The 7 best Black Friday streaming deals for 2023
The 7 best Black Friday streaming deals for 2023
With monthly subscription prices on the rise, these Black Friday streaming deals will save you up to 85 percent on Hulu, Max and Paramount+
With all of the price hikes streaming services have undergone lately, Engadget recently asked whether streaming was still worth it. Ultimately our answer is yes, but we can’t help but notice how much more expensive these services are now than they once were. But Black Friday deals this year have discounted a number of the top streaming services available, which means you can save a decent amount of money on the monthly (and sometimes yearly) cost of access.
Max, Hulu and Peacock are just a few of the services with Black Friday promotions going on right now, with savings up to 85 percent. The only catch is that most of the deals require you to be a new subscriber, or at least a non-subscriber for a certain period of time. Here are the best Black Friday streaming service deals we could find for 2023.

Peacock
Peacock Premium (one year)
Peacock’s Black Friday deal discounts the streaming platform’s confusingly named Premium tier, which does not offer ad-free streaming, to $2 per month for 12 months or $20 for one year. To take advantage of the discounts, visit Peacock’s website and input the code BIGDEAL for the monthly offer or YEARLONG for the annual promotion. All Peacock plans, including the Premium tier, offer more than 80,000 hours of programming. In addition to NBC programs like The Office and originals like Twisted Metal, Peacock has weekly MLB games and movies like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Once your subscription ends, it will renew at the current $6-per-month or $60-per-year rates.
$20 at Peacock
Max
Max, the streamer formerly known as HBO Max, is one of our favorite streaming services and right now, it’s offering 70 percent off the Max with Ads plan for six months, dropping the price from $10 per month (or $100 per year) to $3 per month. At the end of the six-month promotion, you can either cancel or revert to paying full price. Both new and returning customers can access the deal, which is live now and runs through November 27.
$3/month at Max
Hulu
Hulu with Ads (one year)
Hulu’s Black Friday deal can save you 85 percent over the course of a year. Right now you can get 12 months of the ad-supported plan for just $12 for the year. Hulu (With Ads) typically goes for $8 per month or $80 per year, making this deal an 85 percent discount. The deal is open to new subscribers and former members who canceled their plan at least a month ago.
Existing and new users can also get the Starz premium add-on for 99 cents per month for the next six months. Both promotions are live now and will run through November 28.
$12 at Hulu
Paramount+
Paramount+ Essential Plan (three months)
New subscribers can get the ad-supported Paramount+ Essential Plan for $2 per month for the next three months. That plan usually goes for $6 per month, so you’ll save $12 over the course of the promotion. Or you can opt for Paramount+ with Showtime for $4 per month for three months. Usually $12 monthly, this subscription doesn’t have ads, other than when you watch live CBS news, and gives you access to Showtime’s library. Both promotions run through December 3.
$2/mo. at Paramount+
Fubo
Fubo Pro Plan (two months)
Fubo is offering a $20-per-month discount for the next two months to new subscribers of any of their monthly English language plans. That makes the Pro Plan $55 for the first two months instead of $75 and the Premier Plan, which includes Showtime, is $75 instead of $95 for two months. All plans will revert to the full price after the trial period unless you cancel. We named Fubo the best live TV streaming pick for sports fans. The promotion runs through December.
$55/mo. at Fubo
SlingTV
Sling TV Blue (one month)
Sling TV is offering either their Sling Blue or Sling Orange plan for half price for your first month plus a free Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite, which has a list price of $30 (but often sells for $20). The Orange and Blue plans are $40 per month at full price. We named Sling TV the most customizable option for live TV streaming in our guide.
