50 Best Streaming Bundles in 2024

cord-cutting › streaming service bundles • May 1, 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:

Netflix & T-Mobile

If you're a T-Mobile customer, you've likely already heard of the phone service's "Netflix on Us" bundle. Depending on your T-mobile plan, you're eligible for a Netflix subscription at no additional cost, regardless of the streamer's price hikes. The most common Netflix plans it provides customers with are the Netflix Basic subscription (valued at $10/month), which is ad-free and available to watch on a single device, and the Netflix Standard subscription (valued at $16/month), also ad-free and available to watch on two devices. T-Mobile says you can also upgrade your phone plan if you want to get the Netflix Premium subscription for free.

Eligible T-Mobile plans start with a single line of the Go5G Next, Go5G Plus, and Magenta MAX plans, all of which get the Netflix Basic subscription for free.

Device availability: Amazon Fire TV, Android, Android TV, Apple TV, Changhong, Chromecast, Haier, Hisense, iOS, LG TV, Nvidia SHIELD, Panasonic, Philips, PlayStation, Roku, Roku TV, Samsung, Samsung TV, Sharp, Skyworth, Sony, TiVo, Vestel, Vizio, Wii, Xbox

Max – AMEX Bundle

With the Max-AMEX Bundle, select American Express cardholders can purchase an annual Max subscription, starting at $99/year (no ads), and get $25 back in statement credit. You can log in to your Amex account online to check if you're qualified, but generally, the offer stands for US-issued cards. It should be noted that only one card per user can avail of this bundle and that you'll have to purchase it directly on the Max platform. Once you do, the statement credit should appear 90 days after the offer expires.

Go to Max – AMEX Bundle

Price: $8.25/month

Hulu AMEX bundle

Available to American Express Platinum cardholders, the Hulu AMEX bundle is a deal that gives you up to $20 in credits every month on your statement account (that's $240 saved in a year), provided that you use your card to subscribe to any Hulu product on their website. The bundle covers both Hulu's on-demand and live TV services, as well as Hulu's Disney+ and ESPN+ package. You have to remember to enroll your card to start receiving the benefit, but once you do, your credit should appear around six to eight weeks after the purchase has been made.

Go to Hulu AMEX bundle

Price: $7.99/month

Device availability: Amazon Fire TV, Android, Android TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, iOS, LG TV, Nintendo Switch, Roku, Roku TV, Samsung TV, Xbox

Hulu + Starz Bundle

If you're already subscribed to any of Hulu's existing plans (currently, those are with ads, no ads, and live TV), you can choose to boost your subscription with a Starz add-on for an extra $8.99 a month. This rounds up your library of Hulu originals with Starz's own collection of prestige series such as Gaslit, Outlander, and Serpent Queen, as well as their cult-status comedies like Party Down, Minx, and Ash vs. Evil Dead. Additionally, you can stream Starz live and log on to the app, if you have it, with your Hulu credentials.

While this simplified bundle is certainly interesting, it's even more appealing for TV fans out there who have much to gain from this pairing.

Go to Hulu + Starz Bundle

Price: $16.98/month

Free Trial: 7 days

Device availability: Amazon Fire TV, Android, Apple TV, Chromecast, iOS, Nintendo Switch, Roku, Samsung LG, Website, Xbox

ESPN+ AMEX bundle

If you sign up for an ESPN+ subscription using your American Express Platinum card, you can get up to $20 in statement credits each month, saving you up to $240 in annual costs over time. You can check the link below for more information on your eligibility, but for the most part, you only have to enroll your card on AMEX's site and make sure you subscribe directly to ESPN+'s site to get the credit. The ESPN+ AMEX bundle applies to any and all purchases you make on the ESPN+ platform, including pay-per-view matches, which ESPN+ has a lot of, especially UFC matches, and streaming packages like the Disney+ and Hulu Bundle, which offers ESPN+ at a slashed price.

ESPN+ is home to thousands of on-demand content and live sporting events that cover all sorts of leagues and tournaments around the world. To differentiate itself from the ESPN channel, it also offers exclusive original content in the form of reality shows and docuseries hosted by the likes of Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Abby Wambach, David Ortiz, and Derek Jeter.

