Peacock Student Discount: Get Premium for $6.99 a Month for 12 Months
By American TV editorial team |
Peacock is selling Premium to college students for $6.99 a month for 12 months. That is about half the regular $12.99 monthly price, and it arrives just as Peacock's NBA Monday and Tuesday games are back for 2026-27.
The plan is the ad-supported Premium tier, so you get Sunday Night Football, Premier League, NBA games, NBC and Bravo shows and Peacock Originals. If you also want premium movie channels, our HBO Max student discount guide covers that deal, and our DIRECTV deals for students page covers live TV options.

- Enter your name, school email, college and date of birth for SheerID. You may be asked for proof of enrollment.

- Create or sign in to your Peacock account, add a card or PayPal, and apply the code.
If you already pay for Peacock, Peacock says you may need to cancel your current plan before the code will work.
What happens after 12 months
Reverification is required annually. Eligible students can renew at the then-current offer rate; the present $6.99 price is not guaranteed for another year. Otherwise, the plan renews monthly at the then-current retail price, currently $12.99 plus tax, until canceled.
Not a student? The young adult deal
Peacock also links an offer for eligible people ages 18–24. Check its young adult offer for the current price and verification terms.
Review the official student offer terms before redeeming your code.
Watching Peacock with DIRECTV
Peacock requires a separate subscription and app login. Peacock NBA Monday games are streaming exclusives; having NBC on DIRECTV does not unlock them. Tuesday NBC coverage varies by market, while Peacock streams both games. Check the listing for your matchup and confirm local NBC availability in your DIRECTV package.
