Neal Mohan and NBCUniversal announce multiyear partnership to include Peacock Premium in YouTube Premium subscription

Neal Mohan, CEO of YouTube, and NBCUniversal have announced a multiyear partnership that will provide U.S. YouTube Premium subscribers with access to Peacock Premium starting in early 2027. This agreement includes the ad-supported tier of Peacock, which currently costs $11 per month, as part of the YouTube Premium membership at no extra cost. The deal expands the distribution of NBCUniversal content across YouTube and YouTube TV. It also establishes NBC Sports as a production partner for select live sporting events on YouTube, with some telecasts streaming for free on the NBC Sports YouTube channel. The partnership aims to offer YouTube subscribers more premium entertainment options, including blockbuster Universal movies and hit original series. This move comes as Peacock achieves its first-ever quarterly profit since its 2020 debut. The partnership marks Peacock's largest wholesale distribution deal to date, accelerating its growth in a competitive streaming landscape.
