How to Get Peacock on Amazon Fire TV (2025 Guide)

Is Peacock on Firestick? Yes. Peacock is on Amazon Fire TV and Firestick. Learn a comprehensive set of steps to have your own Peacock Fire TV via amazon.com/code Firestick; enjoy for a long time and learn how to sideload Peacock on Amazon Fire TV.

What “Sideloading” Means and When to Use It

Sideloading installs an app from outside the App Store (e.g., via Downloader + an APK). It’s handy if the store listing is missing in your region, but it carries risks: outdated or tampered APKs, broken updates, and potential violations of terms. If you can, always prefer the official App Store or Prime Video Channels routes first.

The 3 Ways to Watch Peacock on Fire TV

*Peacock officially supports Fire TV & Fire Tablets (Fire OS 6+) in the U.S. and certain U.S. territories. Outside those regions the app may be unavailable.

1) Official install on Fire TV

This is the default for most people.

• On Fire TV, go to Find → Appstore, search “Peacock,” select Get/Download, then Open.
• Sign in with your Peacock account (or create one).
• Adjust playback quality/subtitles in the app settings as needed.

If Peacock doesn’t show up in Appstore

• Check region & account: Peacock is available in the U.S. and certain U.S. territories only; if your Amazon account/1-Click address is set elsewhere, the listing may be hidden.
• Install from the web:Open the Amazon Appstore page for Peacock on a browser (logged into the same Amazon account), choose Deliver to your Fire TV, and click Get App. 
• Fix a stuck download:On Fire TV, go to Settings → Applications → Manage Installed Applications → Peacock → Clear Cache/Clear Data, then reboot.

Compatibility (quick take): Peacock supports Fire TV and Fire Tablet devices with Fire OS 6+ (note: Peacock’s help page flags that Fire Max 11 isn’t supported). If your device is older, the Appstore may block installation.

2) Watch via Prime Video Channels (one bill, quick start)

If you prefer everything inside Prime Video and unified billing, subscribe to Peacock via Prime Video Channels and watch it in the Prime Video app on Fire TV—no separate Peacock app needed. Amazon and NBCUniversal announced Peacock (Premium Plus) on Prime Video Channels on 28 Aug 2025. Pricing on Channels tracks Peacock’s current rates.

How to subscribe on Fire TV / web

• In Prime Video, open Channels → Peacock and start the 7-day trial/subscribe flow (where available), or subscribe on the Prime Video website and it will appear on your Fire TV.
• Manage/cancel in Prime Video → Your Channels afterward. (Availability and offers vary by region.)

Limitations to note

Feature differences may exist vs. the standalone Peacock app (e.g., downloads and some app-specific settings). Check the channel’s details before choosing.

3) Sideload Peacock (advanced users only)

If your Appstore doesn’t show Peacock and Channels aren’t offered in your region, you can sideload at your own risk.

Safety & Compliance

• Only download APKs from sources you trust and verify checksums where possible.
• Enable Apps from Unknown Sources for Downloader or your chosen installer, then disable it again after installing.

Steps with Downloader

1. Install Downloader from the Amazon Appstore.
2. Go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer options → Install unknown apps → Downloader → ON.
3. In Downloader, enter the verified APK URL for Peacock → Download → Install.
4. Open Peacock; if it crashes, try a different, compatible build.
5. Turn Install unknown apps OFF again.

Common pitfalls

Version mismatch (APK meant for Fire Tablet vs. Fire TV), signature conflicts, or updates overwriting sideloaded builds. If an update breaks playback, fully uninstall, reboot, and reinstall a compatible version. (APK listings for Amazon builds can differ from Android TV.)

App & Channels Troubleshooting

Can’t find Peacock in Appstore

Confirm your Amazon account region and 1-Click address are set to a supported U.S. location. Try web “Deliver to” from the Peacock Appstore page. 

Stuck on “Downloading…” or “Pending”

Clear the cache/data for the Appstore/Peacock, reboot, make sure you’ve got storage and a stable network. 

Login or subscription not recognised

If you subscribed via Prime Video Channels, you’ll watch inside Prime Video—not the standalone Peacock app (and vice-versa). Check you’re opening the right one. 

Buffering/freezing on Firestick

Reduce other network activity, test your speed, reboot the router/Fire TV, clear the cache, and try lowering playback quality if needed.
