Streaming deals Feel important to quality of life in 2026. Gas is spiking so hard that used EVs have become sexy. Food costs have felt dystopian for years. Netflix hiked its prices yet again in March. Amazon Prime just locked 4K streaming behind a paywall. Which is all to say, save money where you can.
As the weather warms, deals keep rolling in and out. A couple of excellent deals—including a $5 Disney–Hulu package and $3 Paramount Plus—are already gone. New in their place is Starz for as little as $3 a month, or $5 for a month-to-month trial. That's pretty much the best streaming deal out there at the moment.
Excellent bundles also rule the land. You can get a 4K-streaming, ad-free bundle of HBO Max, Disney+, and Hulu for $33. That's more than 40 percent off—or $23 less than list price. But most important: no ads. This said, the ad-supported HBO and Disney bundle is also on a 40-percent-off deal. A new Apple TV and Peacock bundle helps offset price increases and stream both services for not much more than the price of each one alone. Additional Peacock deals offer discounts for students, teachers, military, and others.
Here's a quick guide to the best streaming deals and streaming bundles in April 2026. Note that we're not including every TV streaming offer on the planet, just the ones that are actually good deals at the moment.
Updated April 14, 2026: I removed the defunct Hulu–Disney and Paramount Plus deals and added the limited-time $5 and $3 Starz Deals, plus a promo code for a 30-day trial on Apple TV. I also updated and checked the accuracy of prices and deals throughout.
Regular Price: $10 a month
Trial Deal: $5 a month for first three months, then regular price
Semiannual Deal: $20 for six months (~$3 a month)
Starz has brought back its three-month trial subscription deal offering the streaming service for $5 a month. That's good for binges if you want to bask in the gentle buttoned-up drama of Howard's End, the madcap nihilism of Party Down, or the utterly unbuttoned draaaama of Mississippi strip-club series P-Valley. Otherwise, the best deal is a six-month prepaid subscription for a mere $20 (about $3 a month). This is best if you're here for the large movie library. Starz's selection is singular in its way—heavy on action movies, exploitation flicks, and movies featuring hip-hop stars. Recent pickups include the newest John Wick and Sydney Sweeney Western, Americana, and the Method Man action-comedy Trouble Man.
Regular price: $13 a month, after seven-day free trial
Annual deal price: $8 a month ($99 annually) for a yearly subscription
Free 30-Day Apple TV Trial: $0 for 30 days, $13 a month thereafter
I'm not saying you have to watch Pluribus. But I'm also not saying you don't have to watch Pluribus, which just wrapped up this month and now supports binges. (See WIRED's Guide to the Best Apple TV shows.) Apple TV has no special deals at the moment, except for a secret one. Its annual plan did not increase at the same time as its monthly plan. This means its $100 annual prepaid plan now offers a bit more than a third off the regular price, provided you're willing to commit for a year. If you aren't willing to commit at all, there's a separate promo URL you can follow to get a one-month free trial.
Regular price: $13 a month
Bundle with no ads: $20 a month
The ad-supported version of Disney and Hulu is no longer on sale, but it's still a decent enough deal at its $13 price for the ad-supported version. Note it's technically possible to get a stand-alone Hulu account, but it costs only a buck less than the regular price of getting Hulu with Disney. In any case, I can vouch that you probably want to catch up on Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight’s new boxing and pickpocketing period drama, A Thousand Blows.
Regular Price Peacock Subscription: $17 a month for Premium, $11 a month with ads
Apple TV–Peacock Bundle Deal: $20 a month with no ads on Peacock, $15 with Peacock ads
Peacock Student Discount: $6 a month for ad-supported (45 percent off)
Peacock Young Adult (18-24) Discount: $6 a month for ad-supported (45 percent off)
Peacock Teacher Discount: $7 a month for ad-supported (36 percent off)
Peacock First Responder Discount: $7 a month for ad-supported (36 percent off)
Peacock Military Discount: $7 a month for ad-supported (36 percent off)
Peacock Annual Plan: 17 percent off all tiers (i.e., 12 months for the price of 10)
Peacock Premium is the streaming service for NBC Universal Studios, which means you'll find a lot of major sporting events here. It's also where you can back-stream the 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics if you miss it. A Peacock Premium subscription offers movies from Universal's library, local NBC affiliate access, Peacock-exclusive series such as Poker Face, legacy NBC series on demand that include The Office and Parks and Recreation, WWE wrestling, Hallmark movies, and live NBC programming. Oh, it's also where you can back-binge Love Island, if that's you. And where you can watch sentimentally satisfying true story Song Sung Blue, about a Neil Diamond cover band in Milwaukee. (See WIRED's Autocomplete interview with stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson.)
