Best Black Friday streaming subscription deals 2023
All of our recommendations below are based on our previous coverage and reporting. We also included a handful of subscriptions we’ve tried ourselves.
Hulu
Through November 28th, you can sign up for a year of Hulu’s ad-supported streaming for 99 cents per month — bringing your total to under $12 per year (usually $79.99). New and returning subscribers who canceled at least a month ago can take advantage of this offering.
Peacock
NBC’s streaming platform, Peacock, is offering new and returning subscribers the chance to sign up for either $1.99 a month (normally $5.99) for 12 months or $19.99 upfront for the entire year (usually $59.99) . Use the code BIGDEAL for the monthly membership or YEARLONG for the annual. The ad-supported subscription gives you access to next-day programming from NBC and Bravo, movies, and sports.
Paramount Plus
A subscription to Paramount Plus gives you tens of thousands of shows and 24/7 live news. For Black Friday, they are offering new and returning subscribers the chance to sign up for $1.98 a month for three months — after that, your subscription returns to the total price of $5.99 a month. You can also sign up for a combo of Paramount Plus and Showtime for $3.96 a month for three months (instead of $11.99 monthly). To redeem either offer, just use the code BLACKFRIDAY at checkout.
Max
New and returning subscribers can sign up for the ad-supported version Max for $2.99 monthly for six months, which usually costs $9.99 a month, so you save $42 with this offer. The plan will give you access to hundreds of shows and movies. Because this is the ad-supported plan, only two people can stream simultaneously, and you cannot download content for offline viewing.
Sling TV
This streaming service grants you access to live and on-demand TV. The service is offering half off the first month for new customers only. Sling TV Orange is $20 for the first month (usually $40) and grants you access to 32 channels, including ESPN, Disney and Freeform. Sling TV Blue is $22.50 for the first month (usually $45) and gives you access to 42 channels.
Hulu and Disney+
Sign up for the 99 cents per month Hulu deal and you’ll have the option to tack on a subscription to Disney+ with ads for additional $2 a month for an entire year — bringing your total to $2.99 a month for both streaming services. (Normally, the combo of these two subscriptions is offered at $9.99 per month.)
