How to Get Peacock on Sony Smart TV
Last updated September 23, 2021
Peacock is a great on-demand and live TV platform that you should get on your devices considering it offers a lot of diverse content. Below we'll guide you through how to get Peacock on Sony Smart TV.
Peacock was launched in 2020 and comes with thousands of hours of content that includes classic NBC shows, Peacock originals, sports, news, and more - and soon, we'll also see movies from Universal, DreamWorks, Illumination, and Focus Films studios arriving four months after their cinematic debut.
If you are not a customer yet, you can subscribe to Peacock on their website. Create a free account by entering a user email and creating a password. NBCU's platform has an ad-supported Free tier to start with and a limited-commercials Premium plan for $4.99/month. The latter can be upgraded to Premium Plus for another $5/month to get ad-free content. Of course, you can go for the annual plans since those offer a better price. You can access the Premium tier for no extra cost if you are an Xfinity or Cox customer.
This is a geo-blocked service, though, so it can only be accessed within the US (there are ways to watch Peacock when you travel).

Peacock is supported on a wide variety of Android TV-enabled Smart TVs, such as Sony Bravia. Let's see how to get Peacock on Sony TVs:
