Peacock will automatically charge your credit card every billing period without sending you a reminder, unless you cancel before the renewal date.
Your payment method will be charged automatically at the start of each new subscription period with no advance warning, meaning you could be billed for a service tier you no longer use if you forget to cancel in time.

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision is directly regulated by the FTC's Negative Option Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 425), which was significantly updated in 2024 to require clear and conspicuous disclosure of negative option terms before obtaining billing information, simple cancellation mechanisms, and annual reminders for annual subscriptions. California's Automatic Renewal Law (ARL, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 17600-17606) requires advance disclosure and affirmative consent before charging auto-renewal fees; the California AG and private plaintiffs actively enforce this statute. New York GBL § 527 and similar state ARLs in Delaware, Illinois, and other states also apply. The FTC Act Section 5 covers deceptive billing practices broadly. (2)
