Peacock, NBCUniversal's streaming service, has become one of the most important platforms for soccer fans in the United States. With exclusive Premier League rights and growing international soccer content, it is a must-have for millions of fans. Here is a complete breakdown of what Peacock offers for soccer in 2026.
Premier League: Every Match, Every Weekend
Peacock's biggest draw is its exclusive US rights to the English Premier League. Every single one of the 380 regular-season matches is streamed live on the platform. This includes:
- Saturday early kickoffs (7:30 AM ET) through late matches (12:30 PM ET)
- Sunday fixtures including the traditional 11:30 AM ET marquee slot
- Midweek matchdays on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
- Boxing Day and holiday fixtures
- Full on-demand replays available within an hour of the final whistle
Beyond the Premier League
Peacock also carries:
- FA Cup: Select rounds including the semifinal and final
- Carabao Cup: Later rounds and the final at Wembley
- World Cup 2026 (Spanish): As part of the Telemundo family, Peacock streams Spanish-language World Cup coverage
- Olympic soccer: Past and future Olympic tournament coverage
Pricing Plans
Peacock Premium - $7.99/month
This is the plan most soccer fans choose. It includes all live Premier League matches, on-demand replays, and access to Peacock's full entertainment library (movies, shows, originals). Limited ads appear on entertainment content, but live sports are uninterrupted.
Peacock Premium Plus - $13.99/month
Removes nearly all ads from entertainment content and adds the ability to download select titles for offline viewing. Live sports coverage is identical to the standard Premium plan. This tier is worth it only if you use Peacock heavily for movies and shows beyond soccer.
Annual Billing
Both plans offer annual billing at a discount: $79.99 per year for Premium and $139.99 per year for Premium Plus. The annual Premium plan works out to about $6.67 per month, making it one of the cheapest ways to watch top-flight soccer in the US.
Supported Devices
Peacock is broadly available across devices including iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets, Smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Vizio, Sony), Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, PlayStation, and Xbox. For setup tips, see how to watch soccer on Smart TV.
Streaming Quality
Peacock streams at up to 1080p at 60fps for live sports, which delivers smooth, broadcast-quality video. There is currently no 4K option for live sports on Peacock, which is a minor downside compared to Apple TV's MLS coverage.

Is Peacock Worth It for Soccer?
If you follow the Premier League, Peacock is essential. At $7.99 per month, it offers exceptional value: 380 live matches per season plus FA Cup and Carabao Cup coverage. The lack of 4K is a minor complaint, but the 1080p quality is very good. Add the entertainment library as a bonus and Peacock is one of the best streaming deals for soccer fans.
