HBO knows you’re bored and cold. It wants you to Max and chill with Noah Wyle in scrubs. The company offers some of the best Cyber Monday streaming deals with a ridiculously low-priced $3/month offer for basic HBO Max (it’s the version with ads and 2K streaming, but still, super-cheap). Disney Plus and Hulu deals are bundled up for $5/month. Apple TV wants back in your life for $6.
Of course, this deal is only meant for new customers. Not boring ol’ existing customers. If you already have basic HBO Max, you’re already paying $11 for the same service, and HBO would like you to keep doing that. Streaming apps are banking on you being complacent and happy in your streaming life. Maybe they’re even taking you for granted.
Sometimes you can get the current deal just by threatening to cancel, or actually canceling, your account. Suddenly, you’re an exciting new customer again! Another method is by using an alternate email account (perhaps your spouse’s or roommate’s?) and alternate payment information as a new customer. If you do use a burner email (you did not hear this from me), check in on your favorite app’s terms of service to make sure you’re not in violation by re-enrolling with different emails. I’ll also issue the caveat that you lose all your viewing data and tailored suggestions if you sign up anew.
But times and wallets are tight! And $3 HBO Max sounds pretty good. After all, every middle-aged American man needs to rewatch The Wire once every five years or so—assuming he’s not the kind of middle-aged man who rewatches The Sopranos instead. Here are the current best streaming deals for Cyber Monday 2025.
Cyber Monday Update: We’ve added the Masterclass Cyber Monday deal, as well as information on the Showtime add-on to the Paramount Plus deal.
Peacock Cyber Monday Deal
Devon Maloney; ARCHIVE ID: 546772
Regular price: $80
Deal until December 2: Free with $49 Walmart+ membership
Peacock will normally cost you $80 per year for basic or $110 for premium, but right now you can get it for free with a new Walmart+ subscription, which is itself half off. For $49, you get the Great Value version of Amazon Prime, which also comes with free fast delivery of most Walmart products. You can get free grocery delivery if you spend more than $35.

Regular Price: $11/month
Current Deal: $3/month, locked in for a year
Unless you subscribe through Amazon Fire, you may not even need to do the funny kabuki of changing your email. The $3 offer is available to anyone with a canceled or expired HBO Max subscription, unless you subscribed through the Amazon Fire app. If you subscribed through Fire, maybe try signing up through the HBO website instead.

MasterClass Cyber Monday Deal
Regular Price: $16 a month for Plus
Deal Price: $8 a month for Plus, billed annually
December is a month early for self-improvement. But let’s say you were really excited to learn chess from Gary Kasparov? Or, like, learn can’t-lose Dan Brown’s template for potboilers? Commit to a year, and you get half off. There are a few tiers, but you’ll likely at least want the “Plus” plan that lets you download some classes for offline use.
Disney Plus/Hulu Cyber Monday Deal

Regular Price: $13/month
Deal Until December 1: $6/month, locked in for a year
There’s also a bundle that includes ESPN, but you won’t find it on as much of a discount. Star Wars and Disney cartoon fans need more persuasion than sports fans. (See WIRED’s guide to the best shows on Disney+ and Hulu.)
Paramount Plus (With Showtime) Cyber Monday Deal

Regular Price: $8/month
Deal Until December 2: $3/month, locked in for two months
At only two months, this is less of a deal than a trial subscription. But if you just wanted to see all the South Park episodes everyone has been talking about for the past few months, maybe this is for you. You can also get the Showtime add-on for the same trial price, just in case you needed to binge Tulsa King or Dexter.
Apple TV+ Cyber Monday Deal

Regular Price: $13/month
Deal Until December 1: $6/month, locked in for six months
I’m not saying you have to watch Pluribus. But I’m also not saying you don’t have to watch Pluribus. (See WIRED’s Guide to the Best Apple TV+ shows.)
Starz Cyber Monday Deal
Starz Entertainment
Regular Price: $11/month
Cyber Monday Deal: $12/year, prepaid
There’s also a deal for a limited, three-month lock-in at $3/month. But it’s a much worse deal than just paying $12 for a whole year.

Regular Price: $28/month
Deal Until Dec. 1: $12/month, for four months
Boy, football is expensive. But this deal makes it a lot less expensive!
