SAVE 49%: ExpressVPN is the best service for unblocking Peacock. 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 U.S. streaming service that offers a massive range of hit TV shows, movies, and impressive 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.

That's great news, but what about if you're trying to connect to Peacock from a location that doesn't support the service? These subscribers will need to use a VPN.

How to unblock Peacock

If you try to connect to Peacock from an unsupported location, you'll be quickly blocked by the platform. That's obviously frustrating, but there is something you can do to bypass this restriction. 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 is 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

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.

How to unblock Peacock for free

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 and then recover your investment when you return to a supported location. This clearly isn't a long-term solution, but it works well if you're on holiday or travelling for work.

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.
