The 17 best streaming bundles and packages we found for May 2025 (2025)

We’re at the height of the Streaming Wars, and deciding for which platform you’re willing to pay a premium can be as challenging as figuring out your favorite ice cream on a hot summer’s day. There are countless options, each offering a similarly satisfying selection, with something new debuting seemingly every week.

However, some are just better than others. It all depends on what mood you’re in, right? Well, much like ice cream, there are streaming services that offer something yummy for just about everyone’s taste.

Similes aside, the reality is that streaming services are how most TV watchers watch TV. According to data aggregator Statista, there will be over 182.26 million streaming service users in the U.S. this year. By 2027, that number is predicted to be nearly 202.6 million.

Streaming can quickly get pricey, though — that’s the beauty of deal packages like the Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ bundle, or Max, which bundles a ton of Discovery networks (Food Network, TLC, etc.) with all things HBO and live sports from TNT and TBS, all for one low price. Even streamers like Prime Video have bundle options: with Prime Video Channels, you can add a number of streamers onto your Prime Video app.

So how do you decide what you need? Easy. You come to Decider.

Disney+

If shows like Andor and Ironheart are on your radar, you’ll want to purchase a Disney+ subscription. In addition to movies and series from the classic Walt Disney collection, it also gives parents and fans of all ages access to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (so you can finally watch all the Marvel movies in order), plus Pixar, Star Wars, National Geographic, and even 20th Century Fox content like The Simpsons and some Hulu titles.

Currently, Disney+ offers multiple bundle options to fit various budgets and needs. The basic ad-supported plan costs $9.99/month, but to get Disney+ ad-free, you’ll pay $15.99/month. Based on these prices, a bundle option may be more cost-effective if you were already considering subscribing to Hulu, ESPN+, or Max, or are already a subscriber of any of those services.

Amazon Prime Video

Suppose, for whatever reason, you haven’t succumbed to the Amazon juggernaut yet. If that’s the case, now is your chance to finally join the masses and stream original Prime Video series such as the award-winning Fallout, but also thousands of other TV series and movies like the exclusive Reacher and The Wheel of Time.

Prime Video is one of the perks of an Amazon Prime membership, along with the signature two-day free shipping and some Prime-exclusive pricing during shopping events like Prime Day. Amazon Prime currently costs $14.99/month or $139.00/year. If you’re not interested in all that Prime offers, the company offers a standalone subscription to Prime Video for $8.99/month.

As of January 2024, Prime Video plays limited ads during movies and shows, but you can pay an additional $2.99/month to remove them.

You can also add over 100 streaming services onto your Prime Video subscription to combine multiple subscriptions into one service. Here are just a few of those:

With a subscription to Hulu, you’ll be able to watch originals like Only Murders in the Building, FX on Hulu titles like The Bear, and new episodes of ABC and Fox broadcast shows like 9-1-1 and Grey’s Anatomy the day after they air on TV. When you bundle, you’ll also be able to watch all of Hulu’s content in the Disney+ app.

Currently, Hulu offers two subscription options and a handful of bundles to fit all of your streaming needs. With ads, you can subscribe to Hulu alone for $9.99/month after a 30 day free trial, and without ads, $18.99/month. These are the other bundles available with Hulu.

There’s a vast library of current and classic TV and film just waiting to be explored with Max. Additionally, ad-free plans include live sports and live CNN.

Peacock

Similarly to Paramount+, Peacock is a streaming service that debuts their own original content while also being the streaming home for an entire family of cable networks, namely the NBC Universal ones. That means you can watch currently-airing NBC titles like the Law and Order franchise and Saturday Night Live the day after they air on NBC, plus a backlog of NBC shows that includes all of their iconic sitcoms — The Office, Parks and Rec, and more.

The same goes for all things Bravo; Real Housewives, Below Deck, Southern Charm, and more are all streaming in full on Peacock. You can watch all of the past seasons, plus new episodes of new seasons the morning after they air on Bravo.

Peacock also premieres Focus Features, DreamWorks, and Universal Pictures movies after theatrical runs; recent titles include Trolls: Band Together, Oppenheimer, and The Holdovers.

