Starting at $11/month, a Peacock subscription will get you access to some of this year's NBA playoff games and so much more.
Plus, Peacock also provides access thousands of hours of shows and movies, including beloved sitcoms such as Parks and Recreation and The Office. For $17 monthly you can upgrade to an ad-free subscription which includes live access to your local NBC affiliate (not just during designated sports and events) and the ability to download select titles to watch offline.
DirecTV's Choice tier (currently $84.99 for your first month) gets you access to nearly every channel you need to watch sports throughout the year, so you can watch NBA playoff games that air on NBC, ABC and ESPN. DirecTV Choice (and most other DirecTV plans) also come with free ESPN Unlimited, which gets you access to every ESPN channel, an amazing value and a must for watching tons of college and pro sports all year round.
DirecTV offers a free trial on any tier, so you can try it all out for free. After your free trial and new subscriber month deal on DirecTV's Choice tier, the monthly price goes up to $115/month after fees.
If you're interested in trying a live TV streaming service but aren't ready to commit, we recommend starting with DirecTV.
Peacock is home to all kinds of original content, from Emmy Award-winning reality series The Traitors to Poker Face and Twisted Metal. In addition to original content, the platform has an impressive library of shows from NBC and Bravo, thousands of movies, and live sports.
While a regular Peacock subscription begins at $10.99 for a Premium Plan and goes up to $16.99 for the ad-free Premium Plus plan, you can get an ad-supported subscription for free if you're a Walmart+ subscriber.
Walmart+ members actually get their choice between Paramount+ or Peacock included in their membership at no additional cost. A monthly subscription to Walmart+ costs $12.99, and an annual plan usually costs $98 — for free Peacock, and additional perks like five free months of Apple Music, discounts on Cinemark movie theater memberships, free shipping and delivery on Walmart purchases, discounts on gas, and much more. Qualifying students and customers receiving government assistance are eligible for 50% off Walmart+, which means that subscriptions for some customers runs as low as $49/year.
