Active-duty military personnel and veterans will be pleased to know that several streaming platforms offer military discounts. As of this writing, the markdowns range from 10% (namely, Hulu with Ads) to a whopping 50% (Paramount+). Fubo even shaves off $10, but only for the first two months. The offers vary in terms of price deduction and sharing plans, but in most cases, you will need to verify your status (either through SheerID or a third-party like GovX) to prove your eligibility. You can read more about the eligible services and their discounts in the list below.
We have covered streaming in America at A Good Movie to Watch since 2012, longer than most of the services on this page have existed. We run each one ourselves, track what the price actually becomes once the promo ends, and recheck every month.
We have grouped every deal by what you actually get with it, so you can jump straight to the kind you want. Use the menu to skip around.

If you’re a hardcore baseball fan, you’ll be glad to know you can tune in to your favorite pastime via MLB.TV, the league’s official streaming service. Previously MLB.TV offered All Teams and Single Team packages, but it’s replacing them with more affordable tiers that start at $5.99/month. The cheapest plan allows you to stream MLB Network 24/7 and tune into extensive baseball coverage and analyses, while the MLB.TV + At Bat plan, which costs $6.99/month, adds access to La Liga Dominicana (Spanish only), live Spring Training games, and archives from past seasons. An important reminder: if you’re still on the cord and have the MLB Extra Innings cable TV package, you’re likely entitled to a free MLB.TV subscription. Contact your provider to check whether you’re eligible.
