Peacock World Cup Plans & Subscription Costs

Peacock’s premium interface houses every single match under one digital roof, meaning you won’t have to hop between separate apps to catch different groups. NBCUniversal structures its platform into three distinct tiers, but soccer fans need to pay close attention to the fine print before signing up:

⚠️ PRO TIP: Avoid the "Select" Trap

Peacock recently introduced a budget-friendly Peacock Select tier ($7.99/mo). While appealing, this plan strictly excludes all live sports and tournament coverage. To watch the 2026 World Cup, your baseline entry tier must be Peacock Premium ($10.99/mo).

Current Peacock Deals, Offers & Free Trials

While Peacock no longer offers a permanent standalone free trial for new users, there are several verified streaming promotions and retail partnerships that allow you to slash the cost of your World Cup subscription:

• The Apple TV+ Streaming Bundle: If you want to bundle your entertainment, you can subscribe to the official Apple TV+ and Peacock Premium bundle for just $14.99/month. This delivers a massive 33% monthly discount compared to purchasing the two services individually.
• Instacart Plus Free Inclusion: Active subscribers to Instacart Plus ($9.99/mo or $99/yr) automatically receive a Peacock Premium subscription completely free as a core membership benefit. If you already use this delivery service, simply link your accounts via the Instacart settings menu to unlock the World Cup.
• Walmart Plus Choice Perk: Walmart+ members ($12.95/mo) receive a rolling digital streaming perk. Members can choose to activate either Peacock Premium or Paramount+ Essential, with the ability to rotate their selection every 90 days—perfect for toggling to Peacock right before the June 11 tournament opener.
• The "Cancellation" Retention Offer: A widely utilized community secret for annual subscribers: users who navigate to their account settings and click "Cancel Plan" right before their renewal window are frequently met with a localized automated retention offer, often dropping the price of a full consecutive year of Peacock Premium down to a heavily discounted $39.99/year.
