Streaming just got cheaper: Score Black Friday deals on Hulu, HBO Max, Apple TV, Disney+, and more
As Black Friday approaches, streaming enthusiasts can rejoice at the array of incredible deals available this year. With many major streaming platforms having increased their subscription prices in 2025, these discounts provide a much-needed reprieve for budget-conscious viewers. This year’s standout offer is HBO Max, which is available for just $2.99 per month for 12 months, allowing users to save a whopping $8 each month. This promotion not only extends the subscription length compared to previous years but also offers substantial savings following recent price hikes. HBO Max is home to a variety of popular content, including original series like *The Last of Us* and *IT: Welcome to Derry*, making this deal particularly enticing for new and returning subscribers alike.
In addition to HBO Max, other notable streaming deals include a bundle of Disney+ and Hulu for only $4.99 per month for 12 months, which represents a significant savings of $8 monthly. This bundle is especially appealing as both services are expected to merge into a single platform in the future, likely at a higher price point. Apple TV+ is also offering a discounted rate of $5.99 per month for six months, a significant drop from its recent price of $12.99, providing access to award-winning original content. For those looking for free streaming options, Walmart+ members can enjoy a complimentary year of either Peacock or Paramount+ with their membership, effectively reducing the cost of the service to just $49 for the entire year.
While these deals are primarily aimed at new and returning subscribers, they present an excellent opportunity to lock in lower rates ahead of potential future price increases. With the streaming landscape continuously evolving, taking advantage of Black Friday deals could lead to substantial savings and access to a wealth of entertainment options. As the week progresses, more deals may emerge, making it a prime time for consumers to explore their streaming choices and secure the best possible rates for their favorite services.

This has been a rough year for bank accounts overall, and
streaming services
aren’t helping. Nearly every major
streamer
got more expensive in 2025, including
Netflix
,
Peacock
,
HBO Max
,
Apple TV+
,
YouTube TV
,
Disney+
,
Hulu
, and
Paramount+
. So needless to say, we’re extra excited about this year’s Black Friday streaming deals. We could all use some discounts, amirite?
Black Friday
is famously the best time of year to sign up for streaming services, as you can typically score some serious savings on monthly or annual subscription fees. And we’re pleased to report that this year is no different. If you’re looking for a way to cut back on streaming costs for 2026, now’s a great time to take advantage of majorly discounted subscriptions.

Unlock Peacock for free this Black Friday — here’s how to stream for free
Apple TV+,
HBO Max
,
Disney+, and Hulu
have all already thrown their hats in the ring, as have tons of other streamers in the form of Prime Video add-ons. So you can start weighing all of your streaming options for the season. However, we’re still waiting on Peacock to join in on the fun.
One thing to note: most Black Friday streaming deals are limited to new and returning subscribers (as in you haven’t been a subscriber in
at least
a month or so). If you qualify, you can lock in some serious savings on streaming apps.

Black Friday
streaming deals currently live — we’ll be updating this list throughout the week with any other deals we think are worth it.

HBO Max
$2.99/month for 12 months (save $8/month)
Get Deal
Why we like it
In a shocking turn of events, the HBO Max Black Friday deal in 2025 actually beats its streaming deal from 2024 and 2023. This year,
new and returning subscribers can sign up for 12 months of HBO Max Basic with ads for $2.99 per month through Dec. 1.
That’s just $35.88 for the whole year and about 73% in savings. In 2023 and 2024, the streamer only offered this discounted price for six months. So, not only are you getting double the subscription length for a discount, but you’re also saving even more after its
recent price hike
(up to $10.99/month from $9.99/month).
The
Warner Bros. Discovery-owned streaming service
is one of our favorites. Not only is it home to Warner Bros. films, but also new A24 theatrical releases, a ton of excellent original series (like
The Last of Us
,
The Pitt
, and
IT: Welcome to Derry
), and even live sports via the B/R Sports add-on.
Psst: If you don’t want to deal with logging into another streaming service, this deal is also available in the form of a
Prime Video
or
Hulu add-on
.

