Where to Watch Love Island USA Season 8 With Peacock Free Trial
While Peacock doesn’t offer a free trial directly through its site, there is a little-known workaround through partner subscription DirecTV. Customers who sign up for one of DirecTV’s signature packages — Entertainment, Choice, Ultimate or Premier — can get two months of the Movies Extra Pack + Peacock at no cost (a $19.98 value). Plus, DirecTV offers a five-day free trial for any plan, meaning new members can stream Love Island USA (and everything else Peacock has to offer) at absolutely no cost during that period. Simply select your preferred signature package, then opt to add “Movies Extra Pack + Peacock Premium” where it instructs you to pick your add-ons.
For another savvy streaming hack, the ad-supported Peacock Premium plan (reg. $10.99 per month or $109.99 annually) is included for free with an Instacart+ membership. Following this membership’s 14-day free trial period, a subscription costs $9.99 per month or $99 per year with annual billing.
