The NFL playoffs officially kick off on Saturday with the start of Wild Card Weekend. Six games are scheduled from Saturday to Monday, with most of the matchups airing on the usual spots (NBC, FOX, CBS, ESPN).
Saturday night’s hotly anticipated battle between Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs and Tua Tagovailoa’s Miami Dolphins will air on Peacock, which on the surface isn’t a huge deal. Sunday Night Football is broadcast on Peacock, but those games were also available to watch on NBC. Unfortunately for non-Peacock subscribers, Saturday’s Chiefs/Dolphins matchup will be exclusive to Peacock, meaning it won’t be simulcast on NBC. So, how can you watch the game?
One option is to be one of the lucky 90 fans to win a free three-month subscription to the streamer from Chiefs defensive end Charles Omenihu. But perhaps a more plausible plan is to take advantage of an Instacart+ promotion that offers a free Peacock subscription. How exactly does it work? Here’s everything you need to know.
Instacart+ now comes with a subscription to Peacock Premium at no extra cost (a $59.99/year value). Instacart+ is available for $99.00/year or $9.99/month, with members enjoying unlimited free delivery on orders of $35 or more.
Per Instacart, “your access to Peacock Premium will continue for so long as you remain an eligible Instacart+ member and while this offer remains available. You can activate the Peacock benefit via your Instacart account page or visit www.instacart.com/peacock.”
If you want to sample the service (and watch Saturday’s Chiefs/Dolphins game for free) Instacart+ also offers a 14-day free trial.
Nope. Unfortunately, the streamer isn’t currently offering a free trial.
You can also stream the game by purchasing a subscription to Peacock Premium or Peacock Premium Plus (features fewer ads and is available for $11.99/month or $119.99/year). As Angela Tricarico reports, the streamer is currently offering a discount on their Peacock Premium annual plan. If you use the promo code PEACOCK2024, you can purchase a year of Peacock for $29.99 (normally $59.99).
Peacock is available across a variety of platforms, including Android TV, Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox, and more. You can also watch Peacock on your web browser or via a variety of cable providers set top boxes (Cox, Contour, Xfinity). The Peacock app is available to download on Google Play, iTunes, Roku, and more.
