How To Install & Watch Peacock TV On FireStick [2022]

This post will show you how to install Peacock TV on FireStick. The steps provided in this guide will work on all Amazon Fire TV devices, including FireStick Lite, FireStick 4K, FireStick 4K Max, Fire TV Cube, and TVs with FireOS.

What is Peacock TV?

Peacock TV is a US-based, over-the-top streaming service owned by NBCUniversal. It features all the original content from NBCUniversal Studios and third-party syndicated content.

The platform supports both on-demand movies and shows and live TV streaming.

Peacock TV is an affordable way to watch your favorite content on FireStick and other devices, including Xbox One, Roku, Android, and Apple TV.

As of October 2023, Peacock TV has over 30 million subscribers in the United States.

Despite its growing popularity, the service is currently only accessible within the US as an independent streaming service.

Peacock TV is a decent streaming option for your FireStick. Its extensive library and unique features compelled us to include it in the list of the Best Apps for FireStick.

For FireStick Users

ISPs, hackers, and other third-party entities worldwide may monitor your online activities. For security, privacy, and smooth streaming, it is recommended to use a reliable VPN for FireStick. Your IP address is visible to sites you visit.  

I recommend ExpressVPN, a fast and secure VPN. It is very easy to install on any device, including an Amazon Fire TV Stick. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 81% on the 2-year plan.

How to Stream on FireStick with a VPN

Your internet provider and many websites/apps can see your IP address and some details about your connection. Using a VPN encrypts your traffic and masks your IP address, which helps protect your online privacy.

I recommend ExpressVPN. It’s a reputable VPN with strong encryption and fast connections, and it’s straightforward to install on Fire TV/FireStick and other devices.

Next, I’ll show you how to set up and use ExpressVPN on your Fire TV/Stick. 

Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it for free for the first 30 days, and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find, followed by the Search option.

Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.

Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.

Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created when you purchased the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.

Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.
