Whether you’re a sports fan, a comedy lover, or a reality TV junkie, you’re going to watch a Peacock subscription this fall — and we have great news for you: you can take advantage of a rare free trial to try out Peacock for one week.

The streamer’s stacked fall gets started this week with a huge premiere from the world of The Office. The Paper, which premieres tomorrow (Sept. 4), follows the documentary crew from Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch as they descend upon a new subject: a struggling Midwestern newspaper and the young editor who intends to revive it.

Then, of course, for the sports fans, NBC’s Sunday Night Football comes back this week with a big Baltimore vs. Buffalo matchup. That’s in addition to Big Ten Saturday Night college football marquee matchups. The NBA is also set to return to NBC and Peacock in October and you can watch Premier League soccer matches every weekend with a subscription.

Over on the reality TV side, Peacock is following up another hit season of Love Island USA with Season 2 of Love Island Games, premiering on Sept. 16. One day later, subscribers will be able to tune into the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 6 premiere. A new season of The Real Housewives of Potomac is on the way, too.

It’s all happening on Peacock, and now it’s easier than ever to tune in thanks to Peacock launching as a Prime Video add-on subscription.

Does Peacock Have A Free Trial?

Yes! You can currently take advantage of a seven-day free trial when you subscribe to Peacock via Prime Video.

How to Get Peacock for Free:

To get Prime Video’s Peacock free trial, first thing’s first: you’ll need an Amazon account — free or a paid Prime account, either will do for this.

From there, head to this Peacock subscription landing page and click Start your 7-day free trial. After the trial period is up, you’ll pay $16.99/month for Peacock’s ad-free plan.

Your subscription will always be connected to your Amazon account and available whenever you log into Prime Video.
