TVLine’s top deal
Sling
On Sale 50% off
WHY WE PICKED IT: Sling is offering half off your first month. Plans start at just $40, so the limited-time deal brings the price down to just $20 for your first 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 the 2024 NBA Playoffs. The only downside? It doesn’t include CBS.
RUNNER-UP
Starz Six-Month Subscription
On Sale 67% off
WHY WE PICKED IT: Starz frequently offers streaming deals and the savings are always huge. Typically subscriptions go for $9.99/month, so you’re practically getting four months free with this six-month offer. The deal only lasts for one month, but that’s plenty of time to binge Mary & George, BMF, Power Book II: Ghost, Outlander and more. Or, if you’re hoping to test the Starz waters, we recommend capitalizing on the single-month deal which is going for just $5. Keep in mind, if you’re a Prime Video subscriber you can access a 7-day Starz free trial through your Amazon account! (Get full details.)
BEST BUNDLE DEAL
Disney+ Trio Basic Bundle
On Sale 44% off
WHY WE PICKED IT: 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 STUDENT DEAL
Hulu
On Sale 75% off
WHY WE PICKED IT: Hulu is one of our top streaming services in 2024, and its student discount is one of the best student streaming deals out there. With subscriptions typically costing $7.99/month, you can save $6/month to stream some of the best shows of 2023 including The Bear, Reservation Dogs 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.

BEST ad-free bundle
Disney+ Trio Premium Bundle
On Sale 42% off
$24.99 Buy Now
WHY WE PICKED IT: While the aforementioned Trio Basic Bundle offers the highest percentage of savings, if you’re hoping to stream ad-free, the Trio Premium is the best pick for you. 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.
BEST PREMIUM BUNDLE
DirecTV Stream + Max, Paramount Plus With Showtime, Starz, MGM Plus and Cinemax Free Trials
$79.99/month+ Buy Now
