    Where Peacock falls short

    Only NBCUniversal content

    No HBO, no FX, no AMC, no Disney/ESPN. If your favorite show isn't on NBC, USA, Bravo or Syfy — Peacock can't help you

    Limited live sports

    Sunday Night Football yes, but no NFL Sunday Ticket, no NBA, no NHL. Premier League decent, everything else missing

    Movie library is shallow

    Universal-only films. No HBO Max blockbusters, no A24 indies, no Apple TV+ originals — you'll need extra subscriptions

    Add-ons stack up fast

    Peacock Premium ($11.88) → Premium Plus ($11.88) → SHOWTIME bundle (+$11) → Hallmark+ (+$7) = $40+/mo for partial coverage
