While there is plenty of entertainment to enjoy on free apps like Tubi and Pluto TV, far too many exclusive shows, movies, and live channels are locked behind paid streaming subscriptions to stick to the freebies. The good news is that the annual Black Friday shopping holiday brings plenty of digital deals on fan-favorite streaming platforms like Hulu, Peacock, and Paramount+, and this year is no different. Save big on premium streaming subscriptions and enjoy your favorites for cheap while you can this Black Friday!

When is Black Friday?

Black Friday is always the day after Thanksgiving, and in 2024, it falls on November 29th. It begins the moment the clock strikes midnight on the 29th and ends on the 30th, but expect early bird deals, sales that extend into the following weekend, and all-new Cyber Monday discounts.

What deals should I expect on streaming services?

Streaming shoppers will find a few solid limited-time discounts well before Thanksgiving, but expect the largest deals to be unveiled close to or during Black Friday itself. Deals for streaming video services on Black Friday tend to be the biggest, and you’ll likely see discounts as deep as 70% off monthly subscriptions. New subscribers are likely to enjoy the smaller streaming bill for 3 to 12 months or even more.

What kind of streaming deals did they have last year?

There were some truly impressive deals on streaming services during Black Friday 2023, including Hulu for 99 cents per month for six months, Peacock for $1.99 per month for an entire year, and Starz for $3 per month for three months.

How do I get good deals on streaming services during Black Friday?

Some of the top tips for getting the best streaming subscription sales this Black Friday include jumping on discounted bundles that include two or more services at a single low rate (such as Hulu with Max or Xfinity’s Netflix/Apple TV+/Peacock “StreamSaver” bundle,) following streaming services on social media and signing up for their mailing lists for instant updates on incoming Black Friday deals, and checking back on your top streaming platforms often, because sales appear more frequently as we get closer to Black Friday.

How to choose the best video streaming platforms for you

There are many excellent video streaming services to choose from, and there are a few ways to evaluate streaming apps to determine which ones are a good fit for your entertainment needs. Be on the lookout for streaming services that offer a free trial and plan on almost exclusively watching the app so you can determine if its content and app are worth the ongoing subscription. Many streaming services let would-be subscribers freely browse their collection of shows and movies online, making it fairly easy to determine if there’s enough worthwhile content on the platform to invest your time and money.

Where to find Black Friday deals on streaming services?

Outside of this guide, the best place to learn if a specific video streaming subscription is on sale for Black Friday is to check its official website. Don’t be discouraged if there isn’t a discount available in the weeks leading up to Black Friday because the best streaming deals usually pop up closer to Thanksgiving or begin on Black Friday itself.

Although apps like Prime Video and Disney+ may have sales this November, don’t get your hopes up for any Netflix Black Friday deals because they generally don’t run discounts or offer free trials.
