The best streaming deals can save you money on your next subscription. From introductory offers like free trials to discounted annual plans and bundled platforms, we don't believe there is a need to subscribe to all the best streaming services under the sun. Find an excellent promotion with our guide to the best streaming service deals, binge your way through its catalog, pause or cancel, and move onto the next.

The biggest savings we're seeing this month are for bundled Disney Plus price plans and some limited-time Paramount Plus offers still around from Cyber Monday streaming deals. For instance, Sling is offering a Paramount Plus with Showtime subscription add-on. We'd definitely recommend its more premium plan as it throws together Paramount Plus and Showtime for double the content, and gets you 12 months for the price of 10 at just $119.99 a year. Where bundles are concerned, Max was recently added to the Disney Plus bundle. For those who don't want live sports but do want triple the entertainment, the bundle throws together Disney Plus, Hulu, and Max for never ending boxsets and movies.

Cable-cutting dream Sling TV has also brought back its 50% off your first month deal, and there are a bunch of other great offers from the cord cutter, too, for boosted on-demand content. Miss out on the half price deal, save $10 on your baseline package and throw in Premium Pass for a whole month of free content from services like Paramount Plus, STARZ, and AMC Plus. Don't forget Philo also always offers a 7-day free trial. However, if you want an even more extensive cord cutter option, FuboTV is the one to go for and has a generous trial period, too.

From free trials to discounted rates and new subscriber offers, find all this and the latest streaming deals currently live across the likes of Disney Plus, Hulu, and more below. Make sure to also check any leftover Black Friday Hulu deals that are still available for even more great savings.

Streaming deals FAQs

What is the best streaming deal right now?

Truthfully, it comes down to personal preference where the best streaming deal is concerned. Some streaming services will offer an exceptional discount on their plans, but their content won't be to certain people's tastes.

Those looking for a cheaper alternative to cable, Sling TV has you covered with its current 50% off deal across all its plans.

If you simply want a selection of great on-demand entertainment, we cannot recommend the Disney Plus bundle enough. Get Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus for just $14.99 a month with ads, or opt out of commercials for $19.99 a month.

With Paramount Plus and Showtime now merged under Paramount Plus' Premium plan, sign up for just $11.99 a month, or $119.99 annually.

Which streaming service is the cheapest?

When we bring it down to numerical value, Paramount Plus and Peacock TV are the cheapest streaming services out there for US customers, with both offering baseline plans from $5.99 a month. However, it does come down to personal preference. What some might deem entertaining, others may see as utter trash.

Apple TV Plus is great value for money at $9.99 a month. While its library still remains fairly streamlined, you can't argue that there is hefty budget put behind its productions and their big-name casting.

Are you able to bundle Hulu with other services?

Of course, Hulu is a part of the excellent value Disney Plus bundle – and its offering just got even better and more versatile. Not only can you chosoe to bundle Hulu with Disney Plus and ESPN Plus for just $14.99 a month (or pay $9.99 a month for just Hulu and Disney Plus), streaming service Max is now involved in one of the best streaming deals going. Get Disney Plus, Hulu, and Max from $16.99 a month.

You also have the option of adding on a number of excellent services to your standalone Hulu subscription. Choose between Max, Cinemax, Showtime, and Starz, or have a combination of all four depending on what you want to be able to watch. In some cases, you'll even be able to trial these services before paying.

Which streaming service is the best in 2024?

The best streaming service that reigns supreme across both sides of the Atlantic is Netflix, offering a wealth of great movies and TV shows as well as its own, hugely popular Original series. It also offers different plans to cater for what you want and how much you're willing to pay.

While Netflix is the obvious choice, for those in the States, Max and Hulu are full of incredibly gritty entertainment. For international subscribers, you can get Star on Disney Plus, which essentially consists of imports from Hulu, including The Dropout, The Bear, and The Kardashians.
