Streaming just got cheaper: Black Friday deals still live on Hulu, HBO Max, Apple TV, Disney+, and more
Table of Contents
It's been a tough year to be a streaming binge-watcher. 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 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 discounts, as have plenty of other streamers via Prime Video add-ons. So you can start weighing 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.
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.
Check out all the best Black Friday streaming deals still live.
Best Black Friday streaming deal overall
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.
Best Black Friday streaming bundle 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
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.
Best Black Friday live TV streaming 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 Black Friday music streaming 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.
Best free Black Friday streaming 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.
Best streaming stick deal
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.

Need something to watch all these shows on? We've got you covered.
Samsung may sell the most TVs in the world, but LG's C Series OLED TVs are certainly the most award-winning TVs in the world. Ever since the C1 OLED debuted in 2021, these OLED TVs have been collecting "Best TV of the year" awards. While the LG G5 Series OLED is now considered the flagship, its high sticker price puts it out of reach for most shoppers.
Our competitors have been writing about a "Black Friday deal" on the C5 for days, but we've been holding out. While Best Buy claims you can save $1,300 on this TV by paying $1,399.99, that price has been available at Amazon since October. So, we've been holding out in the hopes that this TV would finally get a new price drop on Black Friday, and our patience has been rewarded.
New subscribers can get four months of Spotify Premium for free. Typically $11.99 per month, that saves you nearly $50.
Through Dec. 1, aka Cyber Monday, you can add Fox One to Prime Video for only $9.99 per month for two months. That's 50% off its usual cost of $19.99 per month for Black Friday.
The $5 day pass that Sling TV has offered since August is already a great deal if you don't have a streaming subscription with live TV. But Sling's Black Friday deal drops the day price to just $1: From Friday, Nov. 28 through Sunday, Nov. 30, you can pay $1 to access 24 hours of 30+ Sling Orange channels. Catch college football on multiple ESPNs or cozy holiday movies on Freeform, TBS, and TNT.
Usually, all the big streamers launch a Black Friday promotion, and we've seen Disney, Hulu, HBO, and Apple TV do exactly that. But what about Peacock? Alas, we may not get a Peacock deal this year.
Your best bet? Walmart+ memberships are currently 50% off (pay just $49 for the first year), and you can get Peacock for free along with your membership. Alternatively, sign up for the 30-day free trial and pick Peacock as your streaming perk.
Did you cut the cord? Add Fox One to Prime Video for 50% off and watch NFL Sundays live (plus a ton more content). You can add this streaming service to Prime Video for $9.99 a month.
Fox One Prime Video Add-On — $9.99/month
