Ahead of the 2024/25 Premier League, NBC’s paid subscription service Peacock is raising its price. This is the second summer in a row Peacock is going up in monthly subscription cost. For the 2023/24 season, the service cost $5.99. That allowed it to be cheaper than the likes of ESPN+, and it would be the same price as Paramount+. However, a major bump in cost in the summer of 2024 has major implications on Premier League viewership, which heavily runs through Peacock.
Starting on July 18, Peacock will go up in price by $2. That applies to both the Peacock Premium plan and the Peacock Premium Plus option. Therefore, starting in July, Peacock will cost $7.99 per month. Meanwhile the option that goes ad-free and allows you to download content becomes $13.99 per month. Price hikes are common in the streaming world, but the jump by $2 is a significant difference for those who subscribe.
This also affects the annual option. Having the ability to pay $60 for a full year of Peacock was a great deal. That is particularly true for Premier League fans who would watch at least four games every weekend exclusively on the service. Now, though, the Peacock Premium annual option goes from $60 to $80. The Peacock Premium Plus annual plan is rising from $120 to $140.
As stated, the price changes start on July 18, but that applies to new subscribers for Peacock. Existing Peacock users will see their price go up on Aug. 17. That coincides with the conclusion of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, which have much of their coverage available for American audiences on Peacock.
