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."

The easiest way to link to an already existing Peacock account is as follows:


  1. Go to the "Your Subscription is Confirmed" email that you received from apple
  2. Scroll to the bottom and select "Set up your new bundle services"
  3. A new window will open and it will show you the Apple TV option and Peacock Option
  4. Select Peacock option and "Activate Account"
  5. You will then be linked to your previous Peacock Profile that likely shares the same email as your Apple ID
  6. In the "Plans & Upgrades" section, on your Peacock Account, you will see the new Apple & Peacock Bundle plan linked along with your canceled Peacock Subscription- as shown below.


I hope this helps!

I believe the main thing to do first is if you have an existing peacock account, cancel subscription first before signing up. If you have issues like I did with my existing email not linking with Apple, support may have to cancel your Apple subscription and have you resubscribe to peacock. That what we did and I sign in with my old peacock sign in and the billing action/account stated billing by Apple. everything works now, you may can cancel yourself through subscription and sign back up, I just know the other guy on the line did it so I would get my money back for previous purchase of $11.

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!
