Home to summer smashes like "Love Island USA" and "Love Island: Beyond the Villa," Peacock is the unofficial streaming service of the summer. That said, it's also about to get more expensive, as the streamer has announced that it will be increasing its subscription prices later this week. Luckily, there's still time to lock in a year of Peacock for $80 before that happens.
The annual version of Peacock's ad-supported tier offers some solid savings compared to month-to-month plans. The plan unlocks Peacock's full suite of on-demand content, including programming from NBC, Bravo, Universal, and Peacock originals.
Once the price hike takes effect, the price of the Peacock Premium plan will increase by $3 to $10.99 a month or $30 to $109.99 a year. The same goes for the Premium Plus Plan, which will increase by $3 to $16.99 a month or $30 to $169.99 a year.
With prices increasing in just two days, now's a better time than ever to subscribe to Peacock if you've been on the fence. Simply head over to the Peacock website and sign up to lock in one year of Peacock Premium or Peacock Premium Plus for the current prices of $79.99 or $139.99, respectively, before it's too late. The annual plans offer the best deal, but if you'd prefer to save on the monthly plan, you can check out our guide to the best Peacock promo codes we've tested.

Keep in mind that subscribing now will only lock in a lower price for your first year of Peacock. If you choose to keep the service beyond one year, your subscription will automatically renew at the then-standard price this time next year ($109.99 for Peacock Premium or $169.99 for Peacock Premium Plus, pending any further increases), though you can always cancel before then.
