50 Best Streaming Bundles in 2024

cord-cutting › streaming service bundles • April 15, 2024 • The Staff

Bundles sure look like the future of streaming and cord-cutting, and that trend is set to continue its upward trajectory in 2024. The abundance of streaming apps makes us spend more and makes it harder for us to keep track of all our expenses, and bundles are a great answer to both these problems.

The most popular streaming bundles are Sling Orange + Blue, Philo (live TV + on-demand content), Disney+ (bundled with Hulu and ESPN+), Paramount+ (CBS live TV + on-demande content), Hulu with Live TV (live TV + on-demand), and a few others.

With this guide, we hope to create the most comprehensive list of bundle deals. As more get announced with streaming services, we will keep adding them.

We've also made sure to indicate which bundles offer a free trial (twice the deal!), and which are available on which device.

Our recommended five best streaming bundles in 2024:

Paramount+ Premium (Live TV + On-demand bundle)

Paramount Plus is mostly a Netflix-style streaming service, offering movies and TV shows on-demand like The Good Fight and Yellowstone.

The premium plan of Paramount Plus gives you access to Live TV from CBS: CBS local channels, CBS News (CBSN), CBS Sports, ET live, and some live sporting events like NFL on CBS Live. It also offers on-demand access to programming from Comedy Central, MTV, BET, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., Paramount Pictures, and Smithsonian Channel.

As of 2023, it increased its monthly price to $11.99, but with that comes a significant upgrade: Premium members have access to all of Showtime's content, which includes movies and shows like Billions, Dexter, and Yellowjackets, as well as live coverage on sports including boxing, football, and MMA.

You also get over 55,000 (15,000 more than the base Entertainment package, mainly from Starz Encore) of on-demand movies and shows included. Of course, there is a price tag that comes with all of this that will rival the most expensive cable packages: over $100 a month.

To access Hulu + Max, you'll have to pick a Hulu base plan, which starts at $7.99/month, and add $15.99/month for the Max add-on. With this, you get everything under one platform and pay for just one bill. Plus, you can use your Hulu credentials to log into the Max app, in case you want to watch your favorite shows on the go. It's quite the deal if you're looking to tune into the most critically-acclaimed originals streaming has to offer.

You can subscribe at a reduced price if you’re an existing AMC channel subscriber on services like Xfinity, Dish Network and Sling TV.

Price: $4.99/month

Free Trial: 7 days

Device availability: Roku

Features: ad-supported option, offline downloads, trial

YouTube TV Entertainment Plus (Live TV + Max, Showtime, and Starz)

With YouTube TV's entertainment bundle, you get three premium services for the discounted price of $30—that's $5 off compared to getting Max (without ads), Showtime, and Starz separately. It may seem pricey, especially since you'll be paying it on top of YouTube TV's already costly subscription, but it could be worth it if you're looking to get a first-rate entertainment package.

Max alone gives you access to HBO's critically-acclaimed shows, Warner Bros.'s past and present blockbusters, and Discovery's many wildlife features. But coupled with Showtime and Starz, you get prestige dramas, trendy comedies, and insightful documentaries on top of all that, not to mention YouTube TV's unrivaled DVR storage feature and lengthy live channel list. It's a bundle tailor-fit for TV and film enthusiasts.

Go to YouTube TV Entertainment Plus (Live TV + Max, Showtime, and Starz)

Xfinity and Peacock Premium Bundle

For a good while, all Xfinity internet subscribers had access to Peacock's free tier. But since NBCUniversal switched Peacock into a paid-only service, Xfinity has followed suit with the changes. Thankfully, however, it hasn't completely canceled its Peacock-related bundles, so now there are currently two ways an Xfinity user can get Peacock Premium at no additional cost.

The first is available to Xfinity Internet customers with Gigabit speeds. With this level of service, you're entitled to Peacock Premium at no additional cost for two years, after which, you can elect to continue your Peacock subscription for $5.99/month. The second is available to Xfinity Internet customers who are Diamond or Platinum rewards members. At this level, you can redeem a reward from Xfinity's reward store, which then gives you access to Peacock Premium for free. Just remember to enroll at the rewards store before you avail of the offer. In both cases, you do not need a TV Box to start enjoying the bundle.

Go to Xfinity and Peacock Premium Bundle

Price: Varies depending on your location and account history.

Features: 4k-compatible, ad-supported option, annual subscription, Dolby Atmos, likely to work with a VPN, offline downloads, on-demand content, picture in picture, spatial audio, up to three concurrent streams

T-Mobile & Vix Bundle (Metro plan)

If you join any of T-Mobile's Metro unlimited 5G plans, which start at $40/month, you get a free one-year subscription to Vix Premium as part of the T-Mobile & Vix bundle. Vix is a specialized streaming service that has hundreds of telenovelas, films, news programs, and live channels catered to Hispanic viewers, making this bundle perfect for Spanish-speaking viewers. Vix also has the distinction of being the streaming home of fútbol leagues like Liga MX and UEFA Champions League, so if you ever want to watch tournaments on the go with unlimited data, definitely consider this bundle.

As of the moment, it's available to new and existing Metro customers alike, just make sure you register for the code and redeem it within 30 days. The cheapest tier of this bundle includes a ScamShield plan, while the more expensive tiers, which range from $50-$60/month, include all this plus a 100GB Google One membership.

Price: $40/month

T-Mobile & Apple TV+

Much like its longstanding "Netflix On Us" bundle, T-Mobile's "Apple TV+ On Us" bundle gives select customers a free subscription to Apple TV+. Specifically, those with Go5G Next or Go5G Plus lines in good standing are eligible to watch all of Apple TV+'s original films and TV shows at no additional cost and share their subscriptions with up to five other people. In all, the bundle saves you up to $10 each month. Meanwhile, customers of T-Mobile's Go5G plan, while not eligible for a free Apple TV+ subscription, are qualified for a six-month free trial. After that, the plan automatically renews at $9.99/month unless canceled.

Is getting a streaming bundle cheaper than getting a standalone service?

Bundles tend to be cheaper but whether one of them makes sense for you will depend on the content you like to watch, as well as the content you're comfortable paying for. For example, the Sling Orange + Blue is a good deal that is $25 cheaper than if you got Sling Orange and Sling Blue separately. But, if you pay for Sling Blue, you are also subsidising Fox News, which is part of the lineup. This might be OK for some, but for others who don't watch Fox News and don't want to subsidise it, getting Sling Orange over the bundle is a cheaper (and more suitable) deal.

Is it possible to get a streaming bundle that includes Netflix?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to subscribe to Netflix through a bundle in the US.

Are there any streaming bundles for students?

Spotify offers students a subscription that also includes Hulu and Showtime for $4.99/month here, with a 30 day free trial.

Are bundles the best way to stream cheaply?

Bundles can lower the cost of subscribing to many subscriptions at once, but the cheapest way to stream is obviously to stream for free. We've counted over 30 free streaming services available in the US.
