Even if you have a comprehensive cable package, streaming services have become all but necessary to keep up with select sports and original TV shows. Fortunately, there are deals on nearly every streaming service out there, especially when it comes to opting in for an annual plan or bundling multiple services together. Below, we've highlighted all of the best streaming deals and bundles, from Disney to Amazon and everything in between.

While many of these deals are standard, year-round offerings, we'll keep this page updated to include limited-time-only sales so that you'll never miss out on potential savings. At the time of writing in October, there aren't any new time sensitive promos available. However, Disney-owned streaming services (Disney+, ESPN+, Hulu) are seeing a price hike across the board on October 17, so it's not a bad time to subscribe to one of the annual plans we've highlighted below.

Check out each streaming service's currently available deals below. We've highlighted both standard streaming services and live TV packages, with price comparisons to how much you'd pay per year with a month-to-month plan or how much you'd pay per month without bundling multiple services together. Many of the streamers offer introductory deals, which we've also outlined.

Paramount+

There are always year-round savings with Paramount+ annual plans compared to paying month-to-month (Essential plans go for $7.99/month, and the With Showtime tier costs $12.99/month). With both tiers, you end up saving a little over $35 each year by option for the annual plan. Essential gives subscribers ad-supported on-demand content, while the Showtime upgrade offers and ad-free experience and other perks. Paramount+ Essential is also included with all Walmart+ plans, from monthly ($12.95/month) to annual ($98/year).

If you just want to stick with a monthly plan, you can head to the Paramount+ website.

ESPN+

ESPN+ goes for $10.99 a month, so an annual plan offers some savings if you're planning to keep your subscription for a year. The streaming service is best known for its UFC pay-per-view (PPV) events, which require a subscription and an additional PPV fee. The bundle below offers further discounts when you combine an annual subscription with a PPV purchase. 

If you'd rather just try a monthly plan, you can go to the ESPN+ website. 

Peacock

Peacock's monthly plans go for $7.99 or $13.99 a month, so the annual plans add up to about 12 months for the price of the 10. The Premium tier offers on-demand and select live coverage with ads, while the Premium Plus has ad-free on-demand content and a 24/7 live stream of NBC. The service boasts select live sports and classic comedies, like The Office, Parks and Rec, and Saturday Night Live.

You can check out the Peacock website if you'd rather subscribe to a monthly plan.

Max

There are three tiers of Max, formerly HBO Max, in addition to a Disney/Max/Hulu bundle, which we'll break down later. The standard monthly price for Max with Ads is $9.99, Max Ad-Free is $16.99, and Max Ultimate Ad-Free is $20.99. The annual version of each plan offers about 17% off in total per year, which is not a bad deal if Max is something you're planning to hang onto in the long run. In addition to on-demand TV and film content from HBO and Warner Bros., each subscription offers the B/R Sports Add-on for free right now, so you can live stream select sports for no additional cost for a limited time only. 

You can go to the Max website if you'd rather just sign up for a month-to-month plan right now.

Disney Plus

Disney (and several of its partners) offers the greatest number of deals through bundles. There are savings if you bundle Disney+ with Hulu, with Hulu and Max, with Hulu and ESPN+, with Hulu + Live TV, or if you just get an annual Disney+ ad-free subscription. We recommend trying out the Disney+ and Hulu combo (known as the Disney+ Bundle Duo) no matter what since you get two full on-demand subscriptions for only a couple of dollars more than the price of one.

If you plan to stick with just one streaming service or want to try a month-to-month subscription first, you can head to the Disney+ website for more information.

Starz

A Starz monthly subscription costs $10.99 a month, but you can get a six-month subscription term for just $19.99 (after which point it will re-up at $10.99 a month), making it a must-have if you're considering getting Starz. The streaming service offers several original shows, including The Serpent Queen and the forthcoming Three Women, and on-demand movies, like Megan and John Wick: Chapter 4.

If you're only interested in getting a month-to-month subscription, you can check out the Starz website.

Prime Video

If you don't already have an Amazon Prime account, you can save money on an annual subscription. Monthly Amazon Prime subscriptions (which include Prime Video) cost $14.99 a month, and monthly Prime Video subscriptions cost $8.99 a month. The streaming service offers everything from award-winning original TV series and movies to live sports.

If you'd rather try a monthly plan or just stick with Prime Video, you can find more information on the Prime Video storefront.

Sling TV

Sling is one of the more affordable live TV packages out there, and it's also one of the most deal-friendly cable alternatives. There are three main plans to choose from — Sling Orange, Sling Blue, and the Sling Orange + Blue combo — and all tiers offer at least half off your first month. The combo is particularly alluring because it offers both plans ($40 each) for just $55 a month. From there, you can get half off of that price in your introductory month. We've also seen Sling Orange and Blue get as low as $15 monthly.

Fubo

Fubo is a slightly more expensive live TV service, with standard plans starting at $79.99 a month, but the sports-centric cable alternative offers more than 180 channels at the touch of a button. The service offers everything from local networks to niche, traditionally cable channels, with a few exceptions. The streamer includes an alluring one-week free trial for first-time customers, but there's a new promo going where you can also get your first month for just $59.99. Fubo's Elite with Sports Plus and Deluxe plans also offer a free trial and $20 off your first month of service.
