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:

DirecTV Sports Pack Bundle

When it comes to streaming, DirecTV has one of the most comprehensive sports bundles out there. Not only does it cover the essential live channels like NFL Redzone, NBA TV, and MLB Network, it also has over 30 out-of-market RSNs and multiple channels that cover specialty sports and top collegiate teams. The bundle itself costs $15/month, but needless to say, you need to be subscribed to one of DirecTV's packages, which start at $65/month, to purchase it.

Do note that some of DirecTV's base packages already include some of the channels in this sports bundle, so make sure you double-check the channel lineup below to avoid too many overlaps.

Price: $14.99/month

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

Cricket Wireless + Max Bundle

If you purchase Cricket Wireless' unlimited phone plan, you get a free account with Max bundled in. Through Max's ad-supported plan, you can watch countless HBO shows, Warner Brothers movies, and Discovery documentaries on your phone, and you can also create up to 5 profiles and simultaneously stream on 3 different devices (including a smart TV). This bundle is only available on Cricket's most expensive unlimited phone plan, which costs $60, but along with Max, it also comes with 15 GB mobile hotspot, 150 GB cloud storage, unlimited texts to select countries, and coverage extending to Mexico and Canada. It's a fair price and one of the few phone-streaming bundles available now that AT&T has discontinued its Max bundles.

Price: $60/month

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

Bally Sports+ Bundle

Bally Sports+ is a streaming service that lets you access live and on-demand content from your local NHL and NBA teams. The platform also covers some MLB markets, including Detroit, Florida, Kansas City, Wisconsin, and Tampa Bay, but it's working to expand that lineup to include the rest of the league's teams. A monthly subscription costs $20/month ($190 yearly), but if you live in an area that has multiple Bally Sports regional networks, you can choose to bundle those at a discounted rate. At the moment, Bally Sports+ is only available via the Bally Sports app, but this in turn can be accessed on major streaming devices including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and Apple TV.

Price: $19.99/month

Free Trial: 7 days

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

Amazon Prime Video and Paramount+ Bundle

The Amazon Prime Video and Paramount+ Bundle is for those looking to boost their streaming subscription with even more original shows, popular films, and live broadcasts of news and sports. Under the Paramount tent, you get ongoing franchises like Star Trek and Yellowstone, kids' TV shows like Spongebob Squarepants and Dora the Explorer, and blockbusters like Top Gun and Everything, Everywhere, All at Once—not to mention local CBS stations that stream news, sports, and other live events. And now that Paramount+ has merged with Showtime, you also get the latter network's enviable lineup of documentaries, series, and sporting coverages.

Since the merger is fairly new, Amazon Prime will occasionally offer the bundle at discounted rates, but generally, it still costs $11.99/month on top of Amazon's $14.99/month subscription. That's not a bad deal for a bundle packed with popular movies, original shows, and live TV.

Go to Amazon Prime Video and Paramount+ Bundle

Price: $26.98/month

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

Channel lineup: CBS local channels

Amazon Prime Video + Starz and MGM+ Bundle

Amazon Prime Video has nearly 100 channels you can stack onto your subscription, and their specialties range from news to sports to education. But if it's pure entertainment you're after, then the Starz and MGM+ bundle might be of interest to you. You can add the bundle to your Amazon Prime subscription for a discounted rate of $11.99, saving you about $3 versus getting each of them separately.

Amazon Prime already has a constantly replenished trove of originals, but Starz adds even more comedies, like Party Down and P-Valley, while MGM+ (formerly Epix) adds slick dramas like Godfather of Harlem, FROM, and A Spy Among Friends. It's a bundle made for serial TV fanatics.

Amazon Prime Video + Max Bundle

The Amazon Prime Video and Max bundle combines Prime's constant stream of originals with Max's vast array of programming (it has everything from HBO and TCM to Discovery and the Cartoon Network), making it an irresistible offering for true-blue TV fans. But apart from the lineup, what makes the Prime-Max bundle quite the standout is that it offers a 7-day free trial, a feature that currently isn't available on Max. So, if you're looking to test it out before committing to a subscription, this is one of the ways you can do that. Conveniently, the bundle also allows you to pay for everything under one bill via the Amazon platform.

The only downside here is that Max's more affordable, ad-supported tiers aren't available for choosing, meaning if you want Max on your Amazon Prime channel list, you'll have to make do with paying $16/month. Still, it's a reasonable trade-off for getting all of Max's properties without the hassle of interruptions and commercials.

Price: $30.98/month

Free Trial: 7 days

Amazon Prime Video + CuriosityStream Bundle

The great thing about Prime Video is that you can pick and choose whatever on-demand streaming service to add to your subscription. From Paramount+ to Shudder, Prime covers a pretty wide range of content that helps keep its roster as robust as it is (you can even get competitor HBO Max on your Prime lineup).

One of the more appealing bundles for documentary lovers is the Prime Video and CuriosityStream package, which allows you to pay for both under one billing. While CuriosityStream's cost per month has hiked up to $4.99, CuriosityStream (as of this writing, at least) still costs $2.99 on Prime, making this bundle quite the steal. If you're looking to access global documentaries on the Prime platform, then this package is certainly worth giving a look at.

Amazon Prime + PBS Kids (& Prime delivery bundle)

Following a multi-year deal signed by both parties, Amazon Prime is now the exclusive home of PBS Kids and all the entertaining and educational shows it carries. This bundle allows you to pay for Prime and PBS content under one bill while giving you all the useful perks of the former platform, namely, parental control and offline downloads so you can supervise what your kid watches and have episodes ready on the go. It's the perfect bundle if you're looking to have both mature content for the adults and appropriate shows for the young ones.

Amazon Prime + MGM+ Bundle

MGM dominated the film industry in the 20th century, and despite a slight dip in the early 2010s, it has proven to be a strong contender in the streaming era. With MGM+, the production company continues to put out originals like the dystopian series From, the crime thriller Godfather of Harlem, and Western shows like Billy the Kid. And this is on top of their extensive collection of classic films—it has everything from the 12 Angry Men to Stripes to Ghost World to Babel. All this makes for a significant add-on: MGM+ costs a reasonable $5.99 to add to your existing Amazon Prime subscription. With this bundle, you get to combine MGM+'s decades-long list of content with Prime's top-tier features like offline downloads, parental controls, 4k viewing, and Dolby surround sound.

Max Cinemax Prime Bundle

With Amazon Prime's Max Cinemax bundle, you get access to all three of the streamers' unique films and TV shows and pocket $4.99/month in savings. That's because the bundle offers Max Ad-free ($15.99/month) and Cinemax ($9.99/month) for just $20.99, in addition to your current Amazon Prime subscription. Some notable titles include House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, and every other HBO show you can think of, as well as the latest blockbusters on Cinemax. Like most bundles, this one also conveniently charges you under one bill, under Amazon, and you can cancel it anytime you want.

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.
