How to access NEW Peacock Apple TV subscription

I am an Apple One Premier subscriber. Today, October 20, 2025, there is a new bundle to get Peacock Premium Plus for $11 via Apple. I signed up. But it is NOT possible to use this service. I am paying for nothing. I happened to already have a Peacock account using the SAME email as my Apple account. So creating a new account via Peacock is not an option. It will just recognize my other Peacock account that has no communication at all via Apple. So how do I access what I am paying for? Apple and Peacock support both have no options for me. They both basically told me, "Oh well."

yeah..I literally unsubscribed and resubscribed within my iCloud subscriptions settings within like 1 minute. I was in the same spot as you…when I unsubscribed it didn’t actually expire for another 20 days or something. It all worked fine to resubscribe even while it was still “active” after cancelling. I think it was simply the process of resubscribing that must of caused some backend process to connect the accounts.

Sorry it didn’t work when I first signed up and didn’t have the app on my phone, once I clicked the peacock tab in my iTunes account it took me to the app and downloaded it and signed in with my peacock account then it worked, logged in online as well, and went to account settings at it shows it as being setup with the Apple TV bundle both the app on my phone and online

Guys! Okay I got it to work. What we did was contacted Peacock to cancel our annual basic Peacock subscription immediately. We had already cancelled our subscription through Apple to Peacock (valid until Nov 30th). We then unconnected Peacock from connected apps in our Apple TV app, and deleted the Peacock app. We resubscribed to the Apple One Peacock deal for $11/month and then went to the Apple TV app. We went to the Peacock channel section near the bottom and selected a TV show. It brought up that we needed the Peacock app, so we then redownloaded it. It automatically opened it and when we logged in with our peacock details, it then had the apple subscription! We never got the set up your bundle link in our email by the way. I hope this helps everyone!

Out of the blue right now after almost a week, I got an email from Peacock "Welcoming" me back and it is now linked to Apple Billing. So something must have happened on the backend.
