Peacock raises all three subscription tiers by up to $3 per month
↗
Peacock increased prices across its Select, Premium, and Premium Plus tiers, with the largest percentage hike hitting Premium at roughly 18%.
For engineers and operators who expense streaming services or build integrations with Peacock's subscription tiers, the new pricing takes effect immediately for new subscribers and rolls out to existing ones starting September 17. The Apple TV bundle pricing appears unchanged for now, but that may not last given the broader industry trend of repeated hikes.

Select rises from $7.99 to $8.99 monthly, Premium from $10.99 to $12.99, and Premium Plus from $16.99 to $19.99.
New and returning subscribers see the higher prices starting August 18, while existing subscribers are charged more on their first billing date on or after September 17.
Apple TV bundles with Peacock Premium and Premium Plus still show unchanged prices of $14.99 and $19.99 respectively, though this could shift.
THE READ
What the cluster adds up to.
Peacock raised all three of its subscription tiers, with increases of up to $3 per month or $30 per year. The entry-level Select plan moved from $7.99 to $8.99 monthly, Premium went from $10.99 to $12.99, and Premium Plus climbed from $16.99 to $19.99. Annual pricing followed proportionally, with Select at $89.99, Premium at $129.99, and Premium Plus at $199.99 per year.
The largest percentage increase falls on Premium at roughly 18%. Over the past two years, Premium alone has risen by $5 per month, having sat at $7.99 two years ago. Premium Plus has moved from $13.99 to $19.99 in the same period. Peacock frames the changes as necessary to remain competitive and deliver content across genres.
Timing differs by subscriber status. New and returning subscribers face the new prices as of August 18. Existing subscribers see the increase on their first billing date on or after September 17, though current annual plans and active promotions retain their original pricing until they expire. This staggered rollout means the full revenue impact is delayed.
One notable exception is the Apple TV bundle. Apple still lists Peacock Premium bundled with Apple TV at $14.99 per month and Premium Plus at $19.99, both unchanged as of the article's publication. Given that Apple TV alone costs $12.99, the bundle effectively prices Peacock Premium at $2 and Premium Plus at $7 above the standalone Apple TV rate, which is now cheaper than subscribing to Peacock directly at $12.99 for Premium.
This story is carried by a single feed, so the details rest on one source. The broader context of repeated streaming price hikes is mentioned but not independently corroborated here. The Apple TV bundle pricing is described as appearing unchanged, with the caveat that this could change. Engineers building subscription-management or billing-integration tooling should treat the Peacock direct-pricing figures as confirmed and the bundle pricing as current but potentially volatile.
