Welcome to the cord-cutter's paradise! It wasn't that long ago that ditching your cable box for streaming felt like a revolutionary act of financial freedom. But now, with every network launching its own app and exclusive shows scattered across a dozen different services, that monthly streaming bill can start to look suspiciously like the cable bill you were so happy to leave behind. Between rising subscription fees and the slow death of password sharing, managing your entertainment has become a complex and expensive chore.

Our deal experts spend their days hunting down and curating the very best offers across the entire streaming landscape. We're talking about everything from free trials and deep introductory discounts on services like Hulu and Paramount Plus to deals on streaming bundles and promo codes for live TV platforms like YouTube TV, even finding ways to save on pricey add-ons like NFL Sunday Ticket.
From hardware deals that will upgrade your home theater to pro tips on how to rotate subscriptions and maximize every dollar, we've got you covered. The world of streaming is always changing, but our mission isn't. For over 25 years, DealNews has been dedicated to finding the best deals and helping you save money, and this page is proof of that commitment.
What Kinds of Streaming Deals Can I Find in 2025?
You've come to the right place. In 2025, the streaming world is a jungle of services, and it can be tough to know where to find the best value. Our job is to cut through that jungle for you. We track deals across the entire streaming ecosystem, from the biggest on-demand players to live TV services and the hardware you need to watch them.
Here are the main categories where you'll find great savings on DealNews:
- On-Demand Streaming Services: This is where you'll find the giants of streaming like Max, Paramount Plus, and Peacock. Deals here almost always cater to new subscribers, so look for extended free trials and deep discounts on your first month or even your first year. It's the best way to catch up on blockbuster movies and exclusive original series without paying full price.
- Live TV Streaming Services: For the cord-cutters out there, this category is key. We hunt for the best offers on cable replacements like Sling TV, Fubo, and YouTube TV. The most common deals are promo codes that can slash your first month's bill in half or introductory offers that significantly lower your rate for the first few months.
- Streaming Bundles: Why pay for multiple services separately when you can save by bundling? The most famous example is the Disney Bundle (Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus), but we also find fantastic deals from mobile and internet providers like Verizon and Xfinity that package services like Netflix and Max for a single, discounted monthly price.
- Sports Streaming Packages: Getting your sports fix can be expensive, but we find the deals to make it easier. We keep a close eye on any available discounts for add-ons like NFL RedZone and the highly sought-after NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. Often, the best savings here come from partner promotions, such as getting a subscription included with a new internet plan.
- Streaming Devices and Hardware: You can't stream without the right gear, and we make sure you never have to pay full price. We list daily deals on everything from budget-friendly players like the Amazon Fire TV Stick and Roku Streaming Stick to more advanced hardware from Apple TV and NVIDIA.
It’s a competitive world out there for streaming platforms, and that’s great news for savvy shoppers. The constant battle for your subscription means there's a steady stream of promotions, from straightforward free trials for on-demand services to more creative perks, like getting a premium bundle included with your internet plan. These deals are designed to get you in the door, and they come in several different flavors.
What Do Discounts Look Like?
Streaming deals come in all shapes and sizes, but they usually fall into a few key categories. The most common are promo codes and coupons, which you'll often find for live TV services or during major sales events like Black Friday. You simply enter the code at checkout to see the savings applied. Other discounts are automatic introductory offers for new subscribers, like getting your first three months of a service at a reduced rate. Free trials are another popular type of deal, giving you a risk-free window to try a service before you're billed. Just remember to set a calendar reminder, as these almost always auto-renew into a paid plan if you don't cancel in time.
Beyond direct discounts, many of the best savings come from bundles and loyalty perks. Bundles, like the popular Disney Bundle, package multiple services together for a single, reduced monthly fee. Similarly, perks from your mobile or internet provider can be incredibly valuable, often giving you a premium streaming service for free just for being a customer. Finally, don't forget about retention offers. If you're an existing customer and try to cancel a service, you might be surprised to find they offer you a special discount for a month or two just to keep you around. It's a classic move, and a savvy way for deal seekers to save.
Where to Save the Most on Video Streaming Services This August
August is the perfect time to take stock of your streaming subscriptions. With fall premieres on the horizon and football season kicking off, you want to make sure you’re getting the most entertainment for your money. The good news is that the streaming landscape is packed with deals, especially if you know where to look. The biggest savings almost always come from three places: introductory offers for new users, bundling multiple services together, and taking advantage of perks from your mobile or internet provider.
