2026-27 NFL Games on Peacock: Full Schedule & Streaming Guide
NFL games on Peacock return for the 2026-27 season, and this is the biggest slate NBCUniversal has ever streamed. Peacock carries 26 live NFL broadcasts: the Hall of Fame Game, 22 regular season games, and three playoff games.
That covers every Sunday Night Football matchup, the Wednesday season opener, a Thanksgiving night game, the Mexico City game, and one Saturday night game that streams nowhere else.
One change matters most this year. Super Bowl LXI moves to ABC and ESPN in February 2027, so the title game is not on Peacock.
Here is the full schedule, current plan pricing, supported devices, and the quickest way to start streaming.
Can You Watch NFL Games on Peacock in 2026?
Yes. Peacock live streams every NFL game that airs on NBC, plus one game NBC does not televise nationally. No cable login is required. A Peacock Premium subscription is enough.
Peacock and NBC show the same feed at the same time, and every Sunday Night Football broadcast is also available en Español on Peacock through Telemundo Deportes.

The Peacock Exclusive Game on January 2, 2027
One game all season is streaming only. The Week 17 Peacock NFL Exclusive kicks off Saturday, January 2, 2027 at 8:00 PM ET. It is not on national television, though NBC stations in the two competing team markets carry it locally. This is Peacock’s fourth straight season with an exclusive NFL game.
NBCUniversal also picked up a second Week 17 Saturday game, the 4:30 PM ET NFL Holiday Special, which airs on both NBC and Peacock. Teams for both slots are set later in the season once playoff races take shape.
Peacock NFL Playoff Games in January 2027
Peacock streams three postseason games this year:
- Two Wild Card games over the weekend of January 16 to 18, 2027, including a Sunday primetime game on January 17
- One Divisional Round game on the weekend of January 23 and 24, 2027
Matchups and kickoff times are set once the regular season ends on January 10, 2027. The other Wild Card games go to CBS, Fox, Prime Video and ABC with ESPN. Both Conference Championships on January 31 are on CBS and Fox.
Is Super Bowl LXI on Peacock?
No. Super Bowl LXI is set for Sunday, February 14, 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and it airs on ABC and ESPN under the league’s four network rotation.
NBC and Peacock carried Super Bowl LX in February 2026. Their next turn is Super Bowl LXIV in February 2030. For the 2026-27 season, Peacock’s postseason coverage ends after the Divisional Round.
Peacock Plans and Pricing for NFL Fans
Peacock has three tiers, but only two carry live sports. Prices last changed in July 2025 and are unchanged for the 2026 season.
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly | NFL Games? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peacock Select | $7.99 | $79.99 | No live sports |
| Peacock Premium | $10.99 | $109.99 | Yes, all of them |
| Peacock Premium Plus | $16.99 | $169.99 | Yes, all of them |
Premium is the cheapest way to stream football. Every NFL game Peacock carries is included, from Sunday Night Football to the January 2 exclusive to the playoff games. No football sits behind the higher tier.
Premium Plus adds a 24/7 live stream of your local NBC station, downloads for offline viewing, and far fewer ads, though ads remain in live sports. It is the better pick if you also want NBC’s linear feed or Ryder Cup golf on Peacock.
Select at $7.99 looks tempting but excludes live sports and events entirely, so it will not get you a single NFL game. Regional sports networks are a separate paid add-on on any tier.

Peacock Free Trial and Deals in 2026
