How to get Peacock on my TV: A guide for smart TVs and non-smart TVs

Peacock is a streaming service for popular shows that are typically less commercially successful than the ones on Netflix or Prime. You can stream shows like America’s Got Talent, Suits, and mega-hit movies like The Fast and Furious 6.

If you’ve been asking yourself how to get Peacock on your TV, you’ve come to the right place. Streaming Peacock on your TV would give you an optimal experience (you can stream on up to three devices). We’ll show you how to stream on your smart and non-smart TV, and walk you through the process of signing up.
