Disney Plus, Hulu, and HBO Max are all over 60 percent off for Black Friday

The holidays are a great time to see family, exchange gifts, and enjoy a good meal. It’s also the perfect time to gather around a TV and catch up on must-see shows and movies. Vince Gilligan’s Pluribus is a fantastic new sci-fi series, while Hulu is the only place you can catch the buzzy Alien: Earth. Thankfully, multiple streaming services are offering big discounts on subscriptions for Black Friday, helping to mitigate the many price hikes that have swept the industry in 2025.

Right now, for instance, you can sign up for six months of Apple TV for just $5.99 a month, which is over 50 percent off the usual price. You can also snag a year of HBO Max with ads for $2.99 a month, saving you nearly $100 over the course of 12 months. These aren’t the only deals, either. We’ve rounded up a selection of other streaming discounts below. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear Netflix — which is the only place you can catch the latest season of Stranger Things — is participating in Black Friday this year. Maybe next time.

You can entertain both parents and kids with a subscription to Hulu and Disney Plus. Now through December 1st, new and returning subscribers can get an annual ad-supported subscription to both streaming services for just $4.99 a month ($8 off), saving you nearly $100 over 12 months. If you’d rather not have ads interrupting episodes of Bluey — trust me, there’s no quicker way to make your toddler throw a Muffin-level tantrum — you can also get an annual ad-free subscription to Hulu and Disney Plus for $14.99 per month ($5 off), saving you a cool $60 over the course of a year.

Both discounted plans provide access to TV shows and movies from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and the Star Wars franchise. Over on Hulu, you can watch Hulu originals like The Handmaid’s Tale and classics like Gilmore Girls, along with The Bear, Alien: Earth, and the latest season of King of the Hill. You’ll also get access to holiday favorites, including Home Alone, The Santa Clause, and The Polar Express. You can watch everything offline with the ad-free tier, too, which is handy when you don’t have access to a consistent cellular or Wi-Fi connection, like when you’re stuck at the airport.

Sports fans can also throw ESPN Unlimited into the mix with discounts on ad-supported and ad-free bundles, which you can choose from the drop-down menu when selecting your plan. A subscription to the Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Ultimate Bundle is up to 44 percent off for Black Friday, with an annual ad-supported bundle available for $29.99 a month, down from $53.97 per month. Meanwhile, you can grab the same bundle without ads for $38.99 a month for a year (about $29 off). For those who need a refresher, ESPN Unlimited provides access to all ESPN networks and ESPN Plus, with sports like NFL, NBA, MLB, and more.

If you’re in the mood for prestige television, HBO Max is offering one of the best Black Friday deals we’ve seen this year. New and returning subscribers can sign up for an annual subscription to HBO Max with ads for $2.99 a month ($8 off) through December 1st, saving you about $100 over 12 months. Like Apple TV, HBO Max received yet another price hike about a month ago, so this deal is particularly welcome right now.

It’s worth noting that the deal provides access to HBO Max Basic, which only allows you to stream TV shows and movies in HD quality on up to two screens at once. If you prefer to watch in 4K, you’ll need to step up to a Premium subscription, which costs $22.99 per month and is currently not on sale. Bah, humbug! No matter which tier you go with, though, you’ll be able to watch TV shows like House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, and It: Welcome to Derry. On the movie front, you can stream James Gunn’s Superman and the horror sensation Weapons.

Apple TV is home to TV shows like Ted Lasso, The Studio, Pluribus, and Severance, and it’s the only place you’ll be able to stream Joseph Kosinski’s F1 when it drops on December 12th. And if you have a taste for the sport, Apple TV will also be the exclusive home for Formula 1 racing beginning in 2026. In other words, it’s a great time to subscribe, especially now that new and returning subscribers can lock in six months of the service at just $5.99 a month ($7 off). Apple raised the monthly subscription price of its streaming service a few months ago, so this Black Friday deal is a great way to save.

Before the price hike hits Paramount Plus early next year, you can save for Black Friday. Now through December 2nd, new and returning subscribers can sign up for any plan for two months for just $2.99 a month (up to $10 off). No matter which tier you choose, you’ll get access to over 40,000 TV shows and movies, including the latest seasons of Landman and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, along with movies like The Naked Gun reboot and Sonic the Hedgehog 3. A subscription also includes a few Showtime titles, like the original Dexter, as well as live sports, including every single UEFA Champions League game and select NFL games.

If you opt for the Premium Plan, you’ll be granted access to the full Showtime library, which includes TV shows like Dexter: Resurrection, every season of Yellowjackets, and movies like The Substance, Talk to Me, Gladiator II, and Top Gun: Maverick. A Premium plan also provides support for streaming select titles in 4K UHD with Dolby Vision or HDR10 Plus, 24/7 live CBS news via your local station, and the ability to download shows and movies for offline viewing.

If you watch a lot of live TV, there will be plenty to watch over the holidays, including the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and a handful of NFL games on Thanksgiving. And now through January 4th, you can get a YouTube TV Base Plan for $72.99 a month ($10 off) for the first three months.

A YouTube TV Base Plan includes over 100 live channels and all the perks the service has to offer, including unlimited DVR space and up to six household accounts with three simultaneous streams. You also get special features during live sports, like a stats view and the ability to quickly catch up on important highlights you might have missed. And, yes, the YouTube TV Base Plan includes ESPN and other Disney-owned channels, which are back on the service following a two-week outage.

You can also save on NFL Sunday Ticket through December 1st, either by adding it to your YouTube TV Base Plan or getting a season pass by itself. No matter which option you choose, NFL Sunday Ticket is $12 a month for four months or $48 for an annual pass. A subscription provides all out-of-market Sunday regular season games from every NFL team.

You can get a Starz subscription for $2.99 ($8 off) for the first three months or an annual subscription for $23.99 ($46 off). The streaming service features a variety of shows and movies, including John Wick: Chapter 4, the John Wick spinoff Ballerina, and shows like Blood of My Blood and Hostile Takeover. Both plans allow you to stream on up to four devices simultaneously and download content for offline viewing.

If you’re a diehard sports fan, you can save up to $30 on a month of Fubo TV. The streaming service is offering discounts across its four tiers, including Fubo TV Elite, which is down to $64.99 ($30 off) for one month. After that, it goes back up to the regular price of $94.99 per month. The Elite plan provides access to 277 channels and includes ESPN Unlimited, ABC, CBS, and Fox, along with local NBA, NHL, and MLB games — all in glorious 4K. All of the plans come with unlimited Cloud DVR space at no extra cost, while three of the four (except the Latino plan) can stream on up to 10 devices simultaneously.
