This new price increase marks Peacock’s second time doing it in the past year. In August 2023, the cost for ad-supported Peacock climbed from $1 from $4.99 to $5.99, and the ad-free price soared from $2 to $11.99 monthly, Variety reported.
News of the price hike comes as Peacock prepares to stream the Paris Olympics this summer and will also stream an exclusive NFL game in Week 1 in São Paulo, Brazil, on Sept. 6.
