30 Best Peacock Alternatives Right Now

One of the best things about Peacock is its affordable price, which comes with a ton of exclusive and original content from NBC in addition to 50 live channels. It's the streaming home to shows like The Office and Parks and Recreation, and it offers all these in over 21 different languages on many streaming devices. By all accounts, Peacock would seem like the perfect platform. 

But given its many strengths, one has to wonder, why hasn't it reached the same prominence as Disney+, Max, or even Netflix for that matter? If current users are to be believed, it could be because Peacock has a less-than-satisfactory user interface. Alternatively, its lineup or general recall might be lackluster compared to the much busier competition. 

If you like some things about Peacock but object to its other features, we've listed the best Peacock alternatives you could consider below.
