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
Max

Best for: Prestige TV fans who want the full HBO catalog (The Sopranos, The Wire, Succession, White Lotus) and don't mind paying $16–$23/month for it.
