One of the biggest trends I’ve seen in the streaming landscape is the rise of bundling services. With so much consolidation in the space, many businesses have looked to combine their streaming services with others as a way to attract more subscribers.
That means that there are a lot of streaming bundles available. The biggest new offering being the Disney Plus, Hulu and Max mega bundle, which saves you 38% on the cost of buying each separately. Of course, there are plenty of variations of Disney bundles around, with the Disney Plus, Hulu with Live and ESPN Plus being another classic.
That bundle in particular has a limited time offer available that’s not directly related to Black Friday, but came off the back of a price hike that was rolled out in October in the US. Make sure to check our Black Friday streaming deal hub for more details.
In the UK, we’re seeing great bundle offers from Sky. The service is offering a 26% monthly discount on its Sky TV and Netflix bundle, which gives you access to the world’s best streaming service as well as over 300 channels on Sky TV.
Will Netflix have Black Friday deals? I wouldn’t count on it. As one of the biggest paid-for streaming services available globally, Netflix doesn’t have a hard time with attracting new customers and because of this, it doesn’t tend to offer discounts.
Looking at previous Black Fridays and Cyber Mondays, Netflix hasn’t offered deals and given this track record I suspect that this year will be no different. The best way to get a Netflix saving is through a bundle, so be sure to keep an eye out for any savings that include the service, such as with internet or pay-TV providers.
Black Friday is a great time to bag a saving on the best streaming services, and the good news is that you don’t have to wait until the big sales day arrives because there are already plenty of early offers floating around to take advantage of.
I’ve been scouring the web to find all the best streaming discounts and have managed to find some great savings, which you can read all about in my Black Friday streaming deals guide, where I’ve listed all the info you need for each deal.
To give you an idea of what I’m seeing, the biggest deals I’ve found so far are for Prime Video subscription add-ons in the US, such as Paramount Plus, Starz, AMC Plus, Discovery Plus, MGM Plus and more. There are in fact 20 Prime Video subscription add-ons available with up to 75% off each.
There are also deals for sports streaming services like DAZN and ESPN Plus. The former is offering to slash the price of any of its plans in half, while the latter is letting you get 12-months for the price of 9-months.
In the UK, the best steaming Black Friday deal that I’ve seen so far is for Paramount Plus, which gets you three-months for 50% off. Meanwhile, DAZN is also offering a 33% discount on this side of the pond as is Sky as part of a Currys exclusive offer when you buy a Sky Glass TV.
