The best streaming service deals for February 2025
It being winter and all, there’s a high probability that many of us are spending more time bingeing TV shows and movies indoors than we might otherwise. And while it’s true that most streaming services don’t cost much in comparison to most of the tech we cover, we all know monthly subscription fees have a way of adding up. Before you know it, you’re spending as much on streaming as you would on cable.
However, if you’re trying to cut down on your expenses (and who isn’t these days?), you don’t necessarily need to unsubscribe from everything. In fact, we’ve found a few ways for you to save on your monthly subscriptions. It turns out a variety of platforms are offering ongoing promos, some of which are even available to new and returning subscribers alike. Below, we’ve curated some of the best deals going on right now, so you can enjoy streaming your favorite show or movie without worrying about breaking the bank.
Quick note: keep an eye out for free trials and student discounts
Most streaming services offer free trials that typically last from a week to a month, whether you sign up for an annual membership or just a monthly subscription. In all instances, however, you will have to provide your credit card information in advance. You will also automatically be charged once your trial is over, so make a note in your calendar to cancel your subscription if you’re unhappy with the service.
Some platforms, though not all, also offer student discounts. These include Hulu, Paramount Plus, YouTube TV, Amazon Prime, and more. You’ll have to prove your eligibility and typically be enrolled in an accredited Title IV college or university to take advantage of these deals.
$30

The platform currently offers two distinct plans: an ad-supported Peacock Premium tier for $7.99 a month (or $79.99 a year) or the ad-free Peacock Premium Plus tier for $13.99 a month (or $139.99 a year). Only the latter lets you download content for offline viewing, however.
In terms of discounts, new and lapsed subscribers can get a year of ad-supported Peacock Premium for $29.99 ($50 off), so long as they sign up before February 19th. Current Peacock Premium and Premium Plus subscribers are not eligible for this deal; however, those with free Peacock accounts are able to take advantage of the ongoing promo when they use code WINTERSAVINGS.
If you’re not eligible for the current Peacock promo, you can also grab a complimentary subscription when you sign up for a year of Instacart Plus ($99 annually or $9.99 a month).

Sling TV is a live TV streaming service featuring live and on-demand TV channels like CNN, Fox, NBC, Comedy Central, Cartoon Network, and more.

Sling TV is a streaming service that functions as a more affordable alternative to YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV.

Sling offers an ad-supported free tier — Sling Freestream — which provides access to more than 500 live channels as well as more than 40,000 on-demand movies and TV shows. The platform also offers three paid plans, all of which come with 50 hours of DVR storage: Sling Blue ($50.99 a month); Sling Orange ($45.99 a month); and Sling Orange and Blue ($65.99 a month). Sling also lets you subscribe to Max as an add-on for a discount, or you can buy an ad-free subscription to Max as a standalone service for $16.99 a month.
If you’re into sports, you may want to opt for Sling Orange over Blue as it grants access to ESPN channels — but only on one device. Sling Blue, however, offers a number of channels Sling Orange lacks, including Fox News, MSNBC, E!, Discovery, Bravo, and local NBC or Fox affiliates. You can also subscribe to a bundle that includes both Sling Orange and Sling Blue, which offers all of the channels the first two plans feature.
To celebrate its 10th anniversary, Sling is taking $10 off the first month of Sling Orange or Blue through February 28th. The service is also throwing in a complementary month of Max (valued at $16.99 a month) and unlimited DVR storage (an extra $5 a month), as well as access to AMC Plus for the rest of the year. This deal is available to both new customers, as well as past Sling TV subscribers who haven’t been a subscriber within the past 12 months.
In summary, new subscribers can get a month of Sling Orange with a free month of Max and unlimited DVR storage for just $35.99 for their first month, which equates to a $42 discount. If you subscribe to Sling Blue, you’ll pay $40.99 ($32 off) for your first month, or $55.99 ($32 off) if you subscribe to both plans.

There’s also the $16.99-a-month Disney Bundle Trio Basic bundle, which includes the ad-supported Hulu and ESPN Plus (paying an extra $10 a month nets you the ad-free version of Hulu and Disney Plus). That’s cheaper than subscribing to all three streaming services individually, and is the wisest route to take if you plan on subscribing to all three.
That being said, there are other ways to save. For instance, those currently on one of Verizon’s Unlimited plans can get the Legacy Disney Bundle for $10 a month. The bundle — which includes ad-free Disney Plus, Hulu with ads, and ad-supported ESPN Plus — typically costs $21.99 a month, so you’re effectively saving $11.99.

Right now, the ad-supported plan runs $9.99 per month, while the ad-free plan costs $18.99 a month. Hulu also sells ad-free and ad-supported bundles that include Disney Plus and / or ESPN Plus, which are cheaper than subscribing to each service individually.

The ad-supported Hulu with Live TV subscription is $82.99 a month, while the ad-free tier is $95.99 a month.
