On Friday (May 1, 2026), United Airlines announced the launch of a new, dedicated inflight entertainment (IFE) channel featuring content from NBCUniversal's streaming home, Peacock, bringing fan-favorite series onboard.  The new channel will be available on over 160,000 seatback screens and on personal devices via the United mobile app starting today, with new Peacock originals added regularly.  Select episodes of shows available at launch include fan favorites such as The Traitors (Season 4), All Her Fault, The Paper and Poker Face.  Episodes of additional titles, including The Copenhagen Test and Ponies, are expected to roll out in June.


In Friday’s announcement, United Airlines’ Director of Inflight Entertainment, Dominic Green, said,


“Entertainment plays a central role in the onboard customer experience, and we're continuing to expand both the quality and variety of what's available.  With these popular series from Peacock, we're introducing a standout lineup of widely recognized series to our seatback screens and personal device entertainment, further strengthening our premium inflight entertainment offering and giving customers more engaging ways to spend their time in the air.”


The addition of Peacock builds on United’s continued investment in their IFE experience, with a library that includes more than 450 movies, over 1,000 TV episodes, 100+ international titles and more than 140 hours of podcast content.  United offers one of the most extensive selections of premium entertainment content of any U.S. airline, including Apple TV, HBO Max, A24 and Spotify.  The carrier leads the industry in IFE technology with more than 800 planes equipped with Bluetooth audio enabled seatback screens, more than any other airline.  United is also rolling out new airplanes with 27-inch, 4K OLED seatback screens, the largest among U.S. carriers.
