We're into it now, folks. The best Black Friday streaming deals are live from all the expected players in the world of movie and TV apps.
As expected, most are only available to new and returning customers. As long as you left a month or more ago, you should be fine to join in - or just create a new account with a fresh login and payment details.
There really are some fantastic deals live today. We're talking six months of Max (formerly HBO Max) for $2.99 monthly, a Disney+/Hulu bundle for $2.99 monthly, a year of Peacock for $20 (or $1.99 monthly for six months), and more.
The downside, though, is that all of those deals are for ad-supported tiers. Ads are bigger money makers for them than the extra cash we pay to go ad-free. So if you've been holding out for Black Friday for a great deal on the new Disney/Hulu/Max bundle announced recently with no ads and 4K, there's only the regular monthly or annual bundled savings to see - same as usual.
In all honesty, the ad creep on streaming apps really grinds my gears, but seeing as I'd canceled most of my ad-free subs lately before the holiday deals came along, I'm going to pick up these ad-supported deals on the dirt-cheap subs and see how intrusive the ads turn out to be - canceling and upgrading is an option on the one-month plans anyway. Not you, though, Paramount; your ads are unbearable.
Up next, we've rounded up an extensive collection of the latest prices across multiple streaming networks. Browse the quick links below, or scroll down a little to see extra information about what these services offer and what you're getting for the price. As mentioned above, deals on ad-free versions are few and far between this Black Friday. But signing up for longer terms on ad-free tiers will usually get you a discount compared to just paying month after month. With ad-supported prices being so low, though, on some big players today, we think it's worth trying them out first.

FAQs
How long will these Black Friday streaming deals last?
It varies by streaming service, but once a sale has started, you can expect most of them to last through at least Cyber Monday, which falls on December 2 this year.
Am I locked into a contract if I sign up for one of these Black Friday streaming deals?
Nope! By default, once the deal you've signed up for ends, the streaming service will re-subscribe you for the regular price. But you can cancel anytime before the deal runs out, which will let you keep watching until the deal ends without getting re-subscribed for the higher price.
