- Peacock’s greatest price increase enters into force on Wednesday, July 23
- Both the ‘Premium’ and ‘Premium plus’ plans will increase by $ 3 per month
- This is the third price walk that the NBCU transmission service has announced since its launch
Peacock plans to increase the price of its two main subscription levels at the end of this week (July 23), and is sending the packaging of subscribers.
After the reports that the NBCuniversal Transmission Service was about to implement its increased price increase since it was launched in July 2020, users have resorted to social networks to express their frustrations, and some declared that they have already closed their accounts.
R/Television comment
It is understandable when the price increase marks the third increase since the arrival of Peacock. In fact, the service raised its prices twice in the space of 12 months in the midst of the Paris Olympic Games in 2024.
This time, Peacock’s’ premium ‘(premium’ plan is increasing from $ 7.99 to $ 10.99 per month, or $ 109.99 annually. Meanwhile, its ‘Premium Plus’ plan (limited ads) will grow from $ 13.99 to $ 16.99 per month, or $ 169.99 annually.
The new price comes into force on Wednesday for new customers and returning. However, if it is an existing subscriber, and has not yet canceled, the new higher prices will be charged since August 23, depending on its next billing date.

Peacock’s last price increase means that it is officially more expensive than the equivalent levels of ads and without ads of the tastes of Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max and Paramount+. But, it is worth noting that Peacock has been spending more on the content lately, especially for the transmission rights of expensive sporting events, which cost much more than a television and original films.
On the other hand, NBCuniversal has been acquiring the rights of many sports content recently: it has an 11 -year rights agreement for the NBA and the WNBA, after the successful live broadcast of the playoff of the National Soccer League of Football of the Kansas City (NFL) bosses last year and its continuous control of the Premier League.
“Sports has been a very key PEACOCK driver,” said the president of Comcast (the Nbcuniversal parent company), Mike Cavanagh, during a profit call in April. However, it seems that compensation has been to raise the price of Peacock to balance the growing costs of sports transmission rights; After all, these are not cheap.
How to avoid real turkey price increase
Since sports have become a great approach between all the best transmission services: Apple TV+ is a favorite for the rights of the F1, Prime Video is the exclusive home of Thursday Night Football, and Netflix has its WWE agreement and live boxing transmissions, to name a few, Peacock’s Push in to the Same Space will only grow, since it seems to be able People in various sports.
Peacock has one of the smallest libraries at the request compared to its rivals, so Live Sports has played a key role to help increase interest outside NBC programming as Law and Order: Svu and Chicago firemore original peacocks as Poquer face and Twisted metal.
If you do not want to pay the full price for a streamer that specializes mainly on televisions and reality sports, the best way to avoid this is to look for the best transmission offers. Peacock also tends to offer discounts more regular than its competitors, which makes it more likely to find savings.
The best time to find a reduced real turkey subscription is to wait until the Black Friday and Cyber Monday transmission agreements begin to appear in the middle or late November. Last year, it offered a 75% discount on an annual plan and I would not be surprised if we saw something similar this year.
If you need a real turkey subscription in the next three months, the cheapest way to obtain one is to register in one of its annual plans, which offers savings of approximately 17% instead of paying in monthly installments. Alternatively, there is still a way to obtain a free peacock test to test the service.
