United Airlines announced the expansion of its in-flight entertainment system featuring content from NBCUniversal’s Peacock streaming service.

More than 800 aircraft will be equipped with seatback screens along with personal devices available through United’s mobile app starting May 1, 2026. Select episodes of shows include The Traitors (Season 4), All Her Fault, The Paper, and Poker Face, with the Copenhagen Test and Ponies expected to roll out in June.

The Peacock channel builds on United’s in-flight entertainment experience with a library featuring more than 450 movies, over 1,000 TV episodes, more than 100 international titles, over 140 hours of podcast content, along with Apple TV, HBO Max, A24 and Spotify streaming.

More than 800 planes are also equipped with Bluetooth audio-enabled seatback screens, and the airline is rolling out new aircraft with 27-inch, 4K OLED screens—the largest among U.S. carriers.

"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," said Dominic Green, Director of Inflight Entertainment at United Airlines, in a statement.

He added, "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."
