How to Get Peacock on Your Fire TV Right Now?

Amazon Fire TV devices are not supported by NBC's new Peacock streaming service, which recently went live. NBCUniversal and Amazon are currently at odds over a number of financial concerns, and it doesn't seem like they'll be figuring it out anytime soon, just like with the debut of HBO Max around late May.

The good news for Fire TV users is that there is a fix available: simply sideload the Peacock app from Android TV onto your Fire TV device in its place. The programme itself functions perfectly, but the setup is a little difficult.

This is how to get Peacock on your Fire TV right now: Edition TV, Fire TV Cube, Fire TV streaming box, as well as Fire TV Stick.

Activate Fire TV Sideloading for Getting Peacock on Fire TV

How to Get Peacock on Your Fire TV Right Now

  • You must first enable "sideloading" on Fire TV, which allows users to build apps from sources other than Amazon's official App Store.
  • Install the Downloader app first by going to the Amazon Appstore. Using your online browser, you may remotely install it, or you can simply use your Fire TV's Alexa remote to look up "Downloader" here on the device itself.
  • When you've finished installing it, navigate to Settings, select "My Fire TV," and then choose "Developer Options."
  • Switch on "ADB Debugging" or "Apps from Unknown Sources" under this menu. Just click "Turn On" once you get the alarming warning about security risks of unauthorized apps. Upon installing Peacock, you can always disable "Apps via Unknown Sources."
  • You may get a choice for "Install unknown apps" rather than "Apps from Unknown Sources" on some more recent Fire TV devices. If so, choose this choice and then in the subsequent menu, select "On" for Downloader.

Download and Install the Peacock App

For the following step, we’re going to install the program via a third-party site called APKMirror. We'll just use a quick link in the Downloader app to install it straight, despite the fact that the real APK installation file is available here for reference.

  • Open the Downloader application, and when prompted, select "Allow". Enter the number 81035 after choosing the URL bar.
  • Wait for the "Install" option to display at this point. It will either be a pop-up like the one seen below or even a full-screen prompt, based on your Fire TV device. Click "Open," and "Download."
  • When you long-press the home button and choose "Apps," you can discover the app toward the bottom of your list of all installed apps if you don't open it straight away but it isn't in your Recents row. 

You may either create an account or sign in with an existing one once you're within the app. Set up an account on your Android device first if you have one, as you'll be qualified for three free months of Peacock's Premium service as a result of an agreement with NBCUniversal and Google. Soon after signing up, an email with an offer may arrive.
