If you’re thinking about joining Peacock, a free trial is the best way to test out a streaming platform to see if it’s a good fit. However, Peacock no longer offers a free trial, but we found a clever workaround to watch for free.
You can get Peacock for free, if you sign up for Walmart+. The retailer’s rewards program offers access to Peacock at no extra cost, while Walmart+ also offers a 30-day free trial to try the service before you commit.
Shoppers can receive a free subscription to Peacock included with any Walmart+ subscription, the retail giant announced last September. A Walmart+ subscription is $98 for the annual plan (about $8.17 per month) after a 30-day free trial.
Afterward, Peacock Premium, which gives you access to tons of TV shows and movies with limited commercials, goes for $10.99 per month (or $109.99 per year). The ad-free Peacock Premium Plus plan has a small price bump as well to $16.99 per month ($169.99 per year).
After the free trial ends, your plan will automatically renew at the regular rate, but you can cancel anytime.
Peacock is the home to hit originals, like The Paper, Poker Face, Bel-Air, Ponies, Jackal, The ‘Burbs and others, as well as hot music programming, such as Kings From Queens: The Run DMC Story, Nas: Time Is Illmatic, Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap, It All Begins with a Song: The Story of the Nashville Songwriter, The Effect: Bad Bunny and more.
You can watch reality TV shows on Peacock, including Traitors, Love Island: Beyond The Villa, The Real Housewives of Rhode Island and The Voice: Battle of Champions, as well as an extensive library of classics, such as Saturday Night Live, The Office, Yellowstone, and Law & Order: SVU.
The streaming service has a large number of movies too, including Wicked: For Good, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Hamnet and more.
In addition to tens of thousands of TV episodes and tons of movies, exclusives from Bravo, USA Network, CNBC, SYFY and more are available, while Peacock has NBA on NBC, MLB, NFL, Premier League, FIFA World Cup and other must-watch live sports and live news via NBC News.
