Peacock Streaming Service Increasing Subscription Prices This Week
NBC Universal's Peacock streaming service is boosting the prices of its monthly and yearly streaming packages this week.
Peacock launched on April 15, 2020, and primarily contains content from the NBC Universal library, which includes NBC-TV programming and Universal Pictures releases (Wicked, Nosferatu, etc.) . In addition to library content, Peacock also produces original TV programming and movies, and features sports programming including the NFL's Sunday Night Football, NBA Basketball and the Olympics.
Currently, Peacock costs $7.99 per month or $79.99 per month for Peacock Premium, which includes ad-based programming or $13.99 per month or $139.99 per year for Peacock Premium Plus, which has ad-free programming.
Peacock recently announced, however, that on Wednesday, July 23, the ad-based tier, which is known as Peacock Premium, will be increased to $10.99 per month to $109.99 per year, while ad-free programming on the Peacock Premium Plus tier will increase to $16.99 per month to $169.99 per year.
Depending on when they are billed, some current Peacock subscribers may not see the subscription bill until as late as Aug. 22.
With the price increases, Peacock's ad-based and ad-free tiers will be more expensive than its main competitors — Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max and Paramount+ — Variety reported.

The Upcoming Peacock Price Increase Is The Third For The Streamer In 5 years
When Peacock launched in 2020, the NBC Universal streaming service cost $4.99 per month for the ad-based Peacock Premium tier and $9.99 per month for Peacock Premium Plus.
The streaming service maintained the pricing until July 18, 2023, when Peacock increased its monthly subscription pricing to $5.99 monthly and $59.99 yearly for Peacock Premium and $11.99 monthly and $119.99 yearly for Peacock Premium Plus. Then, in July of 2024, Peacock hiked its prices again to $7.99 per month or $79.99 per month for Peacock Premium and $13.99 per month or $139.99 for Peacock Premium Plus.
With the new price increases, Peacock will also be offering a cheaper alternative with its Peacock Select tier, which will cost $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year. Per Variety, the tier includes current seasons of NBC-TV and Bravo programming, as well as some library titles.
According to Variety, Peacock announced earlier in 2025 that the service has 41 million subscribers, which increased from 36 million subscribers in 2024.

Tottenham target Morgan Gibbs-White joins up with Nottingham Forest squad for pre-season tour
Tottenham target Morgan Gibbs-White has joined Nottingham Forest on their pre-season training camp in Portugal. The midfielder not travelled with the squad to southern Portugal on Monday due to what Forest said was a private matter that was not transfer-related. Gibbs-White's future remains uncertain, with Forest considering legal action over Tottenham's approach for him and Spurs still hopeful of a deal Forest, who say they never gave Spurs permission to speak to Gibbs-White, are looking at whether a confidentiality agreement in his £60million release clause has been breached. Gibbs-White played 45 minutes for Forest in their 0-0 draw with Monaco last weekend. He is said to be keen on a move to Spurs but his team-mate Ola Aina has said the 25-year-old has kept professional. 'He's keeping it professional; I don't know the ins and outs of that," Aina told Sky Sports last weekend. 'He was here today, playing, and he's training, keeping fit as normal.'At the end of the day, we're all professionals - we've got a job to do and that's what Morgan is doing right now. He's keeping it professional." Gibbs-White joined Forest in 2022 in a deal worth £42.5m. He has made 118 appearances for Forest, scoring 18 goals and providing 28 assists. Gibbs-white helped Nuno Espirito Santo's side finish seventh in the Premier League last season. Spurs are looking to further bolster their attacking options this summer following the £55m arrival of Mohammed Kudus, with Frank a long-term admirer of Gibbs-White.
