Understanding Peacock code activation
When activating peacocktv.com/tv/samsung on a Samsung Smart TV, the sixdigit code shown on the TV is only a link between that specific device and your Peacock account. Instead of typing this code on the TV itself, you must enter it on the official Peacock activation page using a web browser on your phone, tablet, or computer. This method makes signin faster and avoids having to type long emails and passwords with the TV remote.
Step 1: Install and open Peacock on Samsung
To get the activation code, Peacock must be installed and opened on your Samsung Smart TV. On compatible Samsung models (usually 2017 or newer), press the Home button on your remote, go to “Apps,” use the search bar to find “Peacock,” then select and install the app if it is not already installed. Once installed, open the Peacock app from the Home or Apps screen to access the welcome or login options.
Step 2: Navigate to the “Sign In” or “Activate Device” option
On the Peacock welcome screen on your Samsung TV, look for a “Sign In” or similar option, which is often shown in the topright corner or as a main button. In many newer layouts, Peacock will show choices such as “Sign in with email” and “Sign in with an activation code” or “Activate on a device.” Choose the option that mentions a code or device activation so that the TV can generate your unique activation code.
Step 3: Note the sixdigit code shown on the TV
After selecting the activation option, the Samsung TV screen displays a onetime sixdigit code plus a short instruction telling you to visit a Peacock activation website. This code is temporary and timelimited, so keep the screen active and do not close the app or switch inputs while you complete the process on another device. If the code expires or disappears, you can always return to the same “Sign In” or “Activate device” option to generate a new one.
Step 4: Go to peacocktv.com/tv on your phone or computer
Now move to a device with a browser, such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop PC. In the browser’s address bar, type the official activation URL “peacocktv.com/tv” and open the page; this is where you will enter the code shown on your Samsung TV. Make sure you use the correct address and avoid lookalike or unofficial websites to keep your account details secure.
Step 5: Sign in to your Peacock account
On the activation webpage, Peacock usually asks you to sign in with your email address and password if you are not already logged in. Enter the same account credentials you plan to use for streaming on your Samsung TV, or create a new Peacock account on the site if you are a new user. Once you are logged in on the activation page, you will see a field where you can type the code from your TV.
Step 6: Enter the code and complete activation
In the input box on peacocktv.com/tv, type the exact sixdigit activation code that is currently visible on your Samsung TV screen. After confirming the code (usually by clicking “Continue,” “Activate,” or a similar button), the website links your Samsung TV with your Peacock account if the code is still valid. Within a few seconds, the Peacock app on your Samsung TV refreshes and logs you in automatically, showing your home screen, profiles, and content rows.

Where exactly do you “enter” the code?
Many users expect to type the code directly on the Samsung TV using the remote, but Peacock’s design works differently. Instead, you always enter the activation code into the box on the peacocktv.com/tv webpage while the TV just displays the code and waits for confirmation. If you do not see a code field on the website, scroll or make sure you have completed signin, because the code entry often appears right after account login.
What if your TV shows a different URL like peacocktv.com/samsung?
Some guides and older instructions refer to URLs such as peacocktv.com/samsung or peacocktv.com/tv/samsung, but they ultimately redirect to the same type of activation experience. If your Samsung TV screen specifically lists a URL beneath the code, always follow that exact address, as it is tailored to your device or promotion. The page you see will still contain a field to enter the activation code and a signin prompt for your Peacock account.

Using email and password instead of a code
On some Samsung TV models or app versions, Peacock also allows signin directly with email and password without using a code. In that case, you can select the “Sign in with email” option on the TV and type your details using the remote, bypassing the need for peacocktv.com/tv entirely. However, most users find the code method faster and easier, especially if they have complex passwords.
Troubleshooting if the code does not work
If the activation code fails, expires, or produces an error, there are a few common fixes you can try. First, refresh the code by backing out of the Peacock app on the TV, reopening it, and choosing the activation or signin with code option again. Second, doublecheck that you typed the code correctly on the website and that you are using the correct Peacock account email.

If problems continue, restart your Samsung TV and your router, then try the activation process a second time. You can also try using a different browser or device to visit peacocktv.com/tv in case there is a temporary browser issue. If none of these steps work, checking Peacock’s help section for signin and activation issues can reveal any known outages or account problems.
