Let’s jump right in!
What is Peacock TV?
Born from the creative minds at NBC Universal, Peacock TV is a subscription-based streaming service that is quickly growing in popularity, especially in North America. It offers an array of movies and TV shows ranging from the hit NBC show “The Office” to the classic film “Jurassic Park”.
Peacock TV prides itself on offering users a wide selection of content for children, adults, and families. With an expansive library of documentaries, comedies, and dramas to choose from, you will never run out of things to watch!
Where is Peacock TV available?
While Peacock TV has quickly grown into a popular streaming service, it is currently only available in the United States and select countries within Europe. This includes the following regions:
- United States (Domestic)
- American Samoa (U.S. territory)
- Guam (U.S. territory)
- Northern Mariana Islands (U.S. territory)
- Austria
- Germany

Unfortunately, Peacock TV doesn’t currently offer direct access to Canadian viewers due to streaming rights and licensing restrictions. But don’t lose heart! There are ways to get around this geo-blocking restriction and unblock access to Peacock TV in Canada.
How to get Peacock TV in Canada?
Now that you know the basics of Peacock TV, let’s get into how to unblock access to the streaming service in Canada (or from anywhere in the world, for that matter).
Simply put, the easiest way that you can do this is to use what’s known as a Virtual Private Network or VPN for short. This tool makes it possible to reroute your data throug a server that’s located in a completely different region. That way, the streaming service that you’re looking to unblock will think that you’re accessing their platform from that region.
So in this case, we would connect to a server region where Peacock TV is available. You can easily do that with ClearVPN — a fast and user-friendly premium VPN service with dedicated servers for unblocking popular streaming services like Peacock TV.
You need only follow a few simple steps:
1. Of course, the first step is to download and set up the ClearVPN app on your device. You can do that from the ClearVPN website, or the Google Play Store/Apple App Store, if you’re on a mobile device.
2. Run the ClearVPN app and sign up for an account. While you can start using ClearVPN for free, you do need a premium/paid plan to access the Streaming feature (a selection of dedicated streaming servers).
3. Log on to ClearVPN and select the “Streaming” mode, then click/tap on the “Change” button.
4. Next, select Peacock TV from the list of streaming services.
And that’s it! You should now be able to access Peacock TV’s library of content with ease.
