Roku customers in the U.S. can now sign up for a Peacock Premium Plus subscription through The Roku Channel, and the subscription includes two new features to use while watching live TV and sports.
With a Peacock Premium Plus subscription, you’ll get access to live sports and events including the NBA, Major League Baseball, WNBA, the FIFA World Cup in Spanish, Premier League soccer, NFL Sunday Night Football, and more. You can also watch hit shows from NBC and Bravo, as well as Peacock’s lineup up of original content like “The Traitors,” and Universal movies on demand and ad-free.
Subscribing through The Roku Channel will also give you two new features – the ability to pause live content and the ability to replay live content while streaming from Peacock. You can now pause what you’re watching to run out for more snacks, or hit replay if you miss a major play while watching sports. Roku says that these are the first Cloud DVR features on the platform, with more to come.
“With Premium Subscriptions, our goal is simple: to make it easier for viewers to discover and watch the content they love without keeping track of multiple apps and logins,” said Gil Fuchsberg, President of Subscriptions, Partnerships & Corporate Development at Roku. “Peacock is an important addition to our growing lineup of Premium Subscriptions, and we’re thrilled to give Roku customers another way to discover and engage with NBCUniversal’s world-class subscription entertainment and sports.”
“At NBCUniversal, our first priority is serving our fandoms and making it easier for our audiences to find and enjoy the content they love,” said Matt Schnaars, President of Platform Distribution & Partnerships, NBCUniversal. “By bringing Peacock Premium Plus to Premium Subscriptions on The Roku Channel, we’re expanding access to our world-class programming and giving fans more choice in how they watch.”
