Will there be a Peacock Black Friday deal in 2024?
What you can expect from Peacock over Black Friday
The Peacock Black Friday deal last year was one of the best streaming discounts offered, and so people who are looking to save money on a streaming service might be wondering if it could happen again in 2024?
Peacock is NBCUniversal's streaming service, and that means its library has a big mix of Universal movies and NBC-broadcast shows and sports. The streamer also gets its fair share of originals with 2024 bringing the likes of Apples Never Fall, Those About to Die and Fight Night.
While many retailers and companies offer discounts throughout November each year, Black Friday itself will be on Friday, November 29 this year.
Sports fans may have flocked to Peacock over the Olympics, but if you've not yet had an opportunity to test out the streaming service, perhaps a Black Friday deal in 2024 will give you the push you need to sign up.
Based on last year, we'll probably hear more about a Peacock Black Friday deal in mid-November, and we'll update this article then. But before then, we can use precedent in order to make some predictions about what we could see.

In the sales last year, a discount began the week prior to Black Friday which saw the cost of ad-enabled Peacock reduced from $5.99 to $1.99 per month for your first year of subscription.
In total you'd save $48 with this discount, and if you signed up last year, your discount will soon expire so a Black Friday deal on Peacock will arrive just at the right time.
Peacock hasn't confirmed whether it'll repeat its discount in 2024, or offer another one. But we'll update this article if and when that changes.
