Universal+ (pronounced as Universal Plus) is an international brand used for a group of pay-per-view subscription television channels and the eponymous streaming service, owned by NBCUniversal, functioning as a localized version of the American streaming service Peacock. Originating from the United States, the service is available in regions including the British Isles, France, Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Japan. It is provided as part of the service on regional platforms such as JioTV in India, Claro TV in Brazil, U-Next in Japan, and DStv in Sub-Saharan Africa, and can also be streamed on Amazon Prime Video. Consumers in Sub-Saharan Africa are able to stream the service on the DStv platform.
On 17 October 2022, NBCUniversal announced that Universal+ would be launched in France, stating that it uses the same content and platform as the American streaming service Peacock, essentially presenting it as a French version of Peacock. The service was launched on 17 November 2022. In October 2026, Universal+ made its first fully-loaded launch in the Asia-Pacific region through an exclusive partnership with the Japanese streaming platform U-Next.
