Peacock’s Premium Plus tier, priced at $16.99/month, is now available as a subscription through YouTube Primetime Channels in the U.S. It’s the priciest Peacock package, which includes limited ad breaks. The cheaper Peacock Premium plan with ads ($10.99/month) is not available through YouTube.

The addition of Peacock Premium Plus to YouTube Primetime Channels is part of a larger multiyear agreement between NBCUniversal and Google announced in the fall of 2025. That pact included YouTube TV’s continued carriage of NBC broadcast stations and NBCU’s suite of cable networks, plus the relaunched NBC Sports Network (NBCSN).

First launched in 2020, Peacock features live sports like Sunday Night Football, NBA, MLB, Big Ten and Notre Dame College Football, Premier League and WNBA, and more; original shows such as “Love Island USA,” “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island,” “Law & Order: SVU,” “The Traitors,” “All Her Fault” and “The Office,” as well as Universal movies.

Upcoming Peacock series include “The Five Star Weekend,” starring Jennifer Garner alongside Regina Hall, Chloë Sevigny, D’Arcy Carden and Gemma Chan; “Dig,” from Amy Poehler and Mike Schur, with Poehler also starring; and “Crystal Lake,” the “Friday the 13th” prequel starring Linda Cardellini.
