Peacock, which will host tonight’s Miami Dolphins-Kansas City Chiefs NFL playoff game as a national exclusive, is giving reluctant fans another reason to try it out. In a time-limited promotion, Peacock’s one-year plan is now available for 50 percent off. That means you can get the ads-included Peacock for $29.99 for the entire year.

Peacock says the regular annual price ($59.99) will take effect after the one year is over unless you cancel prior to the end of the promotion. (The regular monthly price for the ads-included Peacock is $5.99 a month. The annual promotional discount would average at $2.50 a month.)

The Chiefs-Dolphins game will start tonight at 8 p.m. ET. In addition to the lure of an exclusive playoff game, Peacock announced yesterday that it will debut the box office spectacular, Oppenheimer, on February 16. The streamer today will also show NBC’s broadcast of the Houston Texans-Cleveland Browns playoff game at 4:30 p.m. ET.
