The early Streaming deals of 2026 have been mostly minor up to now, a few bucks here and there. After the blitz of streaming deals on Black Friday, maybe the streaming services took your boredom for granted during an East Coast winter full of snow and ice and cold. What’s worse, a number of streaming services increased their prices at the end of last year and the beginning of this one, notably Paramount and Disney. Apple TV jacked its monthly price by $3 at the end of last summer.
Well, thank goodness: The first real deal of the year has arrived, for those tired of their current streaming options. Until March 23, you can get Disney and Hulu together for $5 a month. Hate ads but like HBO? It’s not an eye-poppingly low price, but 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.
So are a number of other bundles—so many bundles—including a new Apple TV and Peacock bundle that 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 March 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 March 2026: I’ve added the new Hulu-Disney bundle deal, updated programming offerings on Peacock and other services, and updated prices and descriptions throughout.
Best Streaming Deal: Disney/Hulu Discount
Ad-supported bundle deal: $5 a month for first three months
Regular price: $13 a month
Bundle with no ads: $20 a month
Hey, look, an actual streaming deal in 2026! The ad-supported version of Disney and Hulu can be bundled for $5 a month for three months, which is more than enough time to binge everything you’ve missed before the regular $13 price kicks in. 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. And for the moment, it’s way cheaper to bundle Hulu and Disney than to get Hulu alone. The deal is only available through March 23, 2026.
I caught this deal the last time it was offered in November and 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.
Peacock Premium Streaming Deals and Bundles
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. 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.
HBO Max/Disney/Hulu Premium Streaming Deal
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.
ESPN and ESPN Bundles
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.
T-Mobile Netflix/Hulu/Apple TV Streaming Deal
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.)
Starz Streaming Deal
Regular Price: $10 a month
Trial Deal: $7 a month for first three months, then regular price
Semiannual Deal: $4 a month, prepaid annually
Starz’s ridiculously low $12-a-year deal is gone. In its place is a $7-a-month trial membership, which replaces last month’s better $5 a month deal. Waiting has consequences. Still, the $7 price is still good for binges if you want to bask in the gentle buttoned-up drama of Howard’s End or the utterly unbuttoned draaaama of Mississippi strip-club series P-Valley. Otherwise, the best ongoing deal is an annual subscription for $24 for six months ($4 a month), probably 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.
Paramount+ (With Showtime) Deal
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? Paramount just raised its prices, alas. But an annual subscription with all the Showtime series and all the sports is about 17 percent off the now-spendier regular price, with live sports and no ads on movies or series. Note that the cheaper ad-supported plan only offers some Showtime series.
Apple TV Deal
Regular price: $13 a month, after seven-day free trial
Annual deal price: $8 a month ($99 annually) for a yearly subscription
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.
Netflix Streaming Deals and Bundles
Netflix rarely offers discounts. It 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 new 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).
