    Peacock will be the first streamer to integrate everything Dolby has to offer.

    Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos availability will be extended across Peacock’s live sports throughout 2026, and the streamer has committed to supporting Dolby Vision 2 and the Dolby AC-4 audio codec when they launch later in the year.

    While there currently aren’t any Dolby Vision 2-capable TVs, we’re expecting to see some release in 2026.
