What's available

Peacock is available in Ireland with a decent but limited library compared to its US counterpart. You can stream NBC and Bravo reality favourites like The Real Housewives franchise and Below Deck, along with classic series such as The Office (US) and Parks and Recreation. Movies from Universal Pictures, including the Jurassic World films and Fast & Furious titles, are also accessible. Sports coverage includes some Premier League football highlights and WWE content.

What you're missing

The Irish library is notably smaller than the US version. Several high-profile exclusives are either unavailable or delayed, including:

  • Bel-Air — the dramatic Fresh Prince reboot
  • Poker Face — Natasha Lyonne's critically acclaimed mystery series
  • The Traitors (US) — the reality competition hit
  • Saved by the Bell (reboot)
  • Full live NFL Sunday Night Football streams
  • Same-day NBC primetime broadcasts

How to access other regions

To unlock the full US Peacock library from Ireland, you need a VPN. A VPN masks your IP address and makes Peacock think you're browsing from the United States. Connect to a US server — New York or Los Angeles work reliably — then open Peacock and you'll see the complete American catalogue.

Our primary recommendation is NordVPN. It offers fast US servers, consistent unblocking performance with Peacock, and strong privacy features. It's straightforward to set up on phones, smart TVs, and laptops.

Pricing

Peacock offers a free tier with limited content and ads. Paid plans in Ireland are available in euros, with Peacock Premium starting at approximately €4.99 per month and Peacock Premium Plus (fewer ads, downloads) at around €9.99 per month. Pricing can change, so check Peacock's website directly for the latest rates before subscribing.

Our recommendation

If you're in Ireland and happy with casual viewing of reality TV, classic comedies, and Universal films, Peacock's free or Premium tier gives you reasonable value. However, if you want the full experience — including Peacock Originals like Poker Face, live sports, and same-day US broadcasts — pairing your subscription with NordVPN and a US server connection is the most effective solution. It's a small extra cost that dramatically expands what you actually get.