How to Tackle the Cost of YouTube TV
With NFL Sunday Ticket in its roster, YouTube TV is a true heavyweight in the streaming world, but that also comes with a heavyweight price. Before you pay full price, always look for a deal. New users should keep an eye out for introductory offers that can knock a significant chunk off the monthly rate for the first few months—we've seen deals for $23 off your first two months. The real game-changer, however, often comes from your internet provider. Verizon, for example, has offered a $10 monthly discount for a full year to its home internet customers. And don't forget the easiest hack of all: the family plan. Splitting the cost with up to five other people in your house is the single best way to make this premium service feel like a bargain.
Hulu Is All About the Bundle
So you want to watch Shogun but also keep up with the latest from Disney and ESPN? Hulu has you covered, and its strength is in the bundle. The Disney Bundle is the star of the show, and you can pick your own adventure. Just want Hulu and Disney Plus? The Duo Bundle saves you a massive 44% compared to subscribing separately. Need sports? Hulu's Trio Bundle adds ESPN Plus for a trifecta of entertainment at a steep discount.
If you're looking for an all-in-one cable replacement, Hulu Plus Live TV is an incredible value, as it automatically includes the full on-demand library, Disney Plus, and ESPN Plus. And a special shout-out to students: you can often snag one of the best deals in streaming, getting the basic student Hulu plan for just $1.99 a month.
Getting Peacock for a Steal
Peacock is already known for being easy on the wallet, but we're here to make it even easier. A simple way to save is to grab an annual plan, which gives you 12 months for the price of 10. But for the truly spectacular deals, you'll want to mark your calendar. Around major holidays like Black Friday, we've seen promo codes drop the price of a full year to an unbelievable $19.99. You can also find deals hiding in plain sight. If you're an Xfinity internet customer or an Instacart Plus member, check your account—you might already have access to Peacock for free. Students, teachers, and military members should also look for their own exclusive discounts.
The Secret to Saving on Paramount Plus
The best deal on Paramount Plus might be hiding in your Walmart shopping cart. No, really. A Walmart Plus membership includes a Paramount Plus Essential subscription at no extra charge, making it one of the most surprising and valuable perks out there. If you're subscribing directly, the Paramount Plus with Showtime plan is a fantastic value, bundling two huge libraries into one. And you can save even more—up to 37%—by opting for an annual plan over paying month-to-month. Military members and students, you're in luck too; you can typically slice 50% off any plan.
Getting Prestige TV on Max
Let's be real, Max is home to the heavy hitters—the shows from HBO and Warner Bros. that everyone is talking about. Getting this premium service for less feels like a major win, and the best way to do it is by bundling. The new Disney Plus, Hulu, and Max bundle is headline news for deal seekers, saving you over 40% compared to subscribing to all three separately. You can even find this bundle with or without ads. Also, keep an eye on mobile providers. Verizon has been known to offer its own creative packages, like pairing Max with Netflix for a flat $10 a month. Of course, if you plan to stick around all year, an annual plan will always save you the cost of two months.
The Art of the Netflix Deal
Netflix plays by its own rules, which means you won't find the usual sales, free trials, or annual discounts. Saving money here is an exercise in savvy partnering. The most famous example is T-Mobile's "Netflix on Us" program, which includes a standard Netflix plan with its premium mobile subscriptions. You can also find Netflix tucked into bundles from other providers, like the StreamSaver deal from Xfinity or the Netflix and Max combo from Verizon. There's also the simple math of sharing: paying for the top-tier Premium plan and splitting the cost with a couple of "extra members" can be a clever way to get an ad-free experience for less than individual plans.
A Pro Tip for Disney Plus and ESPN Plus
Here's the one rule our deal experts live by: almost never subscribe to Disney Plus or ESPN Plus by themselves. The real value is simply too good to pass up when you bundle. The savings are built right in. If you're a fan of Disney's massive library and Hulu's endless shows, the Duo Bundle is a no-brainer. If you're a sports fan, the Trio Bundle, which adds ESPN Plus, is an even better deal, packaging all three services for a single monthly price that's far cheaper than getting them separately. And always check your other subscriptions; Verizon, for instance, has offered the entire Disney Bundle as a simple $10 add-on for its customers.
Amazon Prime Video: The Service You Might Already Have
For millions of people, Prime Video is the streaming service they have without even trying. Because it comes included with an Amazon Prime membership, if you're already signed up for the free two-day shipping, you have instant access to a huge library of movies, TV shows, and excellent Amazon Originals like Reacher and The Boys. The best direct discount is for students, who can get Prime for half price. Beyond that, Prime Video is a gateway to other deals. Use its "Channels" feature to find free trials for other services like Starz and Paramount Plus. Just know that Prime Video now includes ads, but you can pay a few dollars more each month for an ad-free stream.
