History is known for documentary series and long-running unscripted franchises.
Peacock gets bought for one show and then asked to do the job of a full channel lineup, which it was never built for.
So, is History on Peacock? Here is the answer and the cheapest way around it.
Is History on Peacock?
No, History 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. History is owned by A+E Global Media and is not one of them.

How to watch History?
There is no way to add History 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 History?
History 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 History on Peacock?
Peacock does not use channel numbers at all. Its live section is a set of NBCU themed feeds, and History 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 History?
History is carried by Sling TV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV and DIRECTV Stream.
Several of those come with a free trial, so if you need History for one weekend, you can get it without paying anything.

About History
History is owned by A+E Global Media and is built around documentary series and long-running unscripted franchises.
The schedule leans on "Pawn Stars," "Forged in Fire" and "The Curse of Oak Island".
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.