All that access doesn't come cheap. Ad-free Peacock Premium Plus is one of the more expensive services at $17 a month. Luckily, there are great Apple TV bundles to sweeten the pot, which add Apple TV for just $3 more. Steep discounts can also be had on the ad-supported premium plan if you're a student, an adult 18 to 24, an educator, a medical professional or first responder, a member of the military, a military family member, or a veteran.
Regular Price Without Bundle: $56 a month with no ads, $35 with ads
Current Deal: $33 a month without ads, $20 with ads
This is not the lowest price this HBO/Disney/Hulu bundle has been. But it's still a good deal, more than 40 percent off list price for both ad-free ($33) and ad-supported ($20) versions. Disney owns a lot of stuff, and so its bundles remain the best price break in the streaming world. This is an excellent package for families with disparate tastes. Which is to say, it's a mix of more sophisticated adult programming from HBO and FX (Hulu) with unbridled Disney kid stuff and adult kid stuff (Marvel and DC Universes, Hulu's excellent library of anime). For a rundown, see WIRED's guide to the Best Shows on HBO Max Right Now, and the Best Shows on Disney. It's all worth the price of admission just for the human-feeling hospital procedural The Pitt, which contained one of the more realistic portrayals of AI creep in recent memory.
Note that existing streaming customers can also take advantage of this bundle, if desired—though you'll need to log in from the service you're subscribed to and change your subscription.
Regular Price Without Bundle: $43 with ads, $50 without
ESPN Unlimited/Disney/Hulu Bundle: $36 with ads, $45 with no ads
ESPN Select/Disney/Hulu Bundle: $20 a month with ads
ESPN Unlimited (all sports): $30 a month, or $25 a month prepaid annually
ESPN Select (college, tennis, soccer): $13 a month, or $10 a month prepaid annually
Disney bundles are generally among the better discounts, and the current deal here essentially lets you tack on ad-supported Disney and Hulu for $6, half the price of a regular Disney/Hulu bundle (but more than the three-month trial price deal on Disney and Hulu right now). There's not a huge additional price break right now for tacking on the ads-free Disney and Hulu to your ESPN subscription. If you're a dedicated multi-sport fan, your best deal right now with ESPN is likely the annual Unlimited plan, which grants access to all sports.
Note that the ESPN Unlimited deal with ad-free Disney and Hulu ($45 a month) is actually weirdly hard to find, but here's the right link through Disney.
Regular Price: $14 a month premium, $9 ad-supported
Annual Deal: $12 a month premium, $7 a month with ads, billed for full year
Hooked on Taylor Sheridan and his whole nihilistic vision of the American West? Foul-mouthed Colorado schoolchildren? And the UFC to boot? Want to binge the final Star Trek: Starfleet Academy season? Paramount has raised its prices, but you can still catch a small price break by paying for an annual subscription. The premium plan offers full access to live sports, with no ads on movies or series. The cheaper ad-supported plan only offers some Showtime series.
Regular Price Without T-Mobile Bundle: $33 a month
Current Deal With T-Mobile: $3 a month for all three services
T-Mobile is a phone plan, sure. But the cell phone giant has also made a strategy of offering free and strongly discounted streaming services, activated through your online phone account. If you have an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan, there's a chance you have access to a channel you forgot to activate. If you're hanging onto your old Magenta plan, it's possible you might benefit financially by upgrading to the new plans with streaming (and hotspots). The top-line Experience Beyond phone plan offers free Netflix and Hulu with ads, and $3 Apple TV, for a combined savings of $30 a month. The lower-cost Experience More plan, meanwhile, offers only the Netflix and the $3 Apple TV. I did the math and realized I'd save money by canceling my separate Apple TV account and bumping up my old Magenta plan. (See WIRED's guide to the Best Shows on Netflix This Week.)
Netflix rarely offers discounts. It prefers price increases, like the one in March—the second in less than two years. Netflix instead likes to think of itself as the pretty girl of the streaming world, and certainly it's the OG—cementing its relevance with the unstoppable force that is Stranger Things alongside attention-getting series His & Hers and a newly inked deal to remain the home for movies from Sony. (See WIRED's list of the Best Shows on Netflix Right Now.)
Instead of discounts, Netflix has been bolstering subscriber numbers in recent years by cracking down on unauthorized shared accounts, plus adding an extra tier with 4K streaming and four simultaneous streaming devices.
But Netflix deals are still out there, through the major phone providers and internet providers. T-Mobile offers Netflix for free with its Experience plans. Verizon offers a $10 Netflix/HBO bundle with many plans. And Xfinity internet or mobile customers can sign up through their customer portal to get an $18 bundle with Apple TV, plus ad-supported Netflix and Peacock (a $31 value if you got these things separately).
