Your Peacock Subscription Is About to Get More Expensive—Here’s How to Save Your Wallet
In a move that has consumer advocates sounding the alarm, Peacock has announced another price hike, this time jacking up its premium plan by $2 per month starting next billing cycle. For the average household, that’s an extra $24 a year—money that could buy a tank of gas or a week of groceries. But here’s the real kicker: existing subscribers will be hit too, as Peacock is quietly removing its ad-free tier for all but the highest-priced plan unless you act before April. To avoid the bite, lock in annual billing now—rates haven’t changed for yearly subscribers yet. And if you’re already feeling the pinch, consider downgrading to the ad-supported version, which stays at $5.99. The real wallet win? Blackout your auto-renewal before the deadline hits, because once the switch flips, customer service won’t budge on refunds. Don’t let this peacock peck at your budget—vote with your wallet now.
