This has been a rough year for bank accounts overall, but streaming services in particular have really upped the ante. Nearly every major streamer got more expensive in 2025, including Netflix, Peacock, HBO Max, Apple TV+, YouTube TV, Disney+, Hulu, and Paramount+. So needless to say, we’re extra excited about this year’s Black Friday streaming deals. We could all use some discounts, amirite?
Black Friday is famously the best time of year to sign up for streaming services, as you can typically score some serious savings on monthly or annual subscription fees. And we’re pleased to report that this year is no different. If you’re looking for a way to cut back on streaming costs for 2026, now’s a great time to take advantage of a majorly discounted subscription.
One thing to note: most Black Friday streaming deals are limited to new and returning subscribers (as in, you once subscribed to Peacock, but cancelled your subscription months ago) only.
We’re still patiently waiting for some of the heavy hitters to drop their annual Cyber Week deals, but since Amazon’s official Black Friday sale kicked off on Nov. 20, several impressive Prime Video add-on streaming deals are already live. HBO Max has also thrown its hat in the ring a bit early this year, though we’re still waiting on other top dogs like Peacock, Hulu, and Disney+. I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled and will update you when those go live.
In the mean time, you can already lock in some serious savings on streaming. Here are all the best Black Friday streaming deals live.
Best Black Friday streaming deal
$2.99/month for 12 months (save $8/month)
Why we like it
In a shocking turn of events, HBO Max has delivered a Black Friday deal in 2025 that actually beats its streaming deal from 2024 and 2023. This year, new and returning subscribers can sign up for 12 months of HBO Max Basic with ads for $2.99 per month through Dec. 1. That’s just $35.88 for the whole year and about 73% in savings. In 2023 and 2024, the streamer only offered this discounted price for six months. So, not only are you getting double the subscription length for a discount, but you’re also saving even more after its recent price hike (up to $10.99/month from $9.99/month).
The Warner Bros. Discovery-owned streaming service is one of our favorites. Not only is it home to Warner Bros. films, but also new A24 theatrical releases, a ton of excellent original series (like The Last of Us, The Pitt, and IT: Welcome to Derry), and even live sports via the B/R Sports add-on.
Mashable Deals
Black Friday Apple TV deal
$5.99/month for 6 months (save $42)
Why we like it
Apple TV+, just like several other streamers, raised its subscription cost by 30 percent a few months back — from $9.99 to $12.99 per month. So this deal, which knocks the price down to only $5.99 per month for half a year, is much appreciated. The only catch? It’s in the form of a Prime Video add-on, meaning you need to be a Prime member or Prime Video subscriber to secure the subscription discount.
Apple TV+ features a virtually all-original lineup filled with Emmy-winners like The Studio, Ted Lasso, Severance, and The Morning Show and Oscar-winners and nominees like CODA and Killers of the Flower Moon. TL;DR: You’ll get more than your money’s worth with this Black Friday deal.
