Starting at $8 a month, a Peacock subscription was the easiest way to stream all of the 2024 Olympics, but that’s not all it’s good for! On top of coverage of every Olympic sport in 2024, you can catch NFL games, college football, Premier League, and access thousands of hours of shows and movies, including beloved sitcoms such as Parks and Recreation and The Office. For $14 monthly you can upgrade to an ad-free subscription which includes live access to your local NBC affiliate (not just during designated sports and events) and the ability to download select titles to watch offline.
Peacock may be the most comprehensive place to watch the Olympics, but it comes with a monthly subscription fee.
