We\u2019re officially in the thick of deals season, and if there\u2019s one thing I personally spend way too much money on, it\u2019s streaming subscriptions. It doesn’t help that everyone keeps hiking prices, and deals are rarer than ever. <\/p>\n

Thankfully, there\u2019s one time of year where you can often get a decent amount of those very subscriptions for much cheaper than usual: Black Friday. <\/p>\n

Almost every service is likely to drop some type of deal, though the majority will be on ad-supported plans. If you\u2019ve been intrigued by any particular service, or want to strategize some free trials and cancellations, here\u2019s what streaming deals I expect we\u2019ll see for Black Friday this year. <\/p>\n

Black Friday Streaming Deal Predictions <\/strong><\/h2>\n

In general, deals will certainly be live from Black Friday (November 27) to Cyber Monday (November 30). However, some services may launch their Black Friday deals in the week before the main event. <\/p>\n

Amazon Prime Video<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Starting from the top, obviously Amazon will be all over Black Friday (check out the retailer\u2019s full sale schedule). Prime Video is included in Amazon memberships, which pretty much never go on sale. The service does offer a 30-day free trial and a hefty 50% discount for anyone under the age of 25. <\/p>\n

Channel Add-Ons, however, like AMC+ and Britbox, will likely have deals through Prime Video in addition to their own platforms. Amazon\u2019s general Black Friday sale starts November 19, but I imagine most Add-On discounts will appear on Black Friday proper. <\/p>\n

Disney+ and Hulu <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Disney+ has always launched some sort of Black Friday deal, but as we\u2019ve seen across streaming, the discounts have gotten less generous over time. <\/p>\n

Last year, Black Friday came right after Disney+ rolled out a price hike. The Black Friday deal only applied to the ad-supported bundle of both services, dropping the monthly price from $12.99 to $4.99 for a full 12 months. <\/p>\n

Disney+ increased prices again back in September, but the Hulu bundle actually stayed at $12.99. I\u2019d guess we see the return of the $4.99 deal on the ad-supported bundle for a full 12-month window, but there\u2019s a chance it only goes down to $5.99 to align with the new Disney+ pricing. <\/p>\n

HBO Max<\/strong><\/h3>\n

HBO Max is in a particularly weird place. Paramount finalized its acquisition of Warner Bros. earlier this year, and indicated early on in negotiations they were planning to merge their streaming services. More recently, Paramount announced that HBO Max and Paramount+ will be getting a new streaming bundle in early 2027, which is likely a first step on the path to a full merger. <\/p>\n

However, that doesn\u2019t mean Black Friday deals are off the table. Last year, HBO Max offered a particularly generous deal, dropping the ad-supported plan to just $2.99\/month for a 12-month period. We\u2019ll likely see the same deal return this year, though potentially limited to six or even two months as HBO Max navigates a more uncertain future. <\/p>\n

Paramount+ <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Paramount+ is in a similar boat to HBO Max, but I\u2019m a bit more confident in this one, largely because Paramount+ has offered relatively consistent deals even as other services have shied away from them. Right now, for example, you can get 50% off an annual subscription using a promo code. <\/p>\n

For Black Friday, Paramount+ will likely offer a two-month subscription deal on both of its ad-supported and ad-free Showtime plans. Yep, we might actually have an ad-free deal on our hands. In 2025, Paramount+ dropped the prices of both subscriptions to $2.99\/month, and given the consistency of deals since then, I expect to see the same deal return for 2026. <\/p>\n

Apple TV <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Speaking of ad-free, praise be Apple TV. Apple\u2019s streaming service keeps it simple with one ad-free subscription plan, so if you\u2019re dead set on picking up a new service without ads, this is your best bet. <\/p>\n

Last year, Apple TV dropped the price of its subscription from $12.99 to $5.99\/month for a six-month period. Since then, however, the service hiked prices by $2 for a standard monthly rate of $14.99. With that in mind, I expect to see the return of at least a six-month deal period, but the discount might be closer to $6.99 to hit the same discount percentage.<\/p>\n

Peacock <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Peacock was actually one of the only streaming services that didn\u2019t offer any Black Friday deal in 2025. That doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re out of luck this year, but it isn\u2019t a great sign, especially given the service just hiked prices again this Summer. <\/p>\n

If you desperately want to catch up on Peacock\u2019s sitcoms and reality TV lineup, I recommend keeping an eye out for deals on Walmart+ subscriptions. This is basically Walmart\u2019s version of Amazon Prime, but it also includes Peacock Premium, and often get 50% discounts during major sales events.<\/p>\n
