Discover streaming choices, trial offers and episode highlights for Connor Storrie's SNL hosting debut with Mumford & Sons on Feb. 28

Saturday Night Live will air live Saturday, Feb. 28 at 11:30 p.m. ET / 8:30 p.m. PT on NBC — hosted for the first time by Connor Storrie, with Mumford & Sons as the musical guest. If you don’t have cable, there are several reliable streaming routes to catch the show live (and Peacock will add the episode for next‑day streaming).

What to expect
– Host: Connor Storrie — his first time on the SNL stage, following his breakout role in the hockey drama Heated Rivalry. Expect sketches tailored to that persona.
– Musical guest: Mumford & Sons — a full live set that will also factor into promotional and streaming attention.
– Air time: Saturday, Feb. 28 — 11:30 p.m. ET / 8:30 p.m. PT (live on NBC; next‑day on Peacock).

How to watch live (streaming options)
If you rely on streaming instead of a traditional cable package, these services commonly carry NBC live. Availability and promotional offers change often, so double‑check your account and the fine print before the broadcast.

• – Peacock – Official streaming home for SNL’s next‑day episodes. – Offers tiered plans (including a Premium ad‑supported option). Peacock’s own free‑trial policies vary, but Peacock access is sometimes bundled into partner promotions (for example, certain Instacart+ or Walmart+ promotions have previously included Peacock benefits for limited trial windows).

• – Hulu + Live TV – Carries NBC in its live channel lineup and is often bundled with Disney+ and ESPN+. – New‑user trial windows have appeared in marketing (short — often a few days), so timing the trial start to include the broadcast is crucial to avoid unwanted charges.

• – Virtual MVPDs (live TV services) – Sling (NBC is available in Sling Blue), DirecTV Stream, and other vMVPDs typically include NBC as part of channel packages. – These services frequently run promotional pricing or short trial/intro offers for new subscribers that could cover a single live event.

• – Other partner offers – Some non‑streaming services or retailer bundles occasionally include temporary Peacock access (e.g., past bundles with Instacart+ or Walmart+). These promotions can give temporary, no‑cost access if the bundle explicitly lists Peacock benefits.

Practical tips to avoid surprises
– Confirm NBC is included in the channel lineup for your region — not every service carries the same local affiliate in every market.
– If you plan to use a free trial, start it so the trial window covers the Feb. 28 broadcast date. Note the trial length and cancellation deadline to avoid charges.
– Partner bundles that include Peacock may require activation steps; check partner terms to see whether live NBC access is included or only next‑day episodes.
– If you encounter blackouts or unavailable local streams, try Peacock next day or check local affiliate listings for options.

Why this episode matters
Booking a rising dramatic actor like Storrie alongside an established band is a strategic test: it can attract viewers from streaming drama audiences while giving the network fresh sketch material tied to his on‑screen persona. For streamers and platforms, event episodes are prime opportunities to drive short‑term trials and measure conversion rates.

After the show
Peacock typically adds SNL episodes to its on‑demand catalog the day after broadcast. Expect post‑show clips, reviews and social highlights to circulate quickly; networks and streaming partners often monitor viewership and trial conversions closely and may adjust future promotions based on results.

m. ET / 8:30 p.m. PT on Feb. 28, or stream via a carrier that includes NBC (Peacock for next‑day viewing). If you’re using a trial or partner bundle, verify eligibility and timing now so you don’t miss Connor Storrie’s hosting debut and Mumford & Sons’ performance.
