TL;DR: ExpressVPN is the best service for bypassing geo-restrictions. Access your Peacock subscription from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN.


Peacock is a popular U.S. streaming service offering a wide range of hit shows, new releases, and movies. It's one of the best streaming platforms around, but it's not perfect.

If you're trying to connect to Peacock from a location that doesn't support the service, you'll be quickly blocked. Fortunately, you can bypass this frustrating online blockade with a VPN.

How to unblock Peacock for free

VPNs are powerful tools that can hide your real IP address (digital location) and connect you to a secure server in a location that supports Peacock. This quick and easy process bypasses geo-restrictions to secure access to Peacock from anywhere in the world:

  1. Sign up to a VPN (like ExpressVPN)

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in a country that supports Peacock

  4. Access Peacock from anywhere in the world

The best VPNs for streaming are not free, but most do offer free trials or money-back guarantees. By leveraging these offers, you can unblock your Peacock subscription without actually spending anything. This clearly isn't a long-term solution, but it works well if you're travelling abroad and need temporary access to your favourite shows.

What is the best VPN for Peacock?

There are plenty of streaming-friendly VPNs, but ExpressVPN leads the way. It's not the cheapest service, but users get a lot for their money:
