If you’re eager to catch The Traitors season four or the 2025-26 NBA season, there are little known ways to save big on Peacock — or even get it for free.
Starting off with younger audiences, the NBCUniversal streamer not only offers a year-long student discount, but it also extends the same 45 percent price drop to users ages 18 to 24, officially called the Peacock Young Adult Discount.
And while Peacock itself doesn’t offer a free trial, deal-savvy streamers can get free access through partner subscriptions, including Instacart+ and Walmart+, which both include Peacock Premium in their membership. Plus, since both Instacart+ and Walmart+ offer free trials — 14 days for Instacart+ and 30 days for Walmart+ — members can stream Peacock at no cost during the trial period.
At the back half of 2025, Peacock added a lower-priced Select tier for $7.99 per month, which includes current seasons of NBC and Bravo shows and select shows from the broader NBCUniversal library. This is in addition to the more popular ad-supported Premium tier for $10.99 monthly, and the ad-free Peacock Premium Plus package for $16.99 per month. For the best bang for your buck, opt for the annual plans ($79.99 to $169.99), which offer 12 months for the price of 10. Scroll down to learn more about each plan.
Best Peacock Deals: Apple TV and Peacock Bundle
On Oct. 20, 2025, the Apple TV and Peacock Bundle launched, meaning customers can now bundle the two services and save. Bundle options include Apple TV and Peacock Premium ($14.99 per month), and Apple TV and Peacock Premium Plus ($19.99 per month). Since Apple TV is currently $12.99 per month on its own, these bundles represent a discount of over 30 percent.
Best Peacock Student Discount Offer in 2026
Peacock’s student discount deal offers a full year of streaming for just $5.99 per month, getting you 45 percent off the regular subscription price. After 12 months, the plan auto-renews at the then-current annual rate.
Not a student? Peacock extends the same 45 percent price drop to users ages 18 to 24, officially called the Peacock Young Adult Discount.
Best Peacock Deals: Get Peacock Free With Instacart+, Walmart+
Get Peacock for Free Through Instacart
Want to get Peacock for free? If you’re looking to cut the cord and expand your binge-watching library while saving time on grocery shopping, Instacart is offering one of the best free deals on Peacock.
The ad-supported Peacock Premium plan (reg. $10.99 per month or $109.99 annually) is included for free with Instacart+ memberships, which offers unlimited free delivery on orders over $35, lower service fees, 5 percent credit back on eligible pickup orders and other perks for $9.99 per month or $99 per year with annual billing. Instacart says the service pays for itself if you order twice per month.
Instacart+ users get free access to Peacock’s ad-supported Premium plan for as long as their membership is in effect and the offer is available. The deal doesn’t apply to existing Peacock accounts, and you cannot use the offer to upgrade to Peacock’s Premium Plus, which has fewer ads.
Get Peacock with a Walmart+ Membership
Walmart+ members can now get Peacock included with their membership. Try it out with a free trial, then continue with $98 per year (just $8.17/month) or $12.95 per month for the monthly plan. Learn more about Walmart+’s benefits and streaming options here.

Save on a Peacock Subscription Through Mastercard
Mastercard users can also save on a Peacock subscription. Right now, eligible World or World Elite Mastercard holders can get a statement credit of $3 per month if they pay for Peacock Premium or Premium Plus with their card. The offer expires Dec. 2027.
Peacock Plans: Premium vs. Premium Plus
Both Peacock Premium and Premium Plus packages include access to over 80,000 hours of movies and TV show episodes, including brand-new and Oscar-winning films; next-day access to NBC and Bravo series such as Love Island, Vanderpump Rules and the entire Real Housewives franchise; and both new and past seasons of Peacock original series.
Peacock Premium also has over 50 channels and live sports, including MLB Sunday Leadoff, Premier League, Sunday Night Football and WWE. It was also the streaming home of the Women’s World Cup and the U.S. Gymnastics Championship.
Peacock’s Premium Plus tier includes all of the above, plus your local NBC channel live, no ads (except on select live TV shows) and the ability to download select titles to watch offline later.
