Is A&E on Peacock?

A&E is known for law enforcement and true crime series.

Peacock sits at a price that makes it look like a bargain cable package, which is not quite what it is.

So, is A&E on Peacock? Here is the answer and the cheapest way around it.

Is A&E on Peacock?

No, A&E is not on Peacock, and the cheapest way to get it is Sling TV at $45.99/month, or free for 7 days on Fubo.

Peacock's live section is mostly NBCUniversal brands, NBC, Telemundo, Bravo and the rest, plus a short list of partner feeds such as Reelz and Hallmark. A&E is owned by A+E Global Media and is not one of them.

    How to watch A&E?

    There is no way to add A&E to a Peacock subscription. It is not a plan or an add-on question, the channel is simply not licensed to Peacock.

    To watch it without cable, Sling TV carries it on its base package at $45.99/month, and Fubo runs a 7-day free trial if you only need it for a weekend. Each of those streams the same live feed you would get from cable.

    Which Peacock plan includes A&E?

    A&E is on none of the Peacock tiers. Premium and Premium Plus both leave it out, and the difference between those two is ads and NBC live access, not extra channels.

    Which number is A&E on Peacock?

    Peacock does not use channel numbers at all. Its live section is a set of NBCU themed feeds, and A&E is not one of them.

    On Sling TV you will find it in the guide like a normal cable channel.

    Which other streaming services carry A&E?

    A&E is carried by Sling TV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV and DIRECTV Stream.

    Several of those come with a free trial, so if you need A&E for one weekend, you can get it without paying anything.

    About A&E

    A&E is owned by A+E Global Media and is built around law enforcement and true crime series.

    The schedule leans on "The First 48," "Court Cam" and "Storage Wars".

    Its parent company streams its content on its own platforms first, which is why it does not turn up inside a rival service like Peacock.
