Step-by-step guide to set up Peacock for Hawkeyes vs. Boilermakers
Week 6 is upon us and it will look a little bit different for fans of the Iowa Hawkeyes and Purdue Boilermakers watching at home. In a new era of college football, this game will be viewable exclusively on Peacock. It will be streamed via the subscription service owned by NBC.
In this week’s piece discussing how to watch the Hawkeyes take on the Boilermakers, there are details regarding kickoff time, announcers, and that the game is available via Peacock. To take it a step further, why not offer a bit of a guide on how to watch?
The process to view the game via the App has been streamlined quite well by Peacock and offers fans across the country the opportunity to tune into the Hawkeyes as they look to move to 5-1 on the season.
Here is Hawkeyes Wire’s step-by-step guide on how to locate Peacock, set up an account, what it may cost, and options for individuals with the subscription.
Finding the Peacock app
For Apple App Store, Google Play, and any other app services, simply search “Peacock”
Locate the black icon with the white “P” alongside a rainbow of dots running vertically
Click download
Alternate option: search “Peacock TV” on Google and go to their home page
Getting started on Peacock
Once in the app or on the web homepage, click the “Pick a Plan” icon that is yellow with black writing
On the app or the web, this will take you to the page of choosing the subscription that you would like
Choosing the subscription plan
Peacock offers two subscriptions to choose from
Option 1: Premium subscription, $5.99/month that shows live sports, new shows, and movies
Option 2: Premium Plus subscription, $11.99/month that offers a “no ads” upgrade for shows and the ability to download shows offline
Click the “Get Premium” or “Get Premium Plus” button based on desired subscription
Creating an account on Peacock
At this point, you will create an account with your email, password, name, and birthdate information
Once the information is entered, click “Create Account”
At this point, you will enter your credit card information and will be charged one month’s subscription price ($5.99 or $11.99 depending on the service chosen)
How to watch the game
Once the account has been created and the subscription paid for, Peacock will take you to their home page
Along the top is a list of selections to tab over to until you reach “Sports”
At the far right on the top is a search bar to input “Iowa” and locate the game
Once the game has been located, simply click on it and the stream will begin
Subscription options
Peacock will automatically renew the monthly subscription
If desired, individuals have the ability to cancel the subscription at any time they wish and retain services until the current month is up
