How can you stream Peacock TV on Firestick in Canada?

Peacock TV is one of the most popular video-on-demand streaming platforms globally, especially Canada. It is owned and operated by NBC Universal, a subsidiary of Comcast. If you look closely at the NBC logo, you will understand where the name “Peacock” came from.

The streaming service was launched in July 2020 and offered various TV shows, movies, and other forms of content owned by NBC Universal Studios. The streaming service also houses digital media content from various third-party content providers.

You can watch advertisements-free content by paying additional subscription charges, but it also has advertisement-supported content, but it is very limited in quantity.

The streaming service has about 54 million subscribers and is available on Sky and Now platforms in the United Kingdom and Ireland from November 16, 2021.

But like many other American-based streaming services, Peacock is also geographically restricted in Canada and many other countries globally. Now, we understand that Canadian readers must be asking themselves: is Peacock TV available in Canada?

Well, the answer to that question is yes. However, there’s a condition attached to it. Canadian viewers can easily access Peacock TV in Canada, but for that, they’d have to use a virtual private network.

Using a virtual private network, they can simply swap their original Canadian IP address and location with a United States IP address and location.

By doing this, they can easily fool Peacock into thinking that they are residing in the United States, and the streaming platform will immediately let them watch their favourite TV shows and movies.

Peacock is available on Mac, Windows, Android, iOS, and streaming devices such as PlayStation, Samsung smart TVs, Android TVs, Roku, Amazon Fire tablets, Amazon Fire TV, and even Firestick.

But, if you aren’t a tech-loving Canadian, then setting up Peacock on Firestick devices can be a little bit tricky. Fret not. This is exactly what this article addresses. Here are the steps for streaming Peacock TV on Firestick devices in Canada.

So without further ado, let’s begin.
