Sling TV offers dozens of popular TV channels. Peacock provides lots of important live sports, great movies, and original series. But can you watch both services on the same platform? We’ll explain the differences in the services and how you can start watching both today.
Is There a Combination Option for Sling TV and Peacock?
No, there is not one subscription for both services. Sling TV and Peacock are entirely separate services. You can subscribe to one or the other or both, but there isn’t a single interface.
Peacock is not a channel. It is its own service.
What Is Peacock?
Peacock is a standalone video-on-demand streaming service that offers sports, movies, and TV shows. You’ll see original, exclusive content, alongside classic entertainment.
Live Sports on Peacock
You can use Peacock to watch English Premier League soccer, Big Ten basketball, figure skating, Notre Dame hockey, U.S. Soccer, cycling, Sunday Night Football, golf, horse racing, SuperMotocross, INDYCAR, WWE, rugby, and more.
In 2024, Peacock is the only place to see an NFL Wild Card game on January 13.
Movies on Peacock
Like most streaming services, Peacock has original titles you can’t see anywhere else. These include “Genie,” “Mr. Monk’s Last Case,” “Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain,” and “Five Nights at Freddy’s.”
You’ll also see theatrical hits like the Harry Potter series, “Fast X,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Jurassic World: Dominion,” “Ocean’s Eleven,” “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” “Happy Gilmore,” and “Shrek.” The movie library does shift from month to month.
TV Shows on Peacock
Peacock is home to many popular shows like “Yellowstone,” “Saturday Night Live,” “Dr. Death,” “The Office,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Suits,” “Parks and Recreation,” “Modern Family,” “House,” “New Girl,” “30 Rock,” “The Blacklist,” “Psych,” and “Scrubs.”
You will also see original shows like “Mrs. Davis,” “Poker Face,” “Bel-Air,” “The Continental,” and “Hart to Heart.”
Peacock Pricing
Peacock offers two tiers: ad-supported ($5.99 / month) or ad-free ($11.99 / month).
If you subscribe to the ad-free plan, you’ll get access to your live local NBC feed.
What is Sling TV?
Think of Sling TV as a replacement for your cable subscription. You’ll get live major cable networks, live sports, and local channels (the lineup depends where you live).
The most popular channels on Sling TV are A&E, AMC, BET, Bravo, Cartoon Network, CNN, Comedy Central, Discovery, Disney Channel, E!, ESPN, Food Network, Fox News, Freeform, FX, HGTV, History, Investigation Discovery, Lifetime, MSNBC, Syfy, TBS, TLC, TNT, Travel Channel, truTV, and USA Network.
However, Sling TV does not have Disney Junior, FXX, Hallmark Channel, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network, VH1, and WE tv.
The service includes a 50-hour DVR, which you can upgrade to 200 hours. The Sling DVR is smarter than its competitors, since you can choose to record individual episodes instead of an entire series. You can also lock recordings so they’re not accidentally erased.
Sling TV is one of our two favorite live TV streaming options, and the one we choose when we’re looking to save money. The Streamable recommends DIRECTV STREAM for a more robust channel lineup, a better picture, and the largest selection of regional sports networks.
Sling TV Pricing
Sling TV starts at $40 / month.
Peacock
Peacock is a subscription video streaming service from NBCUniversal that includes original shows, blockbuster movies, and classic television series. Peacock is home to “Yellowstone,” and “The Office,” as well as original hits like “Poker Face” and “Bel-Air.” You can also watch live sports including NFL, MLB, WWE, Olympics, Premier League, NASCAR, French Open, College Football and Basketball, and PGA Tour. Premium Plus subscribers can stream their local NBC feed in all 210 markets.