Getting Apple TV Plus for Free (or Close to It)
Apple TV Plus has built a reputation on quality, ad-free original shows, and getting it for less is easier than you think. The single best deal is also the simplest: buy a new iPhone, iPad, or Mac, and Apple will typically throw in a three-month subscription for free. If you're already in the Apple ecosystem, the Apple One bundle is the smartest long-term play, packaging Apple TV Plus with Apple Music, Apple Arcade, and iCloud storage for a much lower price than paying for them all separately. Finally, don't forget to check your phone plan—T-Mobile has been known to give Apple TV Plus to its premium customers as a free perk.
Deals for Live TV on Sling TV, Fubo, and Roku
If you're looking for live TV on a budget, Sling TV is the undisputed king of customization, and its deals are just as user-friendly. The most common offer is a promo code that gets you 50% off your first month, making it a perfect low-risk way to test out its Orange and Blue channel packages. For the premium sports fan, Fubo is a top contender, and its best promotion is a generous free trial that lets you explore its massive channel lineup and high-end features like 4K streaming. Of course, to watch in 4K you'll need the right hardware, and we're always posting deals on popular Roku players, which frequently drop below $20.
Starz and AMC Plus Bring Premium Programming
For premium channels like Starz and AMC Plus, the smartest strategy is to "binge and bolt." Look for short-term, deep-discount deals or free trials that are perfect for catching that one show you've been hearing about. It's common to see offers for just a few dollars a month for your first three to six months. Starz, for example, has offered its service for as low as $3 a month for a six-month period. Once you're done, you can cancel and wait for the next deal to roll around.
Key Things to Know About Video Streaming Discounts
So you've found a great deal that looks too good to be true. Sometimes it is, but more often than not, it's a legitimate offer with a few strings attached. Understanding the fine print is the key to becoming a true master of streaming savings. This is where we break down the most common questions our readers have, so you can navigate the world of streaming promotions like a pro.
When Is the Best Time to Find Streaming Deals?
While we find great deals every single day, there are a few key times of the year when the savings really ramp up. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the undisputed champions, with services like Peacock and Hulu historically offering annual plans for a pittance. The back-to-school season in late summer is another hot spot, especially for student discounts. And don't forget about major TV events; the start of the NFL season, for example, often brings a flurry of promotions for live TV services and sports packages.
How Long Do Streaming Discounts Usually Last?
This is the million-dollar question, and the answer is: it varies wildly. Some of the best deals, especially promo codes for a dollar or two a month, might only last for a day or two before they disappear. Introductory offers, like getting 50% off your first month of Sling TV, are more common and tend to stick around longer. Annual plan discounts are usually evergreen, but free trials can change length without notice. The golden rule of deal hunting is simple: if you see a great deal, grab it. It might not be there tomorrow.
What Are the Most Common Restrictions on These Discounts?
Every deal comes with its own terms and conditions, but a few restrictions are nearly universal in the streaming world. The biggest one is the "new subscribers only" rule. The absolute best deals are almost always designed to attract new customers, so if you're a returning subscriber, you may not be eligible. Another key thing to watch for is auto-renewal. Nearly every free trial or introductory offer will automatically convert to a full-price subscription if you don't cancel before the promotional period ends. We can't stress this enough: set a calendar reminder.
Can I Use Multiple Promo Codes or Stack Deals?
Unfortunately, in the world of streaming, you can't stack your savings. The answer to this is almost always no. Streaming services typically limit you to one promotional offer per subscription. You won't be able to combine a "50% off your first month" code with a "free trial" offer, for example. You'll have to choose the single best deal that works for you.
What Should I Do if My Promo Code Doesn't Work?
It's a frustrating moment, but don't panic. There are a few common reasons why a code might not be working. First, double-check for typos. It's best to copy and paste the code directly from DealNews to avoid any mistakes. Second, make sure the code applies to the specific plan you're trying to purchase; some codes are only for ad-supported tiers or annual plans. Finally, check the eligibility rules. Is the code expired? Is it for new subscribers only, and you've had an account before? If you've gone through these steps and it still isn't working, the code has likely expired or been pulled by the provider.
What if I Have a Problem with My Subscription or Order?
