Is the NBC App Truly Free?

Accessing Premium Content
While the app is free, some video content, including long-form full episodes and short-form clips, requires authentication. This means you need to sign in with your TV service provider credentials to unlock access to these specific parts of the content library.
Essentially:
- Downloading and basic access to the NBC App: Free.
- Watching some video content: Requires a subscription to a participating TV service provider (e.g., cable, satellite, or live TV streaming service) that includes NBC. The cost for this content is bundled within your existing TV service subscription, not an additional fee from NBC.
Here's a quick overview of what's free and what requires authentication:
| Aspect | Requirement/Cost |
|---|---|
| NBC App Download | Free |
| Basic App Access | Free |
| Select Video Clips | Free (some available without login) |
| Long-form Full Episodes | TV Service Provider Login Required |
| Additional Short Clips | TV Service Provider Login Required (for some) |
