CNN is known for 24-hour news and election night coverage.

Peacock is cheap enough that people assume it works as a cable replacement, and it is worth knowing where that assumption breaks.

So, is CNN on Peacock? Here is the answer and the cheapest way around it.

Is CNN on Peacock?

No, CNN 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. CNN is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery and is not one of them.

How to watch CNN?

There is no way to add CNN 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 CNN?

CNN 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 CNN on Peacock?

Peacock does not use channel numbers at all. Its live section is a set of NBCU themed feeds, and CNN 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 CNN?

CNN is carried by Sling TV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV and DIRECTV Stream.

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

About CNN

CNN is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery and is built around 24-hour news and election night coverage.

The schedule leans on "Anderson Cooper 360" and breaking news coverage.

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.