This is a crucial point: DealNews is your expert guide to finding and vetting the best deals, but we are not the merchant selling the service. If you have an issue with billing, a technical problem with the stream, or questions about your account, you will need to contact the customer support team for the service you subscribed to (for example, Hulu support, Verizon billing, etc.). We find the deal for you, but the subscription agreement is between you and the streaming provider.
Do I Lose My Discount if I Pause or Cancel My Subscription?
Yes, you almost certainly will. Promotional pricing is usually tied to a continuous subscription. If you pause your service, you'll likely forfeit any remaining time on your discount. If you cancel, even with the intention of re-subscribing a day later, that promotional offer will be gone for good. The only exception is with a free trial; if you cancel, your access usually ends immediately, but you won't be charged. The main takeaway is to treat a promotional period as a "use it or lose it" opportunity.
Can I Get a Deal if I'm Already a Subscriber?
It's tougher, but not impossible. While the best deals are reserved for new customers, existing subscribers have one powerful tool: the retention offer. If you go to cancel your subscription, many services will present you with a last-minute deal to convince you to stay, such as a discount on your next month or two. It doesn't always work, but it's always worth a try. You can also look for deals on add-ons. For example, an existing YouTube TV subscriber might still be able to find a deal on the NFL Sunday Ticket package through a partner like Verizon.
Are Ad-Supported Plans Worth the Savings?
This really comes down to personal preference and your budget. The savings are significant; an ad-supported plan can often be 40-50% cheaper than its ad-free counterpart. If you're used to watching traditional TV, a few minutes of commercials per hour might not bother you at all. However, if you can't stand interruptions, the extra cost for an ad-free experience might be worth it. The best advice is to start with an ad-supported plan. You can almost always upgrade to an ad-free tier later if you find the commercials are too disruptive.
What's the Deal with Regional Restrictions and Blackouts?
This is most important for live TV streaming services, especially for sports fans. Your access to local channels (like ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC) and regional sports networks depends entirely on your geographical location, which is determined by your IP address. This also affects sports blackouts. For example, NFL Sunday Ticket is designed to show you out-of-market games, so if a game is airing on your local CBS or FOX station, it will be blacked out on Sunday Ticket. Always check a service's channel lineup for your specific zip code before subscribing.
What's the Deal with Password Sharing Now?
Ah, the end of an era. The days of freely sharing your password with friends and family across the country are mostly over, with Netflix leading the charge. Now, most major services are cracking down and tying accounts to a single household. However, this has created a new kind of "deal." Services like Netflix now offer the ability to add an "extra member" to your account for a monthly fee that's cheaper than a separate subscription. While it's not free, splitting the cost of a premium plan this way can still be a smart way for a small group to save money compared to everyone getting their own ad-free plan.
Is an Annual Plan Always a Better Deal?
From a pure math perspective, yes. An annual plan almost always offers a significant discount, typically giving you 12 months of service for the price of 10. However, it's not always the smartest move for a deal seeker. The trade-off for that discount is a loss of flexibility. Committing to a full year means you can't use the "rotate your services" strategy to save money during months when you're not watching. Our advice? Only consider an annual plan for your absolute, can't-live-without-it services. For everything else, the freedom to pause or cancel a monthly subscription is often more valuable.
Are There Special Discounts for Students, Military, or Seniors?
Yes, and they are often some of the best deals available. Many services, including Peacock, Paramount Plus, and Hulu, offer steep discounts for students, often cutting the price by 50% or more. You'll typically need to verify your student status through a third-party service like SheerID. Similarly, military discounts for active service members and veterans are common, often verified through ID.me. While specific senior discounts are less common, a great perk to look for is the AARP discount for Paramount Plus, which can provide a nice percentage off.
What Else Should You Consider This Year?
As we look at the streaming landscape in 2025, one thing is clear: being a passive subscriber is the most expensive way to watch TV. The key to saving money is to be strategic. Embrace the power of the "subscribe-binge-cancel" method for shows on services you don't need year-round. Always check for a bundle deal before you sign up for services individually, especially when it comes to the Disney, Hulu, and ESPN Plus trio. And don't forget to look at the perks offered by your mobile and internet providers; sometimes the best deals are hiding in the bills you're already paying.
It's also worth noting that the world of streaming is constantly consolidating. As services merge and partner up, bundle deals are becoming more creative and valuable than ever. We're also seeing the rise of ad-supported plans as a mainstream, budget-friendly choice that can cut your bill nearly in half. Staying on top of these trends is the best way to ensure you're not overpaying. The services and prices will continue to change, but a smart approach to how you subscribe will always keep you ahead of the game.
