Comcast's Peacock streaming service has recorded its first ever quarterly profit, according to the company. The milestone was driven by the FIFA World Cup and the reality series Love Island USA.

Updates

Peacock added 2 million subscribers during the second quarter of 2026. While the streaming service achieved its first-ever profit, Comcast reported a decline in overall company profit for the same period. Additionally, Comcast successfully reduced its losses in domestic broadband subscribers, with NBCUniversal's studio segment performing as a key driver of strength ahead of the company's planned business split.
