How to Cancel Peacock Premium (2026 Guide) — NBC's Streaming Tax Is $13.99/Month Now

Updated 2026-02-28 · 5 min read

Peacock Premium Plus costs $13.99/month — that's $167.88/year for what was supposed to be NBC's free streaming service. Remember when Peacock launched with a free tier that actually had content? Now the free tier is basically a commercial for the paid tiers, and the "Premium" tier still has ads unless you pay $13.99. Here's how to cancel.

📺 The Price Creep

Peacock launched at $4.99/month in 2020. It's now $7.99 with ads or $13.99 without. That's an 80% price increase in 4 years on the ad-free tier. Meanwhile, most of the good NBC content still airs on cable first.

⚠️ Subscribed Through a Third Party?

If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, Roku, or your cable provider (Comcast/Xfinity), you must cancel through that platform. Peacock's website will tell you if this applies.

Comcast/Xfinity Subscribers — Special Case

Xfinity Internet customers get Peacock Premium (with ads) free. If you're paying for Peacock separately AND you have Xfinity, you're double-paying. Check:

  1. Log into your Xfinity account
  2. Check if Peacock Premium is included in your bundle
  3. If yes, cancel your separate Peacock subscription immediately

The Rotation Strategy

Instead of keeping Peacock year-round, subscribe only when content you want is available:

Annual savings with rotation: $100+ per year vs staying subscribed.

Getting a Refund

Peacock's refund policy is strict — they generally don't issue refunds. However, if you just renewed and forgot to cancel, contact support within 48 hours. For Apple/Google subscriptions, request a refund directly through those platforms (higher success rate).

💡 Pro Tip

Set a calendar reminder 3 days before your renewal date. Peacock doesn't send renewal reminders, so you won't know you were charged until you see it on your bank statement.
