Over the next two weeks, NBC is set to air not only thousands of hours of the Olympics but also 2026’s highly anticipated Super Bowl.
Super Bowl LX takes place tonight, February 8th, featuring a match-up between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots for the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
For many, tuning in to watch the Super Bowl on NBC seems like the simplest option. But with the rise of cord-cutting and streaming platforms, figuring out how to access NBC live can be a challenge.
While there are several live TV streaming services that include NBC, the Peacock service—owned by NBC—will stream the Super Bowl to its subscribers without any extra fees beyond the basic monthly price.
If you’re curious about how to stream the Super Bowl on Peacock, keep reading for answers.
Start Time for the 2026 Super Bowl
The Super Bowl between the Seahawks and Patriots is scheduled for a 6:30 PM ET kick-off tonight.
Watching the 2026 Super Bowl on Peacock
Peacock is a viable option for those who have cut the cord but still want to catch the Super Bowl.
Peacock offers two subscription plans: Peacock Premium for $10.99 per month, and Peacock Premium Plus at $16.99 monthly. The main distinction? The Premium Plus plan doesn’t have ads—though, considering the Super Bowl’s iconic commercials, the cheaper ad-supported option might be a better fit.
A subscription to Peacock provides access to its full content library for at least a month, which includes the Winter Olympics until February 22nd and the NBA All-Star Game on February 15th. You can also catch buzz-worthy shows—like the Oscar-nominated “Bugonia” or “Traitor,” which is currently generating a lot of discussion.
Does Peacock Offer a Free Trial?
While Peacock does not have a free trial, those who have an Instacart+ membership can benefit as it includes Peacock Premium. Instacart+ itself offers a two-week free trial.
