How to Watch Full Episodes and Clips of NBC Shows on NBC.com

NBC.com lets you stream full episodes and clips of current and classic NBC shows directly in your browser, but availability is time-limited and some titles redirect to Peacock instead. To use it, open nbc.com, go to the Latest Episodes section for recently aired full episodes, or use the WATCH NOW buttons on show pages and the homepage for clips, previews, and episodes. Check each listing's expiration label before you start, and expect some content — such as the Friday the 13th prequel Crystal Lake — to be marked "NOW STREAMING ON PEACOCK," meaning you'll need Peacock rather than NBC.com to watch it.

Where full episodes and clips live on NBC.com

The site organizes viewing in a few places:

• Latest Episodes — a rolling list of recently aired full episodes with season/episode numbers and air dates. This is the fastest way to find a full episode that just aired.
• Show pages — each show (e.g., The Voice, Line of Fire, Dateline) has its own page with WATCH NOW buttons for episodes and clips.
• Homepage feature blocks — current highlights like The Voice ("MONDAYS 8/7c") and Line of Fire ("MONDAYS 10/9c") carry WATCH NOW links.
• Clips and trailers — previews and trailers (for example, Peacock trailers for Crystal Lake and Disclosure Day) are listed as short clips, separate from full episodes.

Step-by-step: watching a full episode

1. Open nbc.com in your browser.
2. Scroll to Latest Episodes (or open the specific show's page from the show list or search).
3. Find the episode by show name, season/episode number, and air date. For example, the list shows entries like Meet the Press S79 E43 (10/25/26) and Dateline S35 E5 (10/23/26).
4. Check the label next to the episode before clicking:
   • NEW — recently added.
   • EXPIRING or EXPIRING TODAY — the episode will be removed soon (possibly the same day), so watch it promptly.
   • PREMIERE — a first episode of a new season or show.
5. Click the episode or its WATCH NOW button to start playback.

Expected result: the episode plays in the page's video player. If the title is Peacock-only, you'll instead see a prompt to stream on Peacock.

Watching clips and previews

Clips work the same way but are shorter and usually don't carry expiration labels. Use the Trailers and clip listings (e.g., Crystal Lake trailer, CLIP 10/15/26) or the WATCH NOW buttons on show pages. Clips are useful for previewing a show before committing to a full episode.

What to watch out for

Live and upcoming programming

NBC.com also lists Live & Upcoming events with day, date, and start time — for example, NFL Chiefs vs. Seahawks at 7:00 PM Sunday, October 25, and NBA games the same evening. These listings tell you when something airs; they are a schedule reference rather than an on-demand library, so plan to watch at the listed time through the appropriate live source.

Common snags

• An episode disappeared. It was likely labeled EXPIRING and has been removed; check the show page for the next available episode.
• A WATCH NOW button leads to Peacock. That title is Peacock-exclusive on the site; NBC.com won't play it.
• You can't find an older season. NBC.com emphasizes current and recent episodes; classic shows are listed but full back catalogs aren't guaranteed.
• Nothing plays for a live event. Live sports are time-bound; confirm the listed start time and that the event hasn't ended.

The site doesn't publish pricing or login requirements in the material reviewed here, so treat any sign-in or subscription prompt you encounter as something to verify on the page itself rather than assume it's free or open.
