What the Peacock code on Samsung actually does
The Peacock code shown on a Samsung Smart TV is a devicelink code, often six characters long, generated when you choose to sign in using a web browser instead of entering your email and password on the TV. When you submit this code on the activation site, Peacock links that specific Samsung TV to your subscription so it can access your profiles, watch history, and plan details. Because of this design, the correct place to enter the code is always online, not in any Samsung TV setting menu visit peacocktv.com/tv/samsung.
Requirements before you start
Before entering the code, make sure your Samsung Smart TV and your other device both have active internet connections. You also need a Peacock account, which can be free with ads or a paid plan depending on your region and promotions. Having your account email and password ready on your phone or computer will make the activation smoother.
Opening Peacock on your Samsung TV
Turn on your Samsung Smart TV and press the Home button on your remote to open the Smart Hub interface. If Peacock is already installed, you will see it among your Apps or on the main bar; highlight it and press Enter to open. If you do not see Peacock, go into “Apps,” search for “Peacock,” and install it so you can continue to the activation screen.
Getting the activation code on the TV
Once the Peacock app opens for the first time or after you log out, you will see options to sign in or create an account. Select the signin method that mentions using a code, often labeled “Sign in with a code,” “Activate on a device,” or similar wording. The TV then displays a large code and a short instruction line that tells you which web address to visit.
The exact website where you enter the code
Most Samsung TV users will be directed to the generic address peacocktv.com/tv, which is the standard device activation portal. In some cases, especially with Samsungspecific offers, the TV might mention peacocktv.com/samsung or peacocktv.com/tv/samsung instead, but these addresses also route you to a page where a code can be entered. Whatever URL appears under the code on your TV is the correct place to go in your browser to start activation.
Signing in on the activation site
On your phone or computer, open a browser like Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox and type the activation URL exactly as shown on your TV. After the page loads, sign in with your Peacock account if prompted by entering your email and password and confirming any security checks. Once you are logged in, the page reveals an input box asking for the activation code from your TV.
Entering and confirming the Samsung TV code
Carefully type the code from your Samsung TV screen into the field on the activation website, paying attention to any numbers and letters. Because codes are caseinsensitive in most activation systems, capitalization usually does not matter, but copying it exactly as it appears is still recommended. After you click the confirm or activate button, the site validates the code and, if accepted, links your Samsung TV to your account within moments.

What you will see on your Samsung TV after activation
Once activation is successful, the Peacock app on your Samsung TV automatically updates from the code screen to your account’s main homepage. You will see available profiles, featured shows, movies, and categories like “Channels” or “Sports” depending on your region and plan. From here you can start streaming without entering any further information on the TV.
If the code page will not load
Sometimes the activation page may not load properly on your browser or may return an error. In such cases, try refreshing the page, using a different browser, or switching from mobile data to WiFi (or vice versa) to rule out network issues. You should also verify that you entered the address as “peacocktv.com/tv” (or the exact URL shown on your TV) without typos.
If the Samsung TV code keeps expiring
Activation codes are timelimited for security, so if you spend too long on another screen, the code may expire and fail when entered. When that happens, simply return to the Peacock app on the Samsung TV, choose the signin with code option again, and let the app generate a fresh code. Enter the new code at peacocktv.com/tv right away to avoid another expiry.

Alternative: entering details directly on the Samsung TV
If you prefer not to use a second device, you can bypass the activation code and instead select “Sign in with email” (or similar wording) on the Samsung Peacock app. In that flow, you type your email and password with the remote on the TV’s onscreen keyboard, and the app logs you in without using peacocktv.com/tv at all. Functionally, both methods give the same result; using the code is just quicker for most people who already have a phone or computer handy.

Summary answer to “Where do I enter the code?”
For Samsung users, the Peacock code is always entered on the web, not within a Samsung settings menu or directly on the TV login screen. After opening Peacock on the Samsung TV and choosing to sign in with a code, you must visit peacocktv.com/tv (or the specific URL shown on your TV) on a phone or computer and type the code there to complete activation. Once that step is done, your Samsung TV signs in automatically and is ready for streaming.
