After Another Year of Price Hikes, What Streaming Deals Will We Get for Black Friday 2026?

We’re officially in the thick of deals season, and if there’s one thing I personally spend way too much money on, it’s streaming subscriptions. It doesn't help that everyone keeps hiking prices, and deals are rarer than ever.

After Another Year of Price Hikes, What Streaming Deals Will We Get for Black Friday 2026?

Black Friday 2026 is approaching, and streaming services are expected to offer deals to entice customers. Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount+, Apple TV, and Peacock are the top contenders for discounted subscriptions during this sales event.

Amazon Prime Video will likely offer a 30-day free trial, a 50% discount for users under 25, and potentially a 12-month deal on add-ons like AMC+ and Britbox. Disney+ and Hulu might revive their $4.99 deal for the ad-supported bundle, although the price could be slightly higher at $5.99. HBO Max is expected to return the ad-supported plan at $2.99/month for a 12-month period, but it could be limited to six months due to its uncertain future.

Paramount+ is likely to provide a two-month deal on both its ad-supported and ad-free Showtime plans, similar to last year's $2.99/month offer.

Apple TV, known for its ad-free subscription, may return a six-month deal, though the discount could be closer to $6.99. Peacock did not offer any Black Friday deals last year and showed no interest this year, though Walmart+ subscribers might find Peacock Premium included at 50% off during major sales events.
