2026-27 NFL Games on Peacock: Full Schedule & Streaming Guide
NFL games on Peacock are back for the 2026-27 season with the largest 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 includes every Sunday Night Football matchup, the Wednesday season opener, a Thanksgiving night game, the Mexico City game, and one Saturday night game you cannot watch anywhere else.
Two things changed since last season. Peacock raised prices on August 18, 2026, so Premium now costs $12.99 a month. And Super Bowl LXI moves to ABC and ESPN in February 2027, so the title game is not on Peacock.
Here is the full schedule, updated plan pricing, discounts, supported devices, and the fastest 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 late season game NBC does not televise nationally.
No cable login is needed. A Peacock Premium subscription is enough, and the stream matches the NBC broadcast in real time.
A Spanish language Telemundo Deportes stream of every Sunday Night Football game is also available on Peacock.

The Peacock Exclusive Game on January 2, 2027
One game all season streams only on Peacock. The Week 17 Peacock NFL Exclusive kicks off Saturday, January 2, 2027 at 8:00 PM ET. It is not on national TV, though NBC stations in the two team markets carry it locally.
It is Peacock’s fifth exclusive NFL game and the fourth straight season with one in the regular season, after Bills at Chargers in 2023, Eagles against Packers in São Paulo in 2024, and Ravens at Packers on December 27, 2025.
NBC and Peacock also carry a second Week 17 Saturday game at 4:30 PM ET the same day. The NFL has flagged four Week 17 matchups for the Saturday slots: Commanders at Jaguars, Chiefs at Chargers, Broncos at Patriots and Rams at Buccaneers. Two of them move to Saturday, and the picks are announced late in the season once playoff races take shape.
Peacock NFL Playoff Games and Super Bowl LXI
Peacock streams three postseason games in January 2027:
- Two Wild Card games over the weekend of January 16 to 18, including a Sunday primetime game on January 17
- One Divisional Round game on January 23 or 24
Matchups and kickoff times are set after the regular season ends on January 10. The remaining Wild Card games go to CBS, Fox, Prime Video and ESPN with ABC. Both Conference Championships on January 31 are on CBS and Fox.
Super Bowl LXI on Sunday, February 14, 2027 at SoFi Stadium airs on ABC and ESPN under the four network rotation. NBC and Peacock had Super Bowl LX in February 2026 and get the game next in February 2030. Peacock’s 2026-27 postseason coverage ends after the Divisional Round.
Peacock Plans and Pricing for NFL Fans
Peacock raised prices on August 18, 2026 for new subscribers. Existing subscribers pay the new rate from their first billing date on or after September 17, 2026. Annual and promotional subscribers keep their current price until the term ends.
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly | NFL Games? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peacock Select | $8.99 | $89.99 | No live sports |
| Peacock Premium | $12.99 | $129.99 | Yes, every game |
| Peacock Premium Plus | $19.99 | $199.99 | Yes, every game |
Premium is the cheapest way to stream football. Every NFL game on Peacock is included, from Sunday Night Football to the January 2 exclusive to the playoff games. Nothing sits behind the higher tier.
Premium Plus adds a 24/7 stream of your local NBC station, offline downloads, and far fewer ads, though ads remain in live sports. Pick it if you also want NBC’s linear feed.
Select at $8.99 excludes live sports entirely, so it will not get you a single NFL game. The yearly plans work out to 12 months for the price of 10.
