Streaming just got cheaper: Black Friday deals on Hulu, HBO Max, Apple TV, Disney+, Netflix, and more

By Eric December 1, 2025

As Black Friday wraps up, streaming enthusiasts can rejoice as many fantastic deals remain available, leading into Cyber Monday. This year’s holiday shopping event has proven to be a treasure trove for those looking to save on their favorite streaming services. With significant price hikes across major platforms like Netflix, HBO Max, and Disney+ in 2025, consumers are eager to take advantage of discounted subscription options that promise to ease the financial burden of binge-watching. Notably, many of these deals will be available until December 1, giving viewers a chance to secure substantial savings as they finalize their streaming choices for the upcoming year.

Among the standout offers, HBO Max is leading the pack with its incredible deal of just $2.99 per month for the first year—an impressive 73% discount compared to its regular pricing. This promotion allows new and returning subscribers to enjoy a full year of content, including popular series like “The Last of Us” and live sports, making it a compelling option for fans of diverse programming. Additionally, the Disney+ and Hulu bundle is available for $4.99 per month, effectively providing access to two beloved platforms at a fraction of the usual cost. For those interested in music, Spotify Premium is currently offering four months free, a rarity that allows users to enjoy ad-free listening and exclusive content without any initial investment.

Other noteworthy deals include Apple TV+ for $5.99 per month for six months, a significant reduction from its usual price, and the Roku Streaming Stick Plus for just $19, making it a great time to upgrade streaming devices. While some major players like Netflix and Peacock have opted out of the Black Friday frenzy, savvy shoppers can still find ways to save, especially with bundled offers and add-ons through platforms like Prime Video. Overall, the ongoing Cyber Monday deals present an excellent opportunity for consumers to secure their favorite streaming services at unbeatable prices, ensuring that they can enjoy their favorite shows and movies without breaking the bank.

It’s been a tough year to be a
streaming binge-watcher
. Almost 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 were extra excited about this year’s selection of Black Friday streaming deals. We could all use some discounts, right? The good news is that even with Black Friday itself done and dusted, the deals are still available as we head into Cyber Monday.
The
Black Friday
sale event is well known as the best time to sign up for streaming services, thanks to serious savings on monthly or annual subscription fees. This year has been no different. If you’re looking for a way to cut back on streaming costs for 2026, there’s still time to take advantage of majorly discounted subscriptions.

Apple TV+
,
HBO Max
,
Disney+, and Hulu
have all thrown their hats in the ring with Cyber Monday deals, as have plenty of other streamers via Prime Video add-ons. So you can weigh all of your streaming options for the season. Plus, you still have time to sign up. Most of these offers will be live through Dec. 1.
There are two glaring omissions from this year’s Black Friday streaming offers: Netflix and Peacock. Netflix never offers deals, so this comes as no surprise. Peacock, on the other hand, typically offers one of the best Black Friday streaming deals. It’s extra disappointing, as the streamer had one of the biggest price hikes in 2025. We included a way you can still get a deal on Peacock below, despite its lack of Cyber Week participation.
One thing to note: Most Cyber Monday 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.
Best Cyber Monday streaming deal overall

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/Cyber Monday 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 deal for Cyber Monday.

Apple TV+ (Prime Video add-on)

$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. Just don’t drag your feet — it’s only around until Cyber Monday on Dec. 1.

Sling Orange Day Pass

$4.99

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.
Best Cyber Monday music streaming deal

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
.

Save $49

 

Get Deal

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.

Starz annual subscription

$11.99/year for your first year (save $58)

Get Deal

Why we like it
While most of the best streaming deals are on ad-supported tiers, the
Starz $12/year deal
is completely ad-free. Usually $69.99 per year, this Cyber Monday deal
drops the price down to just $11.99 per year for your first year
. That’s $58 in savings. There’s no end date listed for the deal, but we’d suggest signing up ASAP to lock down the savings. Starz is one of the only streamers that regularly offers deals, but this is by far the best we’ve seen. It may not be the most popular streaming service, but it’s packed with plenty of great content, including originals like the historical drama
Outlander

and

the female serial killer tale
Sweetpea
, and movies like
From the World of John Wick: Ballerina
and

The Long Walk

(coming soon).

Why we like it
There are a lot of
Amazon Fire TV Sticks
on sale this Black Friday, but the better savings are on the Roku Streaming Stick Plus. Roku beats Amazon’s competing model by $0.99, but it’s also just a better device. When we put the
Amazon Fire TV Stick head-to-head with the Roku
, the Roku was the clear winner for its easy navigation, brilliant picture quality, and buffer-free streaming. Grab a Roku Streaming Stick Plus for just $19, saving you 52% off this Black Friday.
