Peacock Premium Plus Joins Peacock Prime Video Channels
Amazon and NBCUniversal have struck a fresh deal: Peacock is officially joining Prime Video Channels, with Peacock Premium Plus, now available as a subscription add-on for $16.99/month or $169.99/year.
That means Prime subscribers can sign up for Peacock directly through Amazon, paying via their Amazon account without juggling multiple subscriptions or logins.

According to TVTechnology, the agreement also keeps the Peacock app available on Fire TV devices, while Universal Pictures movies remain purchasable on Prime Video.

What This Means for Streamers
For streamers, this deal brings three major benefits:
- Unified billing and access – manage Peacock inside Prime, no separate login required.
- Expanded sports coverage – Peacock carries live events like Sunday Night Football, Premier League soccer, and Olympic coverage (Reuters).
- Content discovery – Peacock joins Prime’s roster of add-on channels (including Max, Starz, and Apple TV+), making it easier for viewers to browse and find shows in one interface.
As TechRadar notes, Amazon continues to position Prime as a “super app” for streaming.
Aggregation vs. Bundling
This announcement comes just days after the launch of the new ESPN + FOX streaming bundle. Both moves point toward the same trend: consolidation.
- With ESPN and FOX, two broadcasters teamed up directly to offer a cheaper combined subscription.
- With Peacock on Prime, Amazon acts as the aggregator hub, letting you pick and mix services inside a single ecosystem.
Both strategies signal that streaming is evolving beyond standalone apps — convenience and consolidation are becoming the real battleground.

While the ESPN + FOX bundle shows broadcasters teaming up, Amazon’s strategy highlights the power of aggregation. Both reinforce the same message: in 2025, streaming isn’t just about exclusive shows — it’s about who makes it easiest to watch everything in one place.
