Peacock is raising its prices by $3
A subscription to Peacock is about to cost more. NBCUniversal announced on Thursday that it's raising the price of its ad-supported Peacock Premium from $7.99 to $10.99 per month, while its ad-free Premium Plus plan will go from $13.99 per month to $16.99 per month. News of the price hike was first reported by Vulture. For new customers, the price increase will go into effect on July 23rd. Existing subscribers will see the hike on or after August 22nd, depending on when their next bill is. Peacock's yearly plans will see similar increases, with Peacock Premium now priced at $109.99 per year (up from $79.99) and Premium Plus costing $169.99 (up from $139.99). Peacock raised its prices by $2 in the lead-up to the 2024 Summer Olympics, an event it will continue to stream for at least another decade. NBCUniversal has filled out Peacock with a growing slate of original content, which includes shows like Poker Face, Love Island, and Dr. Death. It will also air NBA games later this year. Along with the price increase, NBCUniversal also announced that it's going to test a new ad-supported Peacock 'Select' tier for $7.99 per month ($79.99 / year). The plan will offer access to content from NBC and Bravo, as well as some other titles.

Just when you thought streaming couldn't get pricier, this one proves you wrong
Peacock is doing it again. Just like clockwork, yep, for the third year in a row, the NBCUniversal-owned streaming service is hiking prices. It started with a small bump in 2023, another round in 2024 and now, surprise surprise, we are getting hit with yet another increase. According to a new report, if you are on the ad-supported Peacock Premium, get ready to pay $10.99/month instead of $7.99. And if you are on the Premium Plus plan (the one without ads), your new bill is going to be $16.99/month, up from $13.99. That is a $3 jump on both plans. New subscribers will see the updated prices starting July 23, while existing ones will be hit with the higher fees on or after August 22, depending on their billing cycle. Annual plans aren't safe either. Premium is going from $79.99 to $109.99 per year and Premium Plus from $139.99 to $169.99. And if all of this sounds too pricey, NBCUniversal says it is testing a new $7.99 "Select" tier – still ad-supported – that'll give you access to NBC, Bravo and a few other titles. Once this kicks in, Peacock's ad-supported tier will actually be more expensive than similar plans from Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Paramount+. And for that kind of money, Peacock really needs to prove it's worth the cost. Now, of course, whether or not it is worth it comes down to personal taste. I don't really find much value in what Peacock offers – too many reality shows for my liking – but hey, they are clearly doing something right. The recent season of Love Island USA did big numbers and Love Island: Beyond the Villa is already off to a strong start, too. Right now, Peacock offers over five thousand movies and shows. | Image credit – NBCUniversal To be fair, Peacock has been steadily growing its library. There is original stuff like Poker Face, Dr. Death, and yes, Love Island. Later this year, it's also getting into sports big time – we are talking NBA games, Sunday Night Football, WNBA, the Premier League, Big Ten, and even the FIFA World Cup in Spanish. NBC also scored the rights to air Super Bowl LX, the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend and the Winter Olympics in 2026. NBCU claims Peacock will stream more live sports in 2026 than all its rivals combined – including Netflix, Prime Video and Apple TV. And that might explain the price bump, but whether users will stick around for it? That's the big question. Right now, Peacock says it has 41 million paid subscribers, up from 36 million at the end of 2024. So clearly, something's working – but the real test will be whether people stick around once the new prices kick in.

Peacock announces its steepest price hike in its short history
TL;DR Peacock is raising the prices of its Premium and Premium Plus plans. The Premium tier will go up to $11, while Premium Plus will cost $17. The price hike will go into effect on July 23 for new subscribers and August 22 for existing members. Another day, another subscription service raises its prices. The streaming platform Peacock will soon raise its subscription rates for both new and existing customers. According to Bloomberg, Comcast Corp has announced that it will hike the cost of its Peacock plans. The ad-supported Premium tier will go up to $11 per month, while the Premium Plus tier will cost $17 per month. Currently, the service that streams NBC shows, movies, and sports sells its Premium tier for $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year. Meanwhile, the Premium Plus plan goes for $13.99 per month and $139.99 per year. As a result of the hike, you'll be paying an extra $3 per month for both the ad-supported and ad-free options. This will be the third time in its five-year history that Peacock has raised prices. However, this increase is particularly notable as it will be the biggest price bump the platform has seen. It also now makes Peacock more expensive than HBO Max and Hulu. The increase hasn't gone into effect yet, so you can still sign up for the old prices. However, those rates will be adjusted on July 23 for new subscribers. You'll have a little more time to enjoy the old prices if you're a current subscriber. Existing members are expected to see the new prices on August 22. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .
