Peacock is the Streaming Home of the Paris Olympics: Join the Platform for Less Before the Prices Increase

The countdown to the 2024 Olympics in Paris is on, and we are only a couple of weeks away from the epic sporting event. Because Peacock is NBC’s streaming service, it will be the best way to watch the games this summer.

On July 18 — about a week ahead of the Olympic games — Peacock is increasing the price of its subscription service by $2 per month for new customers. Existing customers will notice this increase the next month, beginning on August 17. By signing up now and locking in an annual membership, customers can save $24 on the streaming platform for the year.

Peacock Premium usually costs $5.99 monthly or $59.99 annually, but on July 18 it will rise to $7.99 per month or $79.99 annually. It is Peacock’s ad-supported plan. The ad-free plan, Peacock Premium Plus, will be raised from $13.99 monthly or $119.99 annually to $15.99 monthly or $139.99 annually. Both plans grant access to a massive library of iconic shows and blockbuster movies, plus original series and live sports. You can also watch NBC hit series the day after they air on traditional TV.

Those wanting to get a better deal on streaming the Paris Olympics will want to lock in the lower annual price and future-proof their streaming bill before Peacock’s upcoming price hike.

How to get Peacock at a lower cost

To sign up for the Peacock while prices are still lower, just head to the streamer’s website and select the annual option. After creating an account using your email and personal details, you’ll check out. After 12 months, the service will automatically renew at the new, higher price, which will (at that time) be $79.99 per year or $139.99 per year depending on the tier you select. You can cancel any time before your year is up to avoid the price hike.

What can you stream on Peacock?

From Emmy-nominated series like Yellowstone, Poker Face and Mrs. Davis to all your favorite Bravo shows and the new season of Love Island USA, as well as WWE and Sunday Night Football when the NFL returns this fall, you can certainly broaden your streaming horizons with Peacock. 

The Paris Olympics kick off on Friday, July 26, and Peacock is set to be the streaming destination for watching all the sports without cable. There are also more tennis Grand Slams and Premier League soccer.

You can stream Peacock on your smart TV, laptop, phone, tablet and any other device that supports the Peacock app. Subscriptions let you create up to six user profiles, so members of your family can enjoy their own shows.
