The Black Friday streaming deals have officially arrived, but there's a significant shortage of sports streaming services participating in this year's discounts. The lack of deals comes after a rather tumultuous month for live sports streaming. Disney and Google got into a bit of a legal battle over ESPN channels, and YouTube TV subscribers had to deal with an outage for almost half of November before an agreement was reached.
Disney's ongoing battle for supremacy in the world of sports streaming isn't new, and it has only been further amplified since it launched ESPN Unlimited earlier this year. The new direct-to-consumer ESPN service has had a big draw so far, largely because the price is actually really good. Even months after launch, the Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Unlimited bundle price is still the best sports streaming deal around.
ESPN Unlimited Black Friday Deal
The new ESPN Unlimited bundle is only $29.99 per month and includes subscriptions to both Hulu and Disney+. This price is available for the first 12 months of your subscription and will increase to $35.99 per month after that time period is up. That price makes this one of the best streaming bundles available anywhere, and by far the cheapest way to watch sports. Live TV services like YouTube TV and DirecTV have starting costs around $80 or more, so this is a great option for anyone who wants to cut down their monthly streaming bill.
More Black Friday Streaming Deals
If you're looking for more Black Friday deals on streaming subscriptions, most of them are already live. The most notable discounts are actually on other Hulu bundles. You can pick up 12 months of the Disney+ and Hulu bundle for only $4.99 per month. It isn't quite as good of a deal as last year, but that's not too surprising after recent price hikes on these services.
Outside of the realm of Disney, there are also individual discounts on Crunchyroll Premium, Apple TV+, and HBO Max. The HBO Max deal is by far the most generous with an offer of $2.99 per month for a full year. You can also choose HBO Max as an add-on for your Hulu subscription for the same price if you want to bundle services together.
