Is Peacock Still Free with Xfinity Flex in 2025? Here's the Current Deal

For a long time, one of the best perks for Xfinity customers was receiving a complimentary subscription to Peacock Premium. This deal gave millions of people free access to a huge library of movies, TV shows, and live sports. However, this popular promotion has undergone significant changes. This guide will explain the current situation for Xfinity Flex, Xfinity Internet, and Xfinity TV customers.

The Short Answer

No. As of 2025, Peacock Premium is NOT automatically included for free with Xfinity Flex or for most Xfinity Internet customers. The broad, open-ended promotion ended in mid-2023. The complimentary subscription is now a targeted perk for customers with specific high-tier services like NOW TV or Gigabit-speed internet plans .

The Original Deal: A Partnership Between Comcast and NBCUniversal

The original promotion was born from the fact that both Xfinity (Comcast) and Peacock (NBCUniversal) are owned by the same parent company, Comcast. To rapidly grow Peacock's subscriber base at launch, Comcast offered the Peacock Premium tier (the plan with limited ads) for free to its vast pool of Xfinity customers. This was a major value-add for customers and a huge marketing push for Peacock.

The Big Change in 2023

In mid-2023, this broad free offer came to an end. Xfinity announced that Peacock Premium would no longer be included for free for all Xfinity internet and most TV customers. This change caused a lot of confusion, much of which still persists today.

The Current Situation for Xfinity Flex and Internet-Only Customers

As of early 2025, Peacock Premium is NO LONGER included for free with Xfinity Flex or for most Xfinity Internet-only customers.

When the original deal ended, Flex and internet-only customers lost their complimentary access. To continue watching Peacock Premium, they must now pay the standard rate. The Peacock app is still available on the Xfinity Flex streaming box, but it requires a direct-to-consumer paid subscription.

The Exception: The Deal for NOW TV and Gigabit+ Customers

While the broad deal is over, Xfinity (Comcast) has continued to use Peacock as a value-add for its higher-tier services.

NOW TV Customers: If you subscribe to Xfinity's "NOW TV" streaming package, a subscription to Peacock Premium is included as part of that package.
Gigabit Internet Customers: In many regions, Xfinity customers who subscribe to their premium "Gigabit" or "Gigabit Plus" internet plans (typically 1,000 Mbps or faster) are eligible to receive a complimentary Peacock Premium subscription for a limited time, often for two years.
Xfinity TV Customers with X1: While not related to Flex, it's worth noting that traditional Xfinity TV customers with an X1 box who subscribe to specific high-tier TV packages may also have Peacock Premium included.

How to Check if You Are Eligible for a Peacock Offer

The offers can be regional and change over time, so the best way to know for sure is to check your eligibility directly.

Go to the Xfinity Assistant on the Xfinity website or in the Xfinity app.
Type " Peacock " into the chat.
The automated assistant will check your account and inform you of any Peacock offers you are currently eligible for.
You can also check the "Your plan" section of your Xfinity account online to see if Peacock Premium is listed as one of your benefits.

Additionally, Xfinity sometimes offers discounted rates for Peacock. For example, you might be offered Peacock Premium for a reduced price of $2.99/month for 12 months, billed through your Xfinity account.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Peacock's free tier and Peacock Premium?

Peacock's free tier is available to everyone and has a very limited library of content with ads. Peacock Premium (typically $5.99/month) unlocks the full library of movies, TV shows (including current NBC/Bravo shows), and live sports like the Premier League, all with limited ads. There is also a Peacock Premium Plus tier that removes most ads.

Can I get this deal if I'm an existing Xfinity customer?

Yes. The current offers are not just for new customers. If you are an existing customer and you upgrade your service to a qualifying plan (like NOW TV or a Gigabit internet tier), you will become eligible for the Peacock promotion.

What happens when my promotional period ends?

If your free Peacock offer is for a limited time (e.g., two years with a Gigabit plan), you will be notified before it ends. At that point, you will be automatically rolled over to a paid subscription, billed through your Xfinity account, unless you cancel.

Conclusion: Your Options as an Xfinity Flex Customer

To put it simply: the days of Peacock Premium being a standard, free perk for all Xfinity Flex and internet customers are over. As of 2025, the complimentary subscription is primarily reserved as a promotional tool for higher-priced services.

If you are an Xfinity Flex user who enjoyed the free service, you now have three clear options:

Pay for a Peacock Premium subscription directly through the app.
Upgrade your Xfinity service to a plan that includes Peacock, such as NOW TV or a Gigabit internet tier.
Enjoy Peacock's more limited, ad-supported free tier without paying anything.

While it's no longer a universal freebie, the partnership between Xfinity and Peacock continues to provide value, albeit in a more limited and strategic way.
