Streaming is not the cost-efficient miracle it once seemed. Just a few years ago, when Max (formerly HBO Max) and Netflix were really the only streamers around, cord-cutting was a great way to avoid paying $100 (or more) every month for cable or satellite. Now, however, other streamers have entered the fray with their own buzzy programming, from Hulu to Paramount+, and major studios have launched their own streaming services with exclusive content. And with each of these services costing anywhere from $10 to $20 (to $100+ for live TV streamers), it’s very easy to rack up a streaming bill that’s close to, if not more than that pricey cable package.
In short, it’s not a cheap endeavor to watch the shows, movies, and live events everyone is talking about — whether it’s Agatha All Along on Disney+, The Bear on Hulu, or UFC on ESPN+.
However, some streaming services do offer deals that can significantly decrease your monthly bills. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best National Streaming Day deals to take advantage of right now.

Best Apple TV Deals
Apple’s streaming service touts big-name stars like Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon (starring in The Morning Show) and Jason Sudekis in Ted Lasso, and while it may not have the breadth of content other channels do, it has some truly standout prestige shows and award-winning movies like Killers of. the Flower Moon. The service is $9.99 monthly, but the tech giant is offering a free seven-day trial to new users.
Best Paramount+ Deals
Paramount+ lets you save by paying annually — and offers a seven-day free trial. The monthly plans are $7.99 a month and $12.99 a month, while the annual plans are $59.99 and $119.99. The annual plans can save you about 38% compared to paying month-to-month.
Best Peacock Deals
NBC’s Peacock is another solid streaming service that’s normally on the affordable side at $7.99 a month for a Premium ad-supported plan or $13.99 a month for a Premium Plus ad-free plan. However, right now you can get 12 months for the price of 10 when you sign up for an overall annual subscription ($59.99 for ad-supported, $139.99 for ad-free), which will save you 17% over the year.

Best Amazon Prime Video Deals
Amazon Prime Video’s 30-day free trial is already one of the best deals in streaming, but there are more ways to save on the service.
GET AMAZON PRIME 30-DAY FREE TRIAL
Some Prime Video users also don’t realize that you can get the streaming service separately from a full Prime membership. Prime Video à la carte costs just $8.99 a month, which saves $6 a month compared to paying for a full Prime membership. Like most streaming services, you can also save on your Prime subscription by paying for a year up-front at $149, saving you about $40 over the course of the year.
Best Max Deals
Max is home to some of the year’s best exclusive content, from The Last of Us to series like Fixer Upper. But Max rarely offers deals, and you can’t get a free trial through the streamer’s website. However, for a limited time, Max is offering the B/R Sports Add-On (typically $9.99 per month) for free for eligible new and existing subscribers.
You can also get Max courtesy of wireless carrier Cricket. If you need a new phone plan, check out Cricket’s Unlimited phone plan, which costs $60 a month and comes with Max for free.
GET MAX FREE WITH CRICKET WIRELESS
Access to Max starts at $9.99 a month, but you can get a discount on your Max subscription by paying for a year up-front ($99 for the ad-supported plan, $149 for the ad-free plan), which can save as much as 20% compared to paying month-to-month.
