TVLINE’S TOP DEAL
Peacock via Instacart+
WHY WE PICKED IT: With NFL season upon us, everyone is clamoring for access to NBC to livestream Sunday Night Football games. Peacock is home to all things NBC, including live sports, but the streamer doesn’t offer a free trial and there are no active discounts. There is, however, a hack for watching Peacock for free: When you sign up for Instacart Plus for $99/year or $9.99/month, users get a complimentary Peacock subscription. While you’re paying for your grocery service, you’ll stream free of charge! This is our top September streaming deal because Peacock discounts are rare, and Peacock subscriptions are in high demand during NFL season. With Peacock, you can also access exclusive, uncensored Bravo reunions, BravoCon coverage and the NBC streaming library. This is a cheap streaming platform — made even cheaper with this deal! — that offers a high-quality viewing experience for several popular series including the Real Housewives franchise, The Traitors, Below Deck, Summer House and more. (Here’s why we love Peacock!)
RUNNER-UP
Starz Semi-Annual Plan
On Sale 57% off
$20.00/6 months Buy Now on Starz
WHY WE PICKED IT: Starz isn’t an absolute must when it comes to streamers, but the platform offers frequent discounts to binge some high-quality shows, including Mary & George, BMF, Power Book II: Ghost and Outlander. Their six-month deal is one of the best Starz offers so far this year, since you can unlock several months of streaming for just $20. If you’d rather not commit to six months, you can instead opt for the monthly deal: Get Starz for just $5.99/month for three months.
HONORABLE MENTION
Disney+, Hulu & Max Bundle
On Sale 35% off
WHY WE PICKED IT: The Disney+, Hulu and Max streaming bundle, which just launched on July 25, offers unmatched entertainment with both ad-supported and ad-free plans. (The ad-free bundle goes for $29.99/month.) In the age of streaming, with great shows spread across multiple platforms, we think this is the best way to watch the most high quality content for the least amount of money. You can access Hulu’s The Bear and Only Murders in the Building, Disney+’s The Acolyte and X-Men ’97, and Max’s House of the Dragon and And Just Like That... all in one streaming bundle! You won’t find this kind of range with any other platform or bundle offer, so sign up now to get the most out of your streaming subscriptions!
BEST LIVE-TV Streaming Deal
Sling
On Sale 50% off
WHY WE PICKED IT: Sling is currently offering deals starting at $20 off your first month — though this can vary depending on location. Plans start at just $40, so the limited-time deal brings the price down to just $20 for one month. Sling is our favorite live-TV streaming service because it’s affordable and customizable. Plus, Sling plans offer ABC (in select markets), ESPN, TNT and NBA TV (through the Sports Extra), making it a perfect subscription for watching sports. The only downside? It doesn’t include CBS.
BEST STUDENT DEAL
Max
On Sale 50% off
WHY WE PICKED IT: Max is one of our top streaming services in 2024, and its student discount is one of the best student streaming deals out there. While there are cheaper student deals (see Hulu’s $1.99/month offer), no other platform offers this kind of premium content for a this low of a price. With subscriptions typically costing $9.99/month, you can save $5/month to stream some HBO favorites, like Succession, House of the Dragon, Girls and more!
BEST NETFLIX DEAL
Netflix Annual Subscription Through Verizon
WHY WE PICKED IT: As our top streamer of 2023, we think everyone should subscribe to Netflix. The platform, however, rarely offers deals and discounts. But if you’re willing to get a little creative, you can get a free year of Netflix through Verizon. When you purchase select Verizon subscriptions, you can earn a year of Netflix for free.
ALSO CONSIDER
Disney+ Trio Basic Bundle
On Sale 44% off
WHY WE PICKED IT: With Star Wars: The Acolyte underway, now is the time to capitalize on a Disney Plus bundle. If you’re looking for the bundle offering the best value, the Disney Plus Trio Basic Bundle is it. For just $14.99/month, you get ESPN Plus, Hulu and Disney Plus — saving 44% every month. While we love Prime Video for bundling all your streamers into one plan, the Disney Plus offer is the best bundle deal in terms of savings.

BEST AD-FREE BUNDle
Disney+, Hulu & Max Premium Bundle
On Sale 17% off
WHY WE PICKED IT: As stated above, Disney+, Hulu and Max streaming bundle, which just launched on July 25, offers unmatched entertainment with both ad-supported and ad-free plans. We recommend the ad-free bundle to get the most bang fr your buck without interruptions. You can access Hulu’s The Bear and Only Murders in the Building, Disney+’s The Acolyte and X-Men ’97, and Max’s House of the Dragon and And Just Like That... all in one streaming bundle!

On Sale 42% off

For just $24.99/month, you get ESPN Plus, Hulu and Disney Plus — saving 42% every month. This is the best way to watch the most content without ad interruptions.
ALSO CONSIDER
DirecTV Stream + Max, Paramount Plus With Showtime, Starz, MGM Plus and Cinemax Free Trials
WHY WE PICKED IT: DirecTV Stream offers a major premium bundle deal and the service overall can nearly replace cable completely. If you want to try out all the major streamers for three whole months for free, this is a great live-TV streaming service to try.
