NEW YORK, June 23, 2021 - NBCUniversal and Amazon announced today that Peacock will launch on Amazon Fire TV and Fire tablets in the U.S. starting Thursday, June 24th. The Peacock app will bring thousands of hours of on-demand movies and shows, as well as live news and sports programming, to tens of millions of Fire TV and Fire tablet customers nationwide.

"We aim to make Peacock as widely available as possible, so we're excited to bring the service to millions more people who stream on Fire TV and Fire tablets," said Maggie McLean Suniewick, President, Business Development and Partnerships, Direct-to-Consumer. "Amazon customers will find amazing content to stream this summer on Peacock from the Tokyo Olympics to The Boss Baby: Family Business."

In addition to adding Peacock to Fire TV and Fire tablets, NBCUniversal and Amazon reached a distribution agreement for NBCUniversal's network apps. NBCUniversal's 15 network apps on these Amazon devices include NBC, Bravo, NBC News, NBC Sports and Telemundo, among others.

"We look forward to building on our existing partnership with Fire TV's millions of customers and offering them Peacock's undeniable line-up of original, library and film content," said Matt Bond, Chairman, Content Distribution, NBCUniversal. "This marks another great step in reaching audiences everywhere with the breadth of NBCUniversal's full entertainment, film, Hispanic, news and sports portfolio."
