Best Black Friday streaming deals live right now
Which streaming deals are still missing?There are still a few streaming services that are notably missing so far this Black Friday. Netflix and Disney Plus are probably the biggest two names to not put out a deal yet. Peacock's Black Friday deal also hasn't gone live yet, but based on last year, we expect one to come.
Prime Video also has yet to put out a Black Friday deal. Last year, Amazon put up some Black Friday deals on their Prime Video channels, allowing you to get Showtime, Starz or AMC Plus for just $2 for the first two months. We're hoping we get something similar this year.
For live TV, Sling has yet to put out a Black Friday deal, but at least it has an ongoing promotion giving 50% off on your first month. Ditto for YouTube TV , which currently offers you 3 months for $50.99 — a $22 discount — before reverting to full price.
In terms of streaming devices and smart TVs, a lot of deals are already out there, though prices may get better as Black Friday gets closer. Make sure to check out our Black Friday TV deals for the best deals on smart TVs.
