How to Cancel Peacock (2026) — NBC's Streaming Service
Updated February 2026 · 5 min read
⚠️ Peacock killed its free tier — there's no more free Peacock. The cheapest plan is $7.99/month with ads ($96/year). Premium Plus (no ads) is $13.99/month ($168/year).
Peacock launched as NBC's "free" streaming service. Then it wasn't free. Then it raised prices twice. Most people subscribed for one specific thing — Sunday Night Football, the Olympics, or a single show like Yellowstone — and forgot to cancel after. Here's how to fix that.
💰 Pricing
- Peacock Premium (with ads): $7.99/month ($96/year) or $79.99/year
- Peacock Premium Plus (no ads): $13.99/month ($168/year) or $139.99/year
- Free tier: Eliminated in 2024

🏈 The Sports Subscription Trap
Many people subscribed for a specific sporting event and forgot to cancel:
- Sunday Night Football: NFL season runs Sept-Feb — cancel in February
- Olympics: Subscribe for the 2-3 weeks of events, cancel immediately after
- Premier League: Season runs Aug-May — subscribe seasonally
- Notre Dame football: Cancel after the season ends
- Set a calendar reminder the day after your event ends to cancel
🧮 Do You Actually Watch Enough?
Peacock Premium: $7.99/month for a library that's 80% available elsewhere
The Office, Parks & Rec, 30 Rock: Peacock exclusives — but have you rewatched them recently?