Disney+ and Hulu (with ads)
$4.99/month for 12 months (save $8/month)
Get Deal
Why we like it
While we’re pretty disappointed that Hulu didn’t resurrect its 99 cents deal for 2025, this
bundle deal
almost
makes up for it.
Through Dec. 1, new and returning subscribers can score both Disney+ and Hulu with ads for just $4.99 per month for 12 months
. Usually $12.99 per month for both, that’s $8 per month in savings or $96 total. We saw the same bundle drop to only $2.99 during Black Friday 2024, but both streamers raised their prices this year, so the Black Friday deal has been appropriately adjusted for inflation. And considering each streamer is $11.99 per month on its own, this is an excellent deal. It’s also a good way to lock in a solid price for the year since
Disney and Hulu will eventually be merged
into a single app — with a higher price tag, no doubt. And hey, maybe we’ll still be surprised with the 99-cent Hulu Black Friday deal.
Best Black Friday Apple TV deal

Apple TV+
$5.99/month for 6 months (save $42)
Get Deal
Why we like it
Apple TV+, just like several other streamers,
raised its subscription cost
by 30 percent a few months back — from $9.99 to $12.99 per month. So this deal, which
knocks the price down to only $5.99 per month for half a year
, is much
appreciated.
You can take advantage of this deal
directly at Apple TV+
or
in the form of a Prime Video add-on
, meaning you need to be a Prime member or Prime Video subscriber.
Apple TV+ features a virtually
all-original lineup
filled with Emmy-winners like
The Studio
,
Ted Lasso
,
Severance
, and
The Morning Show
and Oscar-winners and nominees like
CODA
and
Killers of the Flower Moon
. TL;DR: You’ll get more than your money’s worth with this Black Friday deal.

Sling Orange Day Pass

Save $3.99
Get Deal
Why we like it
Sling’s Day Pass is a solid way to tune into live sports, events, and shows without having to splurge on a full subscription. Sometimes you just want to watch a single game and be on your way. It’s usually $4.99 for a day, but for Black Friday,
Sling is offering its Orange Day Pass for only $1 through Dec. 1 at 3 a.m. ET
. The Orange package includes ESPN and all its affiliates, TNT, TBS, AMC, IFC, and more. That means you’ll be able to tune into live college football rivalry games on ESPN this weekend — like Georgia Tech vs. Georgia on Friday and Vanderbilt vs. Tennessee and Alabama vs. Auburn on Saturday — for just a buck.

Spotify Premium
Free for 4 months (save $11.99/month)
Get Deal
Why we like it
It’s not uncommon to see Amazon offering its music streaming service, Amazon Music Unlimited, for free during shopping events (this year, you can
get three free months
). It is, however, quite rare for Spotify to offer its Premium service for free.
Through Dec. 31, new subscribers can
score four free months of Spotify Premium
, no questions asked. Typically $11.99 per month, that saves you nearly $50 total.
With a Premium account, you can enjoy ad-free listening, collaborate with friends in real time, download music for offline listening, get full control over your music and playlists, unlock 15 hours per month of audiobook time, and finally enjoy
lossless audio
. You’ll also gain access to the famous
Wrapped
stats and new
weekly listening stats
.

Why we like it
If you already have a Walmart+ membership, or if you were considering signing up to take advantage of the
Walmart Black Friday 2025 sale
, then you’ll
unlock free access to either Peacock or Paramount+ for one year
. Even better, Walmart+ memberships are currently 50% off for Black Friday, so you’ll pay just $49 for 12 months of access. On top of these streaming deals, you’ll also get perks like free grocery and pharmacy delivery. If you’re not interested in a Walmart+ membership, we’re still holding out for the standalone Peacock Black Friday deal, but you can already get the Paramount+ Black Friday deal on its own.

We spotted this deal a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t believe our eyes. Amazon is practically giving away Fire TV Sticks — but, of course, there’s a catch. The code
STREAM4K
drops the Fire TV Stick 4K Select’s price down to $9.99, from $39.99, but only select customers are eligible. Test out the code for yourself, and see if you can score an Amazon streaming stick for $10.
