OUR VERDICT
Peacock

Best for: Sports fans who want Peacock-exclusive live NFL games and Premier League soccer without paying for a full cable bundle. Note that NFL Sunday Night Football itself simulcasts free on NBC broadcast TV. No subscription required for that specific game.

Try Peacock
Apple TV+

Best for: Selective viewers happy paying $12.99/month for a small library where the hit rate per title is high and everything streams in 4K with no ads. New Apple device buyers get 3 months free.
