SAVE 49%: Access Peacock from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £82.82 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.


Peacock is a popular streaming service that offers a wide range of shows, movies, and originals. It is also now available at no extra cost to Sky and NOW subscribers in the UK and Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy. So what's the problem?

If you're trying to connect to Peacock from a location that doesn't support the service, you'll be blocked. This is particularly frustrating if you travel frequently, because you won't be able to access your favourite shows when abroad.

Fortunately, there is something you can do to bypass this blockade.

How to unblock Peacock for free

With the help of a VPN, you can hide your real IP address and connect to a secure server in a location that supports Peacock. The process might sound complicated, but it's actually really straightforward:

  1. Sign up to a VPN

  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. Watch 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 using 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 on holiday or travelling for work.

What is the best VPN for Peacock?

There are plenty of streaming-friendly VPNs out there, but ExpressVPN continues to lead the way. Users get strong connection speeds, powerful levels of encryption, reliable customer support, and up to five simultaneous connections. It's also the best service for unblocking other streaming platforms like Hulu and Max.

A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £82.82, saving you 49% on list price. This plan comes with an extra three months and a year of unlimited cloud backup for free. Subscribers also get a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can unblock Peacock without fully committing with your cash.
