Even if you have a comprehensive cable package, streaming services have become all but necessary to keep up with select sports and original TV shows. Fortunately, there are deals on nearly every streaming service out there, especially when it comes to opting in for an annual plan or bundling multiple services together. Below, we've highlighted all of the best streaming deals and bundles, from Disney to Amazon and everything in between.
While many of these deals are standard, year-round offerings, we'll keep this page updated to include limited-time-only sales so that you'll never miss out on potential savings. So far this month, we've found a few sales from STARZ, introductory savings on multiple DirecTV plans, and new season passes from Sling TV.
Check out each streaming service's currently available deals below. We've highlighted both standard streaming services and live TV packages, with price comparisons to how much you'd pay per year with a month-to-month plan or how much you'd pay per month without bundling multiple services together. Many of the streamers offer introductory deals, which we've also outlined.
Paramount+
There are always year-round savings with Paramount+ annual plans compared to paying month-to-month (Essential plans go for $7.99/month, and the Premium tier costs $12.99/month). With both tiers, you end up saving about $35 each year by opting for the annual plan. Essential gives subscribers ad-supported on-demand content, while the Showtime upgrade offers an ad-free experience and other perks. Six months of Paramount+ Essential is also included with all Walmart+ plans, from monthly ($12.95/month) to annual ($98/year).
If you just want to stick with a monthly plan, you can head to the Paramount+ website.
ESPN+
ESPN+ goes for $11.99 a month, so a standard annual plan offers some savings if you're planning to keep your subscription for a year. The streaming service is best known for its UFC pay-per-view (PPV) events, which require a subscription and an additional PPV fee. The bundle below offers further discounts when you combine an annual subscription with a PPV purchase. You can also typically save $10 on your PPV fee if you make the purchase five or more days before a major event.
If you'd rather just try a monthly plan, you can go to the ESPN+ website.
Peacock
Peacock's monthly plans go for $10.99 or $16.99 a month, so the annual plans add up to about 12 months for the price of the 10. The Premium tier offers on-demand and select live coverage with ads, while Premium Plus has ad-free on-demand content and a 24/7 live stream of NBC. The service boasts select live sports and classic comedies, like The Office, Parks and Rec, and Saturday Night Live. Peacock Premium is also included for free with Instacart+ subscriptions, which come with a two-week free trial period.
You can check out the Peacock website if you'd rather subscribe to a monthly plan.
Disney Plus
Disney (and several of its partners) offers the greatest number of deals through bundles. There are savings if you bundle Disney+ with Hulu, with Hulu and Max, with Hulu and ESPN+, with Hulu + Live TV, or if you just get an annual Disney+ ad-free subscription. We recommend trying out one of the Disney+ and Hulu combos no matter what, since you get two entire on-demand subscriptions for only $1 to $4 more than the price of one.
If you plan to stick with just one streaming service or want to try a month-to-month subscription first, you can head to the Disney+ website for more information.
Starz
Starz subscriptions typically cost $10.99 a month, $45.99 for six months, or $69.99 for a year, but the streamer is usually running a promo on at least one of its plans at any given moment. Right now, users can get the annual plan for just $29.99 or the first three months of the monthly plan for $4.99 a month. You can also bundle a STARZ subscription with BritBox, the North American streaming home of several BBC and ITV series. This costs $14.99 a month, which breaks down to about 25% off of what it would cost to subscribe to both streaming services separately each month.
If you're only interested in getting a month-to-month subscription, you can check out the Starz website.
DAZN
DAZN has become an absolute hub for boxing, hosting some of the most-anticipated matches around the globe each year. DAZN also offers select other sports, usually without a PPV fee, although boxing is its focus. Most major fights require a subscription and pay-per-view (PPV) fee, but you can find some savings by opting for an annual plan rather than a monthly plan. Month-to-month flexible plans cost $29.99 a month, but you can opt in for savings via either of the annual options: $19.99 a month locked into a 12-month contract or $224.99 a year upfront.
For more information on DAZN's plans and PPV offerings, you can explore the DAZN website.
