How to stream Days of Our Lives? All streaming options explored

Days of Our Lives is one of the longest-running soaps on American daytime television. It started airing on NBC in 1965 and aired live on weekdays until 2022. Since then, the soap has transitioned to an online streaming format. From 2022 till the present day, Days of Our Lives has been streaming online on Peacock.

Created by Ted and Betty Corday, the show is still produced by Corday Productions. Initially, the show focused on the Brady and Horton families, but over time, the DiMera and Kiriakis families also became central to the storyline. The soap gained popularity among viewers, and the episode runtime was increased from 30 to 60 minutes in 1975, and it continues with that format to this day.

What is Peacock? How to stream Days of Our Lives on the OTT platform?

Peacock is the OTT streaming service on which episodes of Days of Our Lives are currently released. The platform is owned by NBC Media Group, the channel that previously aired the soap on daytime television. Peacock was launched in 2020, and NBC started shifting a lot of its programming online after the COVID-19 pandemic hit full force.

Peacock has a library of news, sports, original programming, and television shows. While some of the broadcasts are free and supported by in-stream advertising, the platform also has a subscription policy. Days of Our Lives falls under the subscription section.

Viewers interested in watching the soap can register on the site and purchase a subscription based on the plans offered, which may vary from one region to another.

Additionally, it is important to remember that Peacock only has episodes of the soap from 2022 onwards. Many older episodes, aired on television and shot on film reels, have not been digitized and are not available through official sources. However, many soap fans keep unofficial archives of the previously telecasted seasons, which may be found on platforms like YouTube.
