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!

Why is it not possible?

What happens when you try exactly?


If you added Peacock+ through Apple One, the service should be available through the Peacock channel in the Apple TV App.


If you added through the Peacock App, then you get Apple TV+ shows in the Peacock App.


Do note, Peacock+ and the Peacock channel in Apple TV app are only available in the US.

How does this help if the deal is only available through the Apple TV app, which detects if you have Apple One Premier to get the $11 Peacock Premium Plus bundle? Your suggestion is to pay $20 through Peacock by signing up for a new account? The issue is that Peacock does not have an option to login with an Apple Account, which I'd assume would allow it to check if the subscription is already active through the Apple Account. I'm having the same issue as OP.

From what I’ve read you have to cancel your Peacock subscription or you will be double billed. I’m in the same situation as you are having already been a customer of both.. I did not have an option to link my accounts in the email that Apple sent me. I cancelled my Peacock so hopefully at the end of the month when it runs out things will be different.. I also connected my Apple account to the Peacock app via the Apple plus app.. 🤷🏻‍♂️
