How to Install & Watch Peacock TV on FireStick (2025)

This post will show you how to install Peacock TV on FireStick. The steps provided in this guide will work on all Amazon Fire TV devices, including FireStick Lite, FireStick 4K, FireStick 4K Max, Fire TV Cube, and TVs with FireOS.

What is Peacock TV?

Peacock TV is a US-based, over-the-top streaming service owned by NBCUniversal. It features all the original content from NBCUniversal Studios and third-party syndicated content.

The platform supports both on-demand movies and shows and live TV streaming.

Peacock TV is an affordable way to watch your favorite content on FireStick and other devices, including Xbox One, Roku, Android, and Apple TV.

As of October 2023, Peacock TV has over 30 million subscribers in the United States.

Despite its growing popularity, the service is currently only accessible within the US as an independent streaming service.

Peacock TV is a decent streaming option for your FireStick. Its extensive library and unique features compelled us to include it in the list of the Best Apps for FireStick.

How to Stream on FireStick with a VPN

Your internet provider and many websites/apps can see your IP address and some details about your connection. Using a VPN encrypts your traffic and masks your IP address, which helps protect your online privacy.

I recommend ExpressVPN. It’s a reputable VPN with strong encryption and fast connections, and it’s straightforward to install on Fire TV/FireStick and other devices.

Next, I’ll show you how to set up and use ExpressVPN on your Fire TV/Stick. 

Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it for free for the first 30 days, and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find, followed by the Search option.

Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.

Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.

Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created when you purchased the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.

Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.

How to Watch Peacock Outside the USA

You can watch Peacock outside the USA in two ways. These are:

• Using a VPN
• Via Peacock streaming partners outside the US

Let’s look at the two methods below.

Method #1: Using a VPN

Peacock is compatible with VPN. I asked a friend in India to access the platform using ExpressVPN, and he was successful. All he did was connect to a US server, then access Peacock (peacocktv.com) in a web browser.

Here’s how to watch Peacock outside the USA using a VPN:

1. Open your VPN app and connect to a US server.
2. Navigate to your web browser and visit https://www.peacocktv.com
3. Click Sign In and enter your account details to log into your Peacock account.
4. Start exploring Peacock’s content library and watching your favorite content.

Method #2: Via Peacock Streaming Partners Outside the USA

While NBCUniversal doesn’t offer Peacock as a standalone streaming service outside the US, it partners with foreign streaming services in select regions to distribute its content. If you’re a subscriber to such services, you can watch Peacock’s content via these platforms.

Here’s a summary of Peacock’s streaming partners that offer its content outside the USA and their respective regions:

Region	Streaming Partner
Canada	Corus Entertainment / Quebecor Content
Europe	Sky, SkyShowtime, and Universal+
Latin America	Universal+ and HBO Max
Australia	Foxtel and Binge
New Zealand	TVNZ / TVNZ+
Middle East & North Africa	OSN / OSN+
Sub-Saharan Africa	Showmax
India	JioHotstar
South-East Asia	HBO Max

How to Update the Peacock App on FireStick

If you have downloaded Peacock TV from the App Store, it will update automatically. Ensure the Automatic Updates option is turned on in the FireStick Settings.

Go to FireStick Settings > Applications > Appstore > Automatic Updates to turn it on. By default, Automatic Updates are turned on.

If you have sideloaded Peacock TV (method 2), you will encounter an error in the app and be prompted to update it. You can directly visit this page and follow these steps:

1. Uninstall the Peacock TV APK.
2. Follow the fresh installation steps given above (method 2).
3. You will have the updated and latest version of the Peacock app.