Price: $10.99/month

Disney+ Bundle Duo (Disney+ and Hulu)

The most popular Disney+ bundle is the trio bundle, which combines Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ for the reasonable price of $12.99/month. But if you don't care much for sports, we're here to tell you that you can actually get a leaner (and cheaper!) deal with just Disney+ and Hulu. It's called the Disney+ Bundle Duo and it gives you access to Disney+'s family-friendly hits as well as Hulu's more contemporary original movies and TV shows.

As of this writing, the bundle doesn't allow you to download titles, and you'll have to upgrade to pricier tiers if you want to avoid the ads, but at $9.99/month, it does give you up to 37% in savings compared to purchasing each service separately. Not a bad deal if you're after a good mix of blockbuster and indie fare.

Go to Disney+ Bundle Duo (Disney+ and Hulu)

Price: $9.99/month

Device availability: Amazon Fire TV, Android, Apple TV, Hisense, iOS, LG, PlayStation, Roku, Website, Xbox

Disney+ AMEX bundle

If you have an American Express Platinum card, you can get up to $20 in credit statement when you sign up for a Disney+ subscription directly on the site using your card. This applies to all of Disney+'s offered services, whether it's their most basic, ad-supported on-demand service, which costs $8/month, or their premium bundle that combines Disney+ with Hulu and ESPN+, which can cost up to $20/month. Availing of the Disney+ AMEX bundle lets you save up on these streaming costs and could help you rack up to $240 in annual savings. Just don't forget to enroll your card on AMEX's site, and you should be ready to enjoy this bundle's benefits.

Price: $7.99/month

Device availability: Amazon Fire TV, Android, Android TV, Apple TV, iOS, PlayStation, Roku, Xbox

Disney+ (No Ads Bundle)

For $7 more, you can upgrade your Disney+ Trio Bundle, which costs $13 and includes Hulu and ESPN+, for a premium version. The Disney+ no-ads bundle has everything the regular bundle has, but this one allows you to watch Disney+ and Hulu without ads (unfortunately they will still be present in ESPN+) and download movies and TV episodes you can watch offline or on the go. These may be small changes for some, but they can make all the difference for others. Depending on your needs, the premium Disney+ bundle could be a worthy addition to your streaming lineup.

Go to Disney+ (No Ads Bundle)

Price: $19.99/month

Device availability: Amazon Fire TV, Android, Apple TV, iOS, PlayStation, Roku, Xbox

DirecTV+ Showtime Bundle

With the DirecTV + Showtime Bundle, you get the premium channel and all its critically acclaimed films, documentaries, and TV shows (including current fan favorites Billions and Yellowjackets) on top of your live TV subscription for a reduced price. You also get Showtime's roster of live sporting events, which cover boxing, MMA, and football, to name a few. Once you purchase the bundle, DirecTV automatically adds Showtime to your channel lineup and allows you to use your DirecTV credentials to log in to the Showtime app.

DirecTV likes to vary the discounts, but at the moment, it offers Showtime 50% off for 3 months, which means you only have to pay $5.50/month until the deal expires. After that, DirecTV automatically charges you the regular price of $11.99/month.

Go to DirecTV+ Showtime Bundle

Price: $77/month

Device availability: Amazon Fire TV, Android, Android TV, Apple TV, iOS, Roku, Roku TV, Samsung TV

DirecTV+ Max bundle

If you have an existing DirecTV subscription, or if you're considering getting one, you might have heard of the DirecTV + Max bundle. It exists because Max, a premium service that's home to TV series like Game of Thrones and Succession and film franchises like the DC Cinematic Universe and Harry Potter, doesn't come pre-installed in most DirecTV packages, except in its $155 Premier plan. With this bundle, however, you're free to choose from any of DirecTV's plans, which begin at $64.99/month, and bundle in Max for free for the first three months. After that, you're automatically charged the usual ad-free price, which is $15.99/month. The bundle also gives you access to HBO channels, which will be added to your current lineup, and to the Max app, which you can sign into using your DirecTV credentials. Considering Max itself doesn't offer free trials, subscribing to this bundle could save you a considerable amount.

Price: $80.98/month

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.
