There couldn't have been a more exciting time for people who love streaming content on their smartphones, TVs, tablets or computers and users have a lot of options as they have a variety of streaming platforms to choose from including the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu and new players like Disney+ and AppleTV+. Now, there's a new streaming service that you can add to the list: NBC's Peacock.
How to watch NBC's Peacock for free?
NBCUniversal will soon launch a new streaming service called Peacock and you can get access to it without paying a single penny. The only downside is that it's ad-supported but watching a few ads shouldn't be a problem if you're getting it for free, right?
Also, there is an ad-free version so if you don't want to be interrupted by ads while binging on your favourite TV show, don't fret. Just pay an additional fee for the ad-free subscription.
