Activating PeacockTV on a TV is a universal workflow: install the app, obtain an onscreen activation code, go to PeacockTV’s activation site on another device, enter the code, and wait for the TV app to refresh into your account. This article walks through that process at a higher level and highlights key tips for smooth multidevice activation visit peacocktv.com/tv.
What You Need Before You Start
Activation will be smoother if you prepare a few essentials in advance. Make sure you have:
- A compatible smart TV, streaming stick, or settop box connected to the internet via WiFi or Ethernet.
- A PeacockTV account (free tier or paid plan) and the correct email/password ready for signin.
You also need a secondary device such as a smartphone or laptop to visit the activation website and enter your TV code.
Install PeacockTV on Any Smart TV or Device
Regardless of brand, the first onscreen step is always installing the PeacockTV application from your device’s digital store. Typical navigation sequences look like this:
- On Samsung or LG TVs, open the Samsung Apps Store or LG Content Store, search for Peacock TV, then install the official app.
- On Roku, choose Streaming Channels, search for Peacock, and add the channel to your home screen.
- On Amazon Fire TV, open the Amazon Appstore, search for Peacock TV, and select Download or Get.
Once installed, confirm that the app icon appears on your home screen or apps list so you can launch it quickly.
Generate and Understand Your Activation Code
When you open PeacockTV after installation, the service may prompt you to sign in with an onscreen code instead of entering credentials directly with the remote. The code serves as a secure, onetime link between your specific device and your user account:
- It usually consists of 6–8 characters and is displayed on a dedicated activation screen with brief instructions.
- The same screen often lists the activation URLs com tv/samsung, peacocktv.com/activate, or similar.
Treat this code as temporary; it is valid only for a short window and must be entered promptly on the activation website.
Use PeacockTV.com/TV or /Activate to Link the Device
The main work happens in your web browser, not on the TV. With the code visible on your TV, pick up your phone or computer and:
- Go to the activation address displayed on the TV, typically peacocktv.com/tv or peacocktv.com/activate.
- Sign in with your PeacockTV credentials, or complete registration if you are creating a new account during activation.
After signin, the site will show a dedicated field where you enter the activation code from your TV screen.
Confirm Activation and Start Streaming
Once you submit the activation code, the PeacockTV platform verifies that the code is valid and links that device to your account. You can then expect:
- A confirmation or success message in the browser indicating that activation is complete.
- The PeacockTV app on your TV to automatically refresh, dismiss the code screen, and load the standard home interface with categories, rows, and recommendations.

From this point forward, you can start a title directly from the TV using its remote, and future launches should sign in automatically unless you log out or uninstall the app.
Handling Provider Promotions and Linked Subscriptions
Some users receive PeacockTV access through cable, broadband, or wireless providers, including Xfinity and other partners. In these cases, activation may include additional steps:
- You may need to claim your PeacockTV benefit first in the provider account portal (for instance, in an Xfinity “Your Subscriptions” section) before logging into PeacockTV.
- When signing in on PeacockTV’s activation site, use the option to authenticate via your TV or internet provider if instructed in the promotion details.

Once the entitlement is linked, the device activation process using the onscreen code works the same way as for direct PeacockTV subscribers.
Fixing When the PeacockTV App or Code Won’t Work
If the activation flow stalls, there are several practical checks that often resolve the problem quickly. Apply the following:
- Ensure your TV or streaming device firmware is up to date, since outdated software can block new app versions or activation flows.
- If the app does not show a code, forceclose and reopen it, or reinstall PeacockTV entirely from the app store to trigger a fresh activation prompt.
When repeated attempts fail, clear your browser cache or try a different browser for the activation site, then consult the official Peacock help center or devicespecific guides for additional troubleshooting.
