The 2025 World Aquatics Championships are finally upon us. The 22nd edition of the meet kicks off today in Singapore, with women’s water polo getting underway.

Over the course of about three weeks, we’ll see diving, pool swimming, open water swimming, water polo, and artistic swimming all take their turn in the spotlight. For those in the United States, the broadcaster directing that spotlight is NBC.

For the entire championships, Peacock will have live coverage of the events. The platform is pay-to-watch and offers two subscription plans: Premium and Premium Plus. Premium, which includes ads, costs $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year. Premium Plus, which is ad-free and includes access to your local NBC channel, costs $13.99 per month or $139.99 per year.

Below is Peacock’s live coverage schedule for all disciplines at the championships, as well as the dates for each of the sports. All times are in ET, so you may have to do some math depending on your time zone. Note that for those in the U.S., swimming prelims are in the evening (and early hours of the morning), while finals are in the morning.

We’ll publish additional information about how to watch pool swimming–including outside the U.S.–as we get closer to the start of that event on July 26th.

Put it on NBC. Don’t make us pay for Peacock – your Olympics coverage was lousy and had spoilers on the home page.

Quite inconsiderate for Singapore to be in a distant time zone.

We Singaporeans have to stay up when we’re catching sports events in Europe and the Americas. And the most fervent sports fans do it on a regular basis (especially when European football is in season).

Is it confirmed that Peacock will live broadcast the swimming prelims sessions? None of that nonsense like they had with short course worlds where Peacock only aired finals.
