Peacock USA Network Watch Without Cable

If you’ve got a Roku, you’re two clicks from the Olympics. Peacock is available on all Roku devices — Roku Express, Streaming Stick, Roku Ultra, and Roku-powered TVs from TCL, Hisense, and others.

Installing Peacock on Roku

  1. From the Roku home screen, scroll to Streaming Channels
  2. Select Search Channels and type “Peacock”
  3. Select Peacock TV and hit Add Channel
  4. Open the app and sign in with your Peacock account (or create one)

If you already have Peacock installed, make sure it’s updated. Go to Home > Settings > System > System Update > Check Now. An outdated app can cause buffering and crashes during high-traffic events like the Olympics.

Finding Olympic Coverage

Once in Peacock, navigate to Sports > Olympics from the top menu. You’ll see a live schedule, featured streams, and sport-by-sport browsing. The Gold Zone channel will appear as a pinned tile at the top of the Olympics hub during the Games.

NBC and USA Network on Roku

The NBC app and USA Network app are both available on Roku. Download them from the Channel Store and log in with your cable or live-TV streaming provider. If you use YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV, those apps are also on Roku and carry both channels.

Troubleshooting

  • Buffering during popular events: Restart your Roku (Settings > System > System Restart) and make sure you’re on a 5 GHz Wi-Fi band if possible.
  • “Content not available” error: Check that your Peacock subscription is active and that you’re in the U.S.
  • Audio out of sync: Back out of the stream and re-enter. This is a known Peacock issue on some Roku models.
  • Black screen on launch: Uninstall and reinstall the Peacock app. This clears cached data that can cause startup issues.
