a one-time offer that includes Peacock Premium at no additional cost for two years. Subscribers will need to go to xfinity.com/activate-peacock to activate their Peacock promotion. It's pretty painless, so you should have no trouble getting set up before kickoff.
