Do I need a subscription to install Peacock?

Installing an app and subscribing to its service are separate. Peacock may let you install the app for free while requiring an account or paid plan for some or all viewing.

Why can't I find Peacock on my Samsung TV?

Check the device's current official app store, software updates, exact model compatibility and region. Do not use unofficial app packages to bypass compatibility.

Is an activation website safe?

Use only an activation destination that is shown by the official app or provider. Avoid sites that ask for payment or passwords while pretending to be a support or activation service.

How to Set Up Peacock on Samsung TV

Original step-by-step guide • Updated for current app-store style setup

What you need: Samsung TV, a working internet connection, the device remote, and a Peacock account/subscription when required. You do not need unofficial software or an “activation service.”

Before you start

On Samsung Smart TVs, open the Home screen and use the Apps area to search for the service. Samsung model years can use different menu layouts, so follow the labels shown on your screen.
