Activating PeacockTV on a TV is a twodevice process: you install and open the app on the TV, then complete activation on a browser using an onscreen code. This avoids typing long passwords on a remote and securely links the TV to your PeacockTV account visit peacocktv.com/tv.
Check TV and Device Compatibility
Before starting, confirm your television or streaming device supports the PeacockTV app. PeacockTV runs on many connected platforms, including:
- Smart TVs such as Samsung, LG, and some Android TV/Google TV models.
- Streaming boxes and sticks like Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, and Chromecast with Google TV.
If your TV is not supported, you can still use PeacockTV via an external device like Roku or Fire TV connected through HDMI.
Install the PeacockTV App on Your TV
The first activation step is installing the PeacockTV application from your TV’s builtin app store. The exact menu names can vary, but the core process is consistent:
- Open your TV or device app store from the home screen (for example, Samsung Apps, LG Content Store, Roku Channel Store, Amazon Appstore, Google Play on Android TV).
- Use search to type Peacock or Peacock TV and select the official PeacockTV app from NBCUniversal.
- Choose Install, Download, or Add Channel to place the app on your TV or device home screen.
Once installation completes, you are ready to launch the app and generate the activation code.
Launch PeacockTV and Get the Activation Code
Activation starts on the TV itself, where the app displays a unique code that links your device to your account. When you open PeacockTV for the first time or after signing out, expect to see:
- A welcome or signin screen asking you to log in or activate with a code.
- A short alphanumeric or numeric activation code (often 6 characters) shown prominently on the TV screen, sometimes alongside the URL com tv/samsungor peacocktv.com/activate.
Leave this screen visible; the TV must stay on while you complete activation from another device.
Go to PeacockTV.com/TV or /Activate on Another Device
To avoid entering complex credentials on the TV, PeacockTV activation is done in a browser on a separate device. Use any modern browser on your phone, tablet, or computer and then:
- Enter peacocktv.com/tv or peacocktv.com/activate in the address bar as directed on the TV screen.
- If prompted, sign in using the email and password for your PeacockTV account, or create a new account if you have not registered yet.
Always ensure you are on the official Peacock/PeacockTV domain to keep your login and billing details secure.

Enter the Code and Complete Activation
Once logged in on the activation site, you will see a field specifically for the onscreen code. Completing activation takes only a few seconds if you follow these details precisely:
- Type the activation code exactly as displayed on your TV, respecting capitalization and avoiding spaces or extra characters.
- Click Continue, Activate, or Submit to send the code for verification.
- Wait a moment while the system links the TV to your account; you should see a success message in the browser and the app on your TV will refresh and sign in automatically.

After this refresh, your TV is fully activated and you can browse movies, shows, live channels, or sports directly from the PeacockTV home screen.
DeviceSpecific Notes (Samsung, LG, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV)
On each supported platform, activation follows the same pattern, with only small interface differences. Common variations include:
- Samsung and LG Smart TVs: Install PeacockTV from Samsung Apps or LG Content Store, open the app, then activate using the code at peacocktv.com/tv.
- Roku: Add the PeacockTV channel, open it to get a code, then enter that code at the activation site while signed into your account.
- Fire TV and Apple TV: Download PeacockTV from the respective app stores, open the app, and use the displayed code on peacocktv.com/activate.
In some cases you may be able to sign in directly on the TV with your email and password instead of using a code, but the codebased method is usually faster and more convenient.
Troubleshooting Common Activation Problems
Occasionally, activation may fail or the code may not work on the first try, but most issues are easy to fix with a few checks. Typical problems and solutions include:
- Code expired or invalid: Activation codes are timelimited; if you wait too long, select “Get a new code,” restart the app, or back out and reopen PeacockTV to generate a fresh one.
- TV app never refreshes: Confirm that the TV remains online, then close and reopen the app after entering the code; also check that you logged into the same account used for your subscription.
