The best Disney Plus Bundles: How to save over 40%

There's an endless slate of apps to choose from when it comes to the best streaming services, and the options can often feel overwhelming, but the best Disney Plus bundles are designed to get you as much as possible under one discounted price. All bundle options include Disney Plus and Hulu, and from there, you can add either HBO Max or one of the ESPN streaming service tiers into the mix.

By signing up for any of the Disney Plus bundles, you'll automatically save at least 30% (but often over 40%) compared to what you'd pay every month if you subscribed to each service individually. There's even a new six-month plan option that can help you save up to 52%. It's enough of a deal that even if you're only mainly interested in Disney Plus or Hulu, we still recommend considering signing up for both, since bundle prices start at just $1 a month more than only subscribing to one service.

Disney Plus tends to skew family-friendly, so there are some content gaps when it comes to more mature programming. Hulu can help supplement this with a mix of network TV shows, blockbuster movies, and original, award-winning series geared toward adults. ESPN (either Select or Unlimited) adds live sports into the mix, including tennis, golf, football, and basketball. HBO Max rounds out the coverage with critically acclaimed prestige films and TV shows like "The Sopranos," "The Last of Us," and the "Dune" franchise.

We know it can sound a bit confusing, but the Disney Plus bundles are some of the best streaming deals on the market, so we're here to help clear up any questions you might have. Keep reading to explore a breakdown of costs, available bundling combinations, instructions on how to sign up, and info on what to do if you already have an existing subscription.

How much does the Disney Plus Bundle cost?

There are several versions of the Disney Plus bundle, ranging in price based on ad-tier and the number of bundled services. The cheapest option is the ad-supported Disney Plus and Hulu bundle, which costs $13 a month. The most expensive bundle is the ad-free Disney Plus and Hulu with ESPN Unlimited and NFL Plus Premium combination, which costs $55 a month.

There's also a brand-new pricing and plan option for the Disney Plus and Hulu bundles, if you don't mind committing to six months of service (billed monthly). The offer, first introduced in April 2026, gives you ad-supported Disney Plus and Hulu for $12 a month for six months ($71.94 in total) or ad-free Disney Plus and Hulu for $18 a month for six months ($107.94). Once the six-month term is up, plans will renew at the then-standard introductory rates.

How to sign up for the Disney Plus Bundle

For those living in the US, signing up for the Disney Plus bundle with Hulu and/or ESPN is easy. You just need to visit the Disney Plus website and select your desired plan. If you don't see the exact option you want on the landing page, you might need to start the signup process and log in to see all available plan configurations.

If you want to sign up for the HBO Max version but don't see it on the website homepage, just visit this website to get started instead. While Disney Plus is available globally, the bundles are confined to the US since Hulu and ESPN Select/Unlimited are only supported in the US.

After entering your email address and payment information, you can activate your account on each service. You can use the same account information across each platform and watch Hulu from the Disney Plus app and website. If you already have (or have ever had) a Disney Plus, Hulu, or ESPN account, this will serve as your MyDisney login for all Disney-owned services (unless you wish to sign up under a different email). You can reset your password through your email if you don't remember your login information.

Can I get the Disney Plus bundles for free?

Disney Plus no longer has a free trial, and none of the bundles come with a trial period, but there are still a few ways that you might be able to try out the services for free.

The DirecTV MyEntertainment genre pack includes ad-supported Disney Plus, Hulu, and HBO Max. This month-to-month live TV streaming package, which costs $35/month and carries 50+ live entertainment and lifestyle channels, comes with a five-day free trial for new customers. Ad-supported Disney Plus is available through DirecTV's MyKids pack, which costs $20/month, offers 10+ family-friendly channels, and also includes a five-day free trial.

The Hulu, Disney Plus, and ESPN bundle is included in both Hulu + Live TV subscription tiers (which we dig into below). This live TV package sometimes offers a free trial for its ad-supported tier, which means you can access all services for free for the duration of the trial. However, this free trial typically only lasts for three days (when available) before the subscription renews at the then-current monthly rate, unless you cancel before then.

Though Verizon previously offered free access to the Disney Bundle with its 5G Play More Unlimited and 5G Get More Unlimited phone plans, this promotion is no longer active for new members. However, you can get a reduced rate on the ad-supported Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus (Select) bundle with Verizon Unlimited plans. This will cost $10/month instead of the standard $20/month.

Can current subscribers upgrade to the Disney Bundle?

Yes, current Disney Plus, Hulu, or ESPN Select/Unlimited subscribers can upgrade any of their existing subscriptions to the bundle. You just need to sign up for the Disney Plus Bundle using the same email address on file for your current membership. You can also log into your existing account and explore other plan options, and make the switch from there. Disney will then adjust the bundle cost to account for your existing subscription fees.

