Peacock is included free if you have XFINITY, and it looks like you will need Peacock Premium instead of NBCSN Gold for games that aren’t live on TV.
Question for all USA based Blues.... Genuine request for help!!

Assumed as much. The makers of NBC Gold weren't going to stop double-dipping all of the sudden.

I wondered what NBC's plans were with this Peacock app. They tried it out one midweek games recently in June. The app is free.

Only the games that last season were shown on NBC Gold are now on Peacock.
The (UK time) Saturday 12.30pm, one 3pm and 5.30pm along with Sunday 1pm and 4pm are still on NBCSN / NBC.
Gold was $50 a season and Peacock for the games is now $4.99 a month. City were only in Gold maybe 4 times last season so will just subscribe for the months we are on

It's easy enough, you'll actually be watching on the iPad or computer and casting it to the telly is all. Download the peacock app on your weapon of choice (ipad, etc) and when you have whatever you are watching on the screen you'll see a little 'cast' icon (like this)
Hit that and it'll throw the picture to the telly...you'll have to set up the chromecast device first, it's simple enough just plug it in to the back of the TV and follow the instructions. Bob's yer uncle, I've watched many a game this way via shadys rivers (thanks mucker ;)

Thank you for saying that in a language that a FOC non-tech geek like myself can understand.Only the games that last season were shown on NBC Gold are now on Peacock.

Yeah NBC gold is no more. Wasn't worth it as City were more often than not on the NBC Sports channel anyway. But now this changes with Peacock. It's ok for me as I have Xfinity who owns NBC anyway so I can get the games streamed. Just don't know how it will work with Chromecast or Roku etc. I'm sure there will be a way. Just don't know it yet. I'm sure there are more knowledgeable folks on here who will know though.

I was visiting London from California on the opening day of the 2007/2008 season and City were away at West Ham. I went to Upton Park hoping I could buy a ticket near the ground. However, I couldn't find anyone selling and I also didn't want to get binned by the police for illegally soliciting a ticket. At this point, I figured I'll just go to a local pub and watch on the screen there. Only, as you have quite rightly pointed out, not all of the matches are shown in the UK. While still figuring out what to do after checking a few pubs, I heard a roar from inside the ground. Unable to find out what had happened, I resorted to calling my brother back in Oregon, who was watching live on tv. He duly informed me that Bianchi had scored in his first City match. Now, I feel lucky that virtually all of the matches are shown live to my living room, even though that often means waking up at 4:30 am for the privilege. Incidentally, I did end up getting in to the ground at the Etihad in February, 2009 for City v. Middlesboro.