Prime Video
If you don't already have an Amazon Prime account, you can save money on an annual subscription. Monthly Amazon Prime subscriptions (which include Prime Video) cost $14.99 a month, and monthly Prime Video subscriptions cost $8.99 a month. You can go ad-free for an extra $2.99 a month. The streaming service offers everything from award-winning original TV series and movies to live sports. Prime Video also allows customers to subscribe to external streaming services through their Amazon account, and these sign-ups often come with special deals in the form of discounted bundles.
If you'd rather try a monthly plan or just stick with Prime Video, you can find more information on the Prime Video storefront.
Apple TV+
Apple TV Plus typically costs $9.99 a month, but users can find savings in an annual plan, which costs $99.00 and saves them about $20 each year. It's worth noting that you might need to sign up for a monthly plan first and then opt into annual billing. You can also save some money on the MLS Season Pass if you're already an Apple TV Plus subscriber. Additionally, the cost of a full season pass usually decreases throughout the season. As of August, the plan is 51% off.
If you're interested in learning more about Apple TV Plus or other Apple services, you can visit the Apple TV Plus website for additional information.
HBO Max
There are three tiers of HBO Max, previously Max (and formerly also HBO Max), in addition to a Disney/HBO Max/Hulu bundle, which we've highlighted above. The standard monthly price for HBO Max with Ads is $9.99, HBO Max Ad-Free is $16.99, and HBO Max Ultimate Ad-Free is $20.99. The ad-free tiers also include sports live streaming for games that air on Warner Bros. channels, like TNT and TBS. The annual version of each plan offers about 17% off in total per year, which is not a bad deal if HBO Max is something you're planning to hang onto in the long run. Users can also bundle a standard (ad-free) HBO Max subscription with STARZ for a 25% savings opportunity on the two services, although this is only available via Prime Video and not listed on either of the respective streaming services' websites.
You can go to the Max website if you'd rather just sign up for a month-to-month plan right now.
Sling TV
Sling TV has developed a reputation as one of the most affordable live TV streaming packages on the market, and it's also chock-full of deals. There are three main plans to choose from: Sling Orange, Sling Blue, and the Sling Orange + Blue combo. Individual Orange and Blue plans cost $45.99 a month each or $60.99 a month for both, but the new season pass deal lets you prepay for five months of any of these plans at a reduced rate. The individual plans cost $199 for a season pass, while the Sling Orange + Blue season pass is $274. Sling also offers all sorts of deals if you add on a streaming service through your Sling subscription. The HBO Max deal is the best by far, as it will knock $5 a month off each month.
If you want to explore Sling TV and its add-ons, visit the Sling website for more information.
Fubo
Fubo is a slightly more expensive live TV service, with standard plans starting at $84.99 a month, but the sports-centric cable alternative offers more than 150 channels at the touch of a button. The service offers everything from local networks to niche, traditionally cable channels, with a few exceptions. The streamer currently offers $30 off its Pro and Elite with Sports Plus plans and $5 off its Latino plan for the first month of service.
For additional plans and channel information, head to Fubo's website.
DirecTV
DirecTV, formerly DirecTV Stream, is another comprehensive live TV streaming service with pretty much all of the channels you'll find in a standard cable package. While we haven't seen much in the way of deals on the cheaper genre packs, the Signature plans are occasionally on sale. Right now, subscribers can get $35 off their first month of the Entertainment and Choice plans, $40 off their first month of Ultimate, and $45 off their first month of Premier. These plans also knock $10 to $25 a month off the next 23 months. Just keep in mind that the actual prices might be a bit higher after paying the required regional sports fees, which can reach up to $17.99 a month on top of the standard monthly rate, and/or any necessary Gemini lease fees.
If you're interested in learning more about DirecTV, check out the DirecTV website for additional information.
Philo
Some streaming services rarely (if ever) offer deals or bundles, but their free trials are worth a shout, especially in an era when streaming services often forgo free trials altogether. Philo, one of the cheapest live TV streaming services out there, always has a one-week free trial going. After that, the app will renew at $28 a month.
You can find more info and channel offerings on the Philo website.
Crunchyroll
Crunchyroll is another popular streaming service that doesn't typically offer subscription deals, but it has a seven-day free trial on all of its plans. Plans for the anime-focused streamer range in price from $7.99 to $15.99 a month. Users might also be able to save some money with an annual plan, although you'll need to be already logged in to explore this option since it's not on the default display when you sign up for the first time.
You can learn more about the various plans through the Crunchyroll website.
