What audio language options are available on Peacock?
Unfortunately, Peacock doesn’t have the same kind of audio accessibility as some other streamers do.
Peacock has a pretty intriguing content library, with shows and movies in essentially every genre, as well as live sports galore. The service is not available widely outside the United States — but does that mean it has fewer language options to listen to your favorite content in when you watch the service?
Our experts examined that question by taking a look at Peacock’s interface to see what kind of language overdub options the streamer provides. Check and see the results of our exploration for yourself below!

How to switch audio languages on Peacock
The easiest way to switch audio languages while watching Peacock is to start by playing the show or movie you want to watch. Once you’ve done this, pull up the playback controls and click the subtitles and audio options button on the streamer’s smart TV app and the web, this is found in the bottom-left corner of the screen, and on the service’s mobile app, it’s in the top-right corner.
Next to the audio option, pick the language you would like to use. Then, click outside the menu to resume playback in your chosen language.

What audio dub languages are available on Peacock?
In my exploration of Peacock’s interface, the only languages I found available were English, Spanish, and English with audio descriptions. This makes a certain amount of sense considering the streamer isn’t available internationally, but it’s still less than some other streaming services offer.
Are all languages available on all Peacock titles?
No, the availability of Spanish and English with audio descriptions varies from title to title on Peacock. The best way to see if your chosen movie or show has the language you want is to simply click on that title and find out.
Does Peacock offer different languages for live sports broadcasts?
Peacock does offer Spanish for some live sports options, and even offers some sports in Spanish that it doesn’t carry in English, such as FIFA World Cup matches. Again, however, the availability of different languages for live sports on Peacock will vary from event to event.
