This article explains installing the Peacock TV app on your Fire TV device, including Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Cube, and others. Peacock isn’t available in the Fire TV app store, so you will need to turn on sideloading and obtain the Peacock Android TV app from a reputable source.
What to Know
Getting Peacock on Fire TV Devices
Peacock is a streaming service from NBC Universal that provides access to a lot of old favorites, like The Office, but it isn’t available from the Fire TV app store. Fire TV is built on Android though, which means a lot of Android TV apps run just fine if you sideload them.
The process of sideloading Peacock TV is more complicated than just grabbing an app from the official app store, but it isn’t that difficult. Everything is done directly on the Fire TV device without any need to jailbreak it or even connect it to a computer.
Here’s how to get Peacock TV on your Fire TV device:
If you’ve already turned on sideloading and installed the Downloader app in the past, you can skip directly to step three.
Turn on sideloading on your Fire TV device by turning on Apps from Unknown Sources in settings.
Install the downloader app.
Open the Downloader app.
From the Browser, select the URL bar.
Type www.apkmirror.com/apk/peacock-tv-llc/peacock-tv-android-tv using the on-screen keyboard, and select Go.
Select the most recent version of Peacock TV - Stream TV, Movies, Live Sports & More (Android TV).
The most recent version has the best chance of working on your Fire TV device. New versions are released periodically.
Scroll down and select DOWNLOAD APK.
Wait for the file to download to your Fire TV device.
Select Install.
Select Install again.
Select DONE to finish, or OPEN to launch the Peacock app right now.
Select Sign Up if you don’t yet have an account, or Sign In if you have an account.
Creating an account for Peacock TV is free, and you don’t need to provide a credit card.
Enter your email and password, and select Continue.
Peacock TV is ready to watch. From now on, it will appear along with the rest of your apps on your Fire TV device.
Peacock will not update automatically like the rest of your apps because you sideloaded it. If the Peacock app stops working, uninstall it, go back to step five, and install the latest version of the app.
