Peacock plans to increase the price of its two main subscription levels at the end of the week (July 23), and it sends subscribers.

It is understandable when the price increase marks the third increase since the arrival of Peacock. Indeed, the service increased its prices twice in the space of 12 months in the middle of the Paris Olympic Games in 2024.
This time, Peacock’s “Premium” plan (with advertising) goes from $ 7.99 to $ 10.99 per month, or $ 109.99 per year. Meanwhile, its “Premium Plumi” plan (limited ads) will drop from $ 13.99 to $ 16.99 per month, or $ 169.99 per year.
The new price comes into force this Wednesday for new customers. However, if you are an existing subscriber – and you have not already canceled – you will be billed the new higher prices from August 23, according to your next invoicing date.

The last increase in PEACOCK prices means that it is officially more expensive than the equivalent levels supported by advertising and without advertising of Netflix, Disney +, HBO Max and Paramount +. However, it should be noted that Peacock has spent more on the content recently, in particular for the broadcasting rights of expensive sporting events, which costs much more than television and movies.
Instead, Nbcuniversal recently acquired rights to many sporting content – he has an agreement on the rights of 11 years for the NBA and the WNBA – after the live success of the National Football League (NFL) of the Kansas City City last year and the current labor of the Premier League.
“Sport was a very key engine of Peacock,” said Comcast president (the parent company of Nbcuniversal), Mike Cavanagh, during a call for results in April. However, it seems that the compromise was to increase the price of Peacock to balance the increase in the costs of broadcasting rights for sports – after all, these are not cheap.
How to avoid the rise in peacock prices
Given that sports have become such a major focus among all the best streaming services – Apple TV + is a favorite in F1 rights, Prime Video is the exclusive house of football on Thursday evening, and Netflix has its WWE business and boxing boxing, not to name people’s interest in various sports.
Peacock has one of the smallest libraries of content on demand compared to its competitors, so Live Sports played a key role to help increase interest outside the NBC programming as Law and order: SVU And Chicago Firemore peacock originals such as Impassive face And Twisted metal.
If you do not want to pay the high price for a streamer that specializes mainly in reality TV and sports, the best way to avoid this is to look for the best streaming offers. Peacock tends to offer discounts more regularly than its competitors, which makes you more likely that you can find an economy.
The best time to find a reduced peacock subscription is to wait for the black friday and cyber worldly streaming offers to appear in mid-November. Last year, he 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 Peacock subscription over the next three months, the cheapest way to get one is to register for one of its annual plans, which offers a saving of around 17% rather than paying in monthly payments. Alternatively, there is still a way to get a free peacock trial to try the service.
