Update: As expected, a lot of the Cyber Monday streaming deals did indeed end last night. Some promos are still running today, though. You can still get ad-free Paramount Plus with Showtime for $2.99 until December 4.
Some of our favorite cord-cutting live TV services are still discounted. Sling TV is offering half off your first month, and Fubo will knock $30 off your first month across all tiers of its service.
ESPN+ still has the offer of 12 months for the price of nine on its homepage, despite the small print there saying the offer expired yesterday - so that one might not actually go through.

The best of the Cyber Monday streaming deals will end tonight, and you'll kick yourself if you miss out, as there's no better time of the year to join. So act now unless you want to wait a year for these prices to come back.
Maybe we spend a bit too much time watching TV, but when we've been rounding up all the other best Cyber Monday deals today, streaming has stood as arguably the best category of them all.
The jaw-dropper deals ending tonight include six months of Max (formerly HBO Max) for $2.99 monthly, a Disney+/Hulu bundle for $2.99 monthly, and a year of Peacock for $20 (or $1.99 monthly for six months). As you'd expect at these low prices, they're all for the ad-supported tiers.
You'll certainly be forgiven for rolling your eyes at the prospect of more ads; I'm right there with you. But given you're getting four of the very best services out there for under $8 a month total, I think it's worth seeing how you go. You can cancel anytime, upgrade to ad-free if you're really enjoying an app, or build up enough shows to blast through in a brief window before canceling.
These Cyber Monday streaming deals are only available to new and returning customers. As long as you left said app a month or more ago, you should be fine to rejoin at these greatly reduced rates - I just rejoined Max, Peacock, and Disney+ after bailing a month or so back. You could also try creating a new account with a fresh login and payment details.
Up next, we've rounded up an extensive collection of the latest prices across multiple streaming networks. Browse the quick links below, or scroll down a little to see extra information about what these services offer and what you're getting for the price. Deals on ad-free versions are few and far between this Cyber Monday. But signing up for longer terms on ad-free tiers will usually get you a discount compared to just paying month after month. With ad-supported prices being so low, though, on some big players today, we think it's worth trying them out first.

Max is a premium service for fans of prestige television, iconic films, and unscripted programs like Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Succession, House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, and more.

Peacock is a convenient streaming source for hit NBC TV shows, Universal movies, and select sports like Sunday Night Football. The service also carries its own slate of original programming.
The annual version of Peacock's ad-supported tier offers some solid savings compared to month-to-month plans. The plan unlocks Peacock's full suite of on-demand content, including programming from NBC, Bravo, Universal, and Peacock originals.
Peacock Premium Plus subscription is $14 a month. That's nearly double the non-Plus plan, but the extra cost gets rid of most ads, allows you to download select titles, and also comes with your local NBC channel.
The annual plan of Peacock Premium Plus gives you the benefit of getting 10 months for the price of 12. As with the monthly tier of Plus, this gets rid of most ads, allows for select downloads, and comes with your local live NBC offering.

STARZ is the streaming home of Outlander, Party Down, and tons of blockbuster movies. The app is one of the cheaper ad-free streaming services out there, but it also frequently offers impressive deals throughout the year.
A Plex Lifetime Pass grants you access to all of the Pass benefits without the need for a renewing monthly or annual fee. The perks include free downloads, hardware encoding, and much more.
Live TV and sports
For just the essentials without any extra fluff, Sling TV is the streaming service you're looking for. It's more customizable than other plans, with three options you can choose from, so you pay for only what you need. New members often get a chunky discount on their first month.
Sling TV offers some of the best cable channels for $61 or less. There are three different tiers to choose from, plus several sports and entertainment-specific add-ons, but the Orange + Blue combo is the best way to get the most major sports channels. Plus, you can usually get about half off your first month.
Fubo is the streaming service for sports fans. Its huge library of channels includes regional and international sports leagues, setting it apart from the competition. You can also tack on additional programming to your plan, but it'll cost you extra.
Fubo's base plan offers tons of classic channels, including local networks and traditional cable options, but the Elite tier unlocks 4K and even more sports-friendly options.
Fubo's most essential tier features most of the same offerings as its Pro plan (NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, ESPN, etc.), but it lacks regional sports networks that show NBA, NHL, and MLB games. This will remove any applicable extra RSN fees from your monthly bill.
DirecTV Stream's cheapest Entertainment plan offers tons of options, but a Sports Pack add-on includes must-have channels for sports fans.
DAZN is a sports streaming service with live and on-demand content, including exclusive boxing matches. It's also available in a vast amount of countries around the world. Many events require an additional PPV fee, but a base subscription also offers its own slate of content.
DAZN is a sports streaming service that puts an emphasis on boxing. While many major fights require a pay-per-view (PPV) fee, viewers will also need a regular subscription. You can find savings when paying upfront for an annual plan.
Get a year's access to ESPN+ for the cost of 10 months. You can stream select games from the ABC and ESPN family, and access PPV events for an additional fee.
ESPN Plus is designed for sports, giving subscribers access to live MLB, NHL, NFL, soccer, golf, and UFC fights. You can pay $12 monthly or go for an annual deal, which saves you about $20 a year. There's also a bundle with Hulu and Disney Plus, which offers an even better discount.
FAQs
When do these Cyber Monday streaming deals end?
Most of the really strong streaming deals with those massive discounts on the ad-supported tiers have confirmed end dates.
The Cyber Monday promos at Disney+, Max, Hulu, and Peacock are all listed as expiring on Monday, December 2 - we're going to assume at the end of the day at 11:59 p.m. - let's say ET to be on the safe side.
Paramount+ lasts a little longer as the expiry date in the T&Cs is listed as December 4 (Wednesday) - again, we're assuming through to the day's end.
As for the other deals on this page, those are what we like to call 'evergreen' deals, as they're traditional discounts you get on longer contracts and/or bundled services.
It varies by streaming service, but once a sale has started, you can expect most of them to last through at least Cyber Monday itself.
Am I locked into a contract if I sign up for one of these Cyber Monday streaming deals?
Nope! By default, once the deal you've signed up for ends, the streaming service will re-subscribe you for the regular price. But you can cancel anytime before the deal runs out, which will let you keep watching until the deal ends without getting re-subscribed for the higher price.
Any big names NOT doing Cyber Monday?
Netflix never gets involved with Cyber Monday (or any kind of price promotion), and this year's the same. It still has that status as 'too big to fail' almost and will still be enjoying all those extra subscribers it picked up for the recent Paul vs. Tyson live stream - with any luck, it will put that money towards the live TV streaming tech for future sports events, as the feed quality was more of an omnishambles that the truffle-shuffle excuse of a boxing bout.
We're surprised Apple TV+ didn't try something to get a much-needed boost. It's still a service light on content, but it's worth picking up for a month or two for excellent TV shows like The Morning Show, Foundation, Severance, For All Mankind, and Mythic Quest. Ted Lasso is also a show people also seem to enjoy there. If you've recently picked up a new Apple device, you may get a few months of free access.
Philo is already a very affordable live TV streaming service (especially compared to Sling and Fubo) and the cheapest way to watch Yellowstone season 5, part 2. But it's a no-show for Cyber Monday. There is a seven-day free trial, though.
Pair your new streaming deal with a brand new TV, as there are some excellent Cyber Monday TV deals live today.
