To watch a variety of college football and NFL games that will be streaming-only events on Peacock during the 2024 football season, you’ll need to sign up for NBC’s low-cost streaming platform. If you sign up for Peacock before tonight’s NFL First Friday Showdown, you can get four months of Peacock for just $20 instead of the usual $31.96 you’d pay per month. Do this before the Packers and kickoff tonight, as the deal expires Friday night.

• WATCH: Eagles vs. Packers and more football live on Peacock (Use the promo code “TGIF” to pay just $4.99 per month instead of the usual $7.99 per month you would pay per month without this deal.)

As a reminder, NBC and Peacock plan to air a fair number of NFL and college football games exclusively on Peacock throughout the year. You won’t be able to watch those games without Peacock. For example, the Oregon Ducks’ Week 2 game against the Boise State Broncos will only be available with Peacock Premium’s monthly or annual subscription. If you’re a fan of a Big Ten football team, or just need a way to watch every NFL game, Peacock is now a must-have streaming service.

How much does Peacock cost? Is there a free trial?

Unfortunately, there is currently no free trial available for Peacock. However, the cost of the service is very reasonable. Peacock Premium normally costs just $7.99 per month, or is even cheaper with the annual subscription of $79.99 per year. However, as an early season incentive for new and returning Peacock subscribers, you can use the special promo code “TGIF” at checkout when you sign up to get four months of Peacock for just $20 if you sign up by Saturday. If you pay monthly, you will end up paying $31.96 for four months at the usual rate. This is a great deal if you plan on using Peacock to watch college and NFL football throughout the season.

If you are a current student, it is even cheaper with the student discount for $1.99/month as long as you sign up for the annual plan. If you hate watching ads, you can also opt for the ad-free Premium Plus plan for $13.99 per month, which you can cancel at any time.

How do I watch Peacock on my TV? Is it a TV channel?

Peacock is not a TV channel and will not be available through regular cable or satellite TV providers. The Peacock app and streaming service is available on most smart TVs, video game consoles like the PS4, PS5, and XBOX, and streaming devices like the Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, and more. You can also watch on a phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. You can download the Peacock app from the App Store or for Google Android to watch, or check out Peacock’s extensive list of supported streaming devices if you’re unsure if your device is compatible.

What sports, TV shows, and movies does Peacock offer besides Big Ten college football?

Peacock offers a slate of regular live sports programming every week, like NFL Sunday Night Football, as well as Premier League games every weekend. It’s also the new home of WWE Networks, including events like Wrestlemania and more. Peacock also offers a ton of historically popular shows and movies to watch on demand. Not to mention some wildly popular Peacock originals like “Love Island” and movies that have just released in theaters. For example, Peacock recently added Ryan Gosling’s new comedy film “Fall Guy” shortly after it hit theaters, as well as the wildly popular Austin Butler biker flick “The Bikeriders,” and more.

Is Peacock worth the money?

The heart of the matter: Considering all the offerings we’ve outlined above, Peacock is one of the best streaming services available in 2024 in terms of value for money. For just $7.99/month, you get a ton of stuff to watch. But it also comes down to what you need from the streaming service. It has everything from live sports to new movies and top reality TV and dramas. If you’re on the fence, keep in mind that it’ll cost you less than $8 to sign up and you’ll have a whole month to watch it to decide if it’s worth the money or not. Either way, it’s a low-risk proposition to try out.
