Keeping up-to-date on what’s happening in your favorite sports can be difficult for fans who said goodbye to cable. Sure, local channels might have updates on regional teams, but sometimes they might miss out on the bigger picture of a sports league. On the other hand, cable-exclusive networks like NBC Sports can give you a complete idea about the current state of your favorite teams.
So, how can you stay current with your favorite teams and leagues without cable? Well, internet TV is there to help you out. Peacock is one of the best ways to catch NBC Sports in particular. After all, Peacock is a platform dedicated to NBC coverage.
To give you an idea of what to expect from Peacock, we’ll give you a shot-for-shot breakdown of how you can catch NBC Sports on the platform.
Does Peacock have a free trial?
Before biting the bullet on a Peacock subscription, you want a test drive first, right? Well, if you’ve looked at Peacock before, you already know it unfortunately doesn’t have any free trial options. Instead, Peacock has 2 different subscription tiers.
With a subscription, you’ll get access to the entire Peacock library, including over 80,000 and 50+ always-on channels. Additionally, you’ll get next-day access to the latest NBC shows. Finally, you’ll get full access to the platform's 3-screen simultaneous stream limit features.
