Starting in early 2027, YouTube Premium subscribers in the US will receive Peacock Premium at no additional charge. This collaboration with NBCUniversal adds significant value, as Peacock Premium typically costs $11 per month. Subscribers will also have the option to upgrade to the ad-free Peacock Premium Plus tier.

This integration is part of an expanded partnership between YouTube and NBCUniversal. While the bundle rolls out in 2027, YouTube users can sign up for Peacock Premium as an add-on through YouTube Primetime Channels starting this summer. Peacock Premium Plus has been available as an add-on since last month.

Beyond this US offering, YouTube and NBCUniversal are developing bundles for other markets that will include Universal+ and Hayu. This news follows Peacock's recent achievement of its first-ever quarterly profit. Additionally, some live sports events will be available on the NBC Sports YouTube channel.
