If you've been hoping to sign up for one of the best streaming services or best live TV streaming services, then you might be worried about the cost, and that's where streaming deals step in.
Many streaming services offer deals or discounts, to tempt you into signing up by lowering the monthly (or, sometimes, annual) price. This lets you test their service and library so you can decide whether you want to subscribe for the long run.
Streaming services aren't the most expensive things you can buy, but subscribe to more than a handful and your monthly bill can end up being rather sizeable. That's why streaming deals are really handy, to help you save money while you test services.
To help you save your money, we've brought together a list of the best streaming deals that you should consider, and you can find it all below. Most of the streaming deals out there run for a limited amount of time, but some are permanent, and we've included both on the below list. Of course, if it runs out soon, we'll include a time limit on the entry too.
This list gets updated frequently to add new deals and remove expired ones, so keep checking back if nothing piques your interest.

Streaming deals FAQs
What is the best streaming deal?
Streaming service deals come and go — if they didn't, they wouldn't be a 'deal', just a regular price. But there's always one or two standout deals.
In the US, the Disney Bundle (Hulu, Disney Plus and ESPN Plus) is a great option for people who want all three services. The cost, $13.99, is less than you'd pay for any two of the services and gets you a third totally free as well.
In the UK, it's usually mobile operator bundles that offer the best deals, so when you're buying a new phone contract, you can often use that to get yourself cheap streaming service subscriptions.
When do the best streaming deals take place?
Some deals, like bundles and trials, roll all year round. But others only pop up sporadically.
A great time to look for streaming service deals is around Black Friday, which in 2022 falls on Friday 25 November. In previous years, we've seen great discounts on Disney Plus, AMC Plus, Discovery Plus, Hulu and a fair few Prime Video channels.
Certain companies have special 'days' too, like Disney Plus Day and Amazon Prime Day, and we often see discounts on the corresponding services for a limited time.
What makes a good streaming deal?
When streaming services were new, each offered plenty of deals to try and get you to try this new-fangled way of watching TV. That's not the case anymore, and actual discounts on streaming services are few and far between.
So a "good deal" on a streaming service can be anything that lets you save money, but the most common we see are bundles, that group multiple services in for a lower price. As long as you want all the services, this is a good way to save.
The best deals are the straight-up discounts though, especially on annual subscriptions, as they save you the most amount of cash (as monthly deals only reduce one month's bill).
