Peacock’s new ad-free streaming channel on Prime Video is one I’ll be keeping my eye on for a great streaming deal jasmine.valentine@futurenet.com (Jasmine Valentine) | amznusa.com

• Prime Video customers can now access Peacock Premium Plus directly through their existing app
• The plan costs $16.99 per month or $169.99 per year
• Prime Video sometimes does great deals on its ‘channels’

As of August 28, 2025, Prime Video subscribers can now access Peacock Premium Plus directly through the app. It’s part of an expanded partnership with NBC Universal, and basically means we’re getting more ad-free streaming goodness. In fact, for many of us, it’s the ad-free streaming goodness we’re missing from Prime Video itself, but let’s not complain.

In its own words, the new add-on offers “thousands of hours of on-demand entertainment, news, and sports content.” Think TV shows including Poker Face, Yellowstone, and The Office‘s new spinoff, The Paper – all in one place alongside Prime Video’s movies and shows. Dreamy.

Currently, the cost of Peacock Premium Plus (whether a standalone subscription or included with Prime Video) is $16.99 per month or $169.99 per year. But given Prime Video often has some of the best streaming deals around on its channels, just like this new Peacock option will be, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a fantastic deal on this option in the near future.

Peacock ad-free streaming on Prime Video is worth keeping an eye on for bargain prices

I already need to sort out a full Peacock subscription ahead of new episodes of The Paper, and now I’m more likely to do so through my existing Prime Video account. Currently, the Amazon streamer has one of the best free trial windows out of its competitors (30 days), a huge variety of expanded add-ons ranging from MGM+ and Starz to Paramount+, and some of the best streaming deals on the market – and as recently as July, we say some great deals on this kinds of add-ons.

Thanks to the formerly separate Freevee app that’s now been fully integrated, there’s even more movies you can watch at no extra cost on Prime Vudeo (as long as you’re okay with a few short ad breaks). With limitless binge-worthy opportunities at rock bottom prices, ad-free streaming via Peacock is only the cherry on the cake – and I’d bet good money on plan prices coming down too.

This isn’t all Prime Video has planned for its NBC Universal merger, though. You’ll be able to get the Peacock app on all Fire TV devices, Xfinity X1 and Xumo customers will have seamless access to Prime Video, and more hit Universal Pictures Home Entertainment releases will be available to buy and/or rent through the streamer.

Head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios Mike Hopkins said in a statement, “At Amazon, we are always working to make customers’ lives better every day and these new agreements with Comcast NBCU are fantastic for millions of customers, who are looking for the fastest and easiest way to find all their entertainment and sports in one place.

“Adding Peacock to our growing list of subscriptions – while renewing our long-standing agreements for Fire TV, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, and Xfinity X1 – deepens an incredible working relationship with Comcast/NBCU, and we look forward to a future of mutual distribution that benefits our shared customers.”

Frankly, I’m all for it. If you need me, I’m never getting up from my couch.
