Netflix May Turn Its App Into A Streaming Hub With Peacock And Fox One

Netflix is reportedly considering opening its app to rival streaming services, with executives discussing ways to bring NBCUniversal’s Peacock and Fox Corporation’s Fox One onto the platform, potentially transforming Netflix into a broader streaming hub.

TL;DR

 

• Netflix executives have reportedly discussed bringing Peacock and Fox One into the Netflix app.
• The company could sell subscriptions to rival services or integrate their programming directly, although no model has been decided.
• Netflix has no imminent deal with either service.
• Its recent TF1 integration in France offers an early example of how third-party programming could work inside Netflix.

Netflix has spent years building one of the world’s largest standalone streaming services, but it could soon take a page from platforms such as Amazon Prime Video and Roku by giving viewers access to rival services without leaving its app.

According to The Verge, citing a report from The New York Times, Netflix executives have discussed making Peacock and Fox One available through Netflix. However, it remains unclear whether Netflix would sell subscriptions to the two services or directly integrate their content into its existing catalogue.

Gadgets 360 similarly reported that the discussions remain exploratory and that Netflix has not settled on how such an arrangement would operate. Most importantly, there is currently no imminent deal involving Peacock or Fox One, while Netflix declined to comment on the reported discussions.

Digital Trends also reported that Netflix is exploring the possibility of rival streaming services joining its app, while emphasizing that no deal has been reached yet.

Netflix Has Already Tested Third-Party Content With TF1

While bringing major rival streaming services into Netflix would represent a significant change, the underlying idea is not entirely new for the company.

Netflix has already integrated programming from French broadcaster TF1 into its service in France. The partnership gives Netflix members access to TF1 live channels and on-demand programming directly through Netflix, without requiring them to leave the app. Netflix originally announced the agreement with TF1 Group in June 2025, with the service scheduled to become available in France in summer 2026.

Hypebeast described the TF1 arrangement as a potential blueprint for Netflix becoming a more centralized destination for streaming content from outside providers.

More importantly, Netflix appears satisfied with the experiment so far.

During the company’s Q2 2026 earnings call, Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said the TF1 integration was only around four weeks old but that early member engagement was “very promising.” He said Netflix would remain open to other arrangements that create value for viewers, partners and the company itself.

“If we see additional deals that similarly serve our members that work for our partner, that work for us, we’ll certainly consider them,” Peters said.

Interestingly, the same earnings-call question specifically asked Netflix about bundling with services such as Peacock or building a streaming-channel store that could compete with Amazon, YouTube and Roku. Peters did not announce such a product, but said Netflix has consistently sought ways to expand its entertainment offering.

Netflix Could Become A Storefront For Streaming Services

Amazon Prime Video and Roku already allow customers to subscribe to outside streaming services through their respective platforms, effectively turning their interfaces into storefronts for competing content.

YouTube is moving in a similar direction. The Verge and Gadgets 360 noted that YouTube is expected to include access to Peacock through YouTube Premium next year.

 

For Netflix, adopting such a model could give subscribers a single place to discover and access more programming while giving third-party streaming companies access to Netflix’s enormous audience and recommendation platform.

However, Peacock and Fox One are not coming to Netflix just yet. There is no confirmed partnership, subscription model, launch date or pricing structure at this stage.

For now, Netflix’s TF1 experiment offers the clearest indication of how the company could evolve from a standalone streaming service into a broader gateway for television and streaming content.