Though current HBO Max subscribers can upgrade to the bundle to get Disney Plus and Hulu included, remember that the HBO Max Ultimate Ad-Free plan is not included. That means current Ultimate members will see a downgrade in streaming quality if they choose to bundle, as only HD 1080p is available. To stream HBO Max in 4K UHD, you'll need to stick with the Ultimate Ad-Free plan, which isn't available as a bundle with another streaming service.

Remember, however, that members who have existing subscriptions through special promotions — like Spotify's Student Plan with Hulu — are not eligible for an upgrade to the bundle. They'll need to cancel their subscription or sign up for the bundles separately with another account.

Can you subscribe to Disney Plus bundles annually?

One of our favorite ways to save on streaming services is by subscribing annually, which usually saves subscribers money each year compared to paying for 12 months on a month-to-month plan. However, none of the Disney Plus bundles offer annual options right now.

You can subscribe to the Disney Plus ad-free tier annually for $190/year (a little over $37 in savings compared to paying month-to-month for a year), the Hulu ad-supported tier annually for $100/year (a little less than $20 in savings compared to month-to-month), ESPN Select annually for $130/year (a little over $25 in savings compared to month-to-month), or ESPN Unlimited annually for $300/year (a little less than $60 in savings compared to month-to-month). HBO Max also offers annual plans on all tiers of service, ranging from $110 to $230 a year.

Can I watch Disney Plus, Hulu, ESPN, or HBO Max content in the same app?

Disney Plus allows you to watch select programming from Hulu and/or ESPN on Disney Plus if you're subscribed to either of the streaming services. The Hulu option became available in December 2023 (and officially rolled out in 2024), and the ESPN option became available in December 2024.

You must subscribe through the bundle or trio plans or link your stand-alone accounts. Select Hulu and ESPN programming is also available to watch on Disney Plus without a Hulu subscription. Once you log in, you can navigate to the ESPN and Hulu content by clicking on the applicable tiles on the Disney Plus homepage. The tiles are right next to the Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar options, so it's easy to navigate.

Disney Plus/Hulu/HBO Max Bundle subscribers can watch select HBO content from the Hulu app, but not all. With the HBO Max add-on, select titles like "Euphoria," "House of the Dragon," and "The Last of Us" can be found within the Hulu app. Non-HBO or HBO Max exclusive content, like the Studio Ghibli and Harry Potter libraries, cannot be found in the Hulu app.

All four apps remain separate services for now.

Will Disney Plus and Hulu become one app?

In August 2025, a little less than two months after the Walt Disney Company purchased Comcast's stake in Hulu, Disney announced plans to fully integrate Hulu into Disney Plus for a one-app experience in 2026. Nothing will immediately change, and there's no exact timeline for the integration (yet), but the two oft-bundled services will eventually be available under a single app.

What's the difference between the Disney Plus bundles with ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited?

ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited are two tiers of the same streaming service available via the ESPN app. You can check out our ESPN streaming service guide for a comprehensive breakdown of the two plans. Choosing between one of the Disney Plus/Hulu/ESPN Select bundles and one of the Disney Plus/Hulu/ESPN Unlimited bundles ultimately comes down to personal taste and your household's needs. If you have access to a live TV streaming service or cable package, ESPN Select will probably do the trick with its supplementary coverage, but ESPN Unlimited might be a better fit if you're looking for a cable replacement for ESPN sports networks.

Does Hulu + Live TV include the Disney bundle?

Hulu + Live TV plans come with Disney Plus, the Hulu streaming library, and ESPN Select/Unlimited through the ESPN app. Hulu + Live TV subscribers don't have to pay extra or adjust any options in order to get the bundle. The service also lets you stream more than 95 live TV channels, including most of what you'd find in standard cable plans. There are also a number of add-ons you can get for maximum TV coverage. Check out our Hulu Live TV channels roundup to see the full lineup.

Hulu + Live TV plans cost $90 a month for ad-supported on-demand streaming or $100 a month for ad-free on-demand streaming. The ad-free options extend to Hulu and Disney Plus, but Hulu + Live TV and ESPN will always have ads due to the nature of live TV.

This is the only bundle automatically included with Hulu + Live TV, and there's no option to swap ESPN for HBO Max. Instead, you'd need to get an additional subscription to HBO Max, which will cost extra, although you're able to add it on through your Hulu + Live TV subscription.

Are there any current deals on the Disney Plus bundles?

While we consider Disney Plus bundles a deal in their own right, a limited-time offer can help sweeten the savings. However, as of May 2026, there are currently no special, additional limited-time offers available. The most recent Disney Plus deal discounted the first three months of ad-supported Disney Plus and Hulu service from $13 a month down to $5 a month. The deal concluded on March 24, 2026.

When was the last price hike on the Disney Plus bundles?

On October 21, 2025, the majority of Disney Plus bundles faced a price hike. Most bundles increased by $2-3, excluding those with Hulu + Live TV, which faced a steeper price hike. Some bundle options, like the ad-free Disney Plus and Hulu bundle and bundles that include ESPN Unlimited, didn't see a price increase.
