In addition to Peacock's steep discount on its Premium plan, students can also save even more on Peacock. Get Peacock Premium for $1.99 per month for 12 months and watch the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Detroit Lions game on Sunday, Jan. 21 at 3:00 p.m. ET (12:00 p.m. PT), plus all the terrific NBC and Bravo comedies, sports and reality shows now streaming on Peacock.
You'll need an annual student verification to take advantage of this A+ student discount.
How much you save with a student Peacock plan
At $1.99 a month, the student Peacock plan offers considerable savings over the course of the year. Those paying for the student plan get access to Peacock’s Premium subscription, which typically costs $5.99 a month.
For reference, Peacocktv.com/tv only offers a student discount with its Premium plan. There is currently no option for students to save on the cost of the ad-free Premium Plus tier.
How the student Peacock plan works
Considering the big savings on offer with the student Peacock plan, the streaming service does require students to confirm their eligibility.
Similar to many other streaming services, Peacock makes use of a company called SheerID to verify student status. This process involves being redirected to the SheerID website and entering some personal information, including your full name, date of birth, name of school, and an email address.
Once verified, the user will then receive a promo code by email that they can then use to sign up to the Premium plan at a discounted rate.
If a new subscriber, the student will need to sign up to Peacock normally and then add the promo code in the Have a promo code? field during checkout.
If an existing subscriber, the student can use the promo code by heading to the Plans Payments page of the Account section and entering the code in the box next to Have a promotional code?.
Here’s a summary of those instructions:
