The Best Streaming Service Deals in 2025

---

Streaming services have basically come full circle: What started as a cheap alternative to cable TV has become an expensive monthly cost in its own right, as price hikes and crackdowns on password sharing have made subscribing to multiple streaming services just as expensive, if not more so, than some conventional cable plans.

Luckily, there are often discounts, deals, and loopholes to exploit that can make streaming more affordable—and sometimes even free.

This month’s best streaming deals

Two of the better streaming deals right now are easy to grab and don’t require any bundles or extra purchases. You can get three months of ad-supported Peacock Premium for free by using the promo code PEA2LOPP7EXU95. And over on Apple TV+, the MLS Season Pass is now half off, down to $49 for the season (for non-Apple TV+ subscribers) or $39 with an existing Apple TV+ subscription. If you’re looking to stream summer hits like Poker Face or catch every MLS match live, these are two of the easiest and cheapest ways to do it right now.
