Peacock’s current status: Peacock Premium no longer offers a standard free trial, but there are limited-time promotions and bundle offers that can effectively give you free access or significant discounts for a period. Direct answer
- As of late 2025, Peacock has discontinued its traditional free trial for new subscribers. If you search for “Peacock free trial,” you’ll primarily see headlines about past seven-day trials or promotions that have since ended [web results indicate discontinuation].
- There are alternative paths that may let you start or extend access at no or reduced cost, often tied to other services or retailer promotions (for example, bundles with Prime Video add-ons, Instacart collaborations, Walmart+ offers, or other partner promotions). These can provide a temporary period of free access or a discounted rate, but they are time-limited and may require meeting eligibility criteria or specific sign-up steps.
What to consider when looking for access
- Bundles with Prime Video: Peacock Premium Plus can be accessed as a Prime Video add-on, sometimes with a trial period. Check current Prime Video promotions to confirm availability and terms at sign-up.
- Retail and service bundles: Offers through Instacart, Walmart+, and similar programs have historically provided Peacock access or trials as part of a larger membership. Availability depends on location and expiration dates of promos.
- Promotion windows: Even when promotions exist, they are typically time-limited and may require activation by a specific date (e.g., “through September 30” or “until December 31, 2025” in various reports). Always verify current terms at sign-up.
