Here's how you can get Peacock on your Roku device

Like it or not, Peacock is now the exclusive service for classic shows like Parks and Recreation, and NBCUniversal is trying to lock in even more subscribers with originals like Bupkis and everything Yellowstone. Is Peacock on Roku devices? Yes — read on for the details.

Is Peacock on Roku?

It certainly is. Peacock is US-centric, even excluding Canada, but it does at least operate in Austria, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Switzerland, and the UK. US availability includes “certain” territories, namely American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

How to get Peacock on Roku

As with any service you want to use on Roku, the answer is the Channel Store. The most direct method of getting the Peacock app is opening the Streaming Channels menu on your Roku homescreen and searching for it. Choose the service from results, then install.

You can also search for Peacock in the web version of the Channel Store, or the official Roku app for Android and iOS. Once you find the correct listing, you’ll see an Add channel button that adds the app to your Roku account. It may take time for downloads to trigger on your Roku devices automatically.

Once you launch the app on your Roku, you’ll be prompted to sign into an existing account or create a new one. Much of the content on Peacock is free and ad-supported, so you can create a basic account and start streaming right away.

If you want to access everything however, you’ll need to pay for a Premium or Premium Plus subscription. The former is $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year, while the latter is $11.99 per month or $119.99 per year. Plus removes (most) commercials, and is required for offline caching on mobile devices, as well as livestreaming your local NBC affiliate.

How to cancel Peacock on Roku