Peacock currently has two plans after eliminating their free plan in early 2023. The plan with ads is either $7.99/month. To get rid of ads, you’ll pay $13.99/month or $139.99/year.

DEAL ALERT! Right now, Peacock’s annual plan with ads is just $24.99 for the first year. You’ll save nearly 80% on an entire year of streaming. After the first year, it’ll renew at $79.99/year.

DIRECTV

What sets DIRECTV apart from other live TV streaming services is that channel selection mimics the kind of selection you’d get from a traditional cable subscription with cable boxes and all of that — which is fitting, since DIRECTV is known for satellite cable.

In addition to including all your local news channels, like affiliates of NBC, CBS, and Fox, you’ll also get your local sports channels — the specialized networks like MSG or YES in New York and various regional Fox Sports affiliates — based on the market you’re located in.

We’ve found that this service has the most well-rounded selection of local channels in a base plan and the most variety, especially with the newly-released Genre Packs.

• MySports ($69.99/month) – 25+ channels, including everything you’ll need to tune into your favorite sporting events
• MyEntertainment ($34.99/month) – 40+ channels and the Disney+ and Hulu basic bundle
• MyNews ($39.99/month) – 10+ channels with news coverage from across the political spectrum
• MiEspañol ($34.99/month) – 50+ Spanish-language networks

Once you’ve chosen a Genre Pack, you can add on additional packs and services.

If you’re looking for the more classic DIRECTV experience, you can still subscribe to the Entertainment ($86.99/month), Choice ($89.99/month for the first three months), or Ultimate ($104.99/month for the first three months) base plans.

Apple TV+

Apple got into streaming video in 2019, giving subscribers to its Apple TV+ service access to original programming like The Morning Show, with Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, and the critically acclaimed Ted Lasso, which garnered over 40 Emmy nominations over a three season run, as well as more than 40 other original shows and movies.

Though the days of Apple offering a one-year free trial are over, you can still take advantage of a three-month free trial by purchasing a new eligible Apple device or a seven-day free trial without a new device. Once that trial is over, or if you’re ineligible, Apple TV+ costs $9.99/month.

Like a few other services on this list, Apple allows you to purchase add-on streaming services that you can access right in the Apple TV app, including their very own MLS streaming app.

What sports are streaming on Apple TV? MLB Friday Night Baseball, MLS

What to look forward to in 2025: Your Friends and Neighbors (currently airing), Government Cheese (currently airing), Murderbot (currently airing), Fountain of Youth (5/23), Stick (6/4), The Buccaneers Season 2 (6/18), Smoke (6/27), Highest 2 Lowest (9/5), F1 (TBA 2025)

Right now, you can get Philo’s basic channel bundle for just $28.00/month after a seven-day free trial.

Want more premium channels? You can add-on content from MGM+ for $5.99/month and Starz for $9.99/month.

Sling TV

Sling TV has three different packages to choose from, and they each have something fantastic to offer. If you’re interested in family-friendly programs, go with Sling Orange ($45.99/month). It has 32 channels, including seven exclusive for sports, and family. Sling Blue ($50.99/month) is a great option if you’re an entertainment or news buff, while Sling Orange + Blue ($65.99/month) has 22 exclusive channels (46 in total) to enjoy.

For a limited time, the streaming service is offering 50% off your first month, which means you can start watching for as low as $23!

There’s also a Sling offer running that’ll give you a month of free AMC+ in addition to your Sling channels and you can snag Max for 50% off during your first month and $5 off every month after.

Paramount+

This updated streaming service is a rebrand of CBS All Access. You’ll find a huge library of TV episodes, films, live sporting events, and original content from entities including CBS, BET, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Pictures, Pluto TV, movies from Paramount Pictures, and more.

Paramount+ restructured its streaming plans to integrate Showtime, which no longer operates as a standalone streaming service. If you’re looking for just Paramount+ content, and don’t mind a few ads, the essential plan is $7.99/month or $59.99/year (37% off!).

For $12.99/month or $119.99/year (23% off!), get Paramount+ with Showtime — this is now the only way to watch all of Showtime’s original series, like Yellowjackets and The Chi and a library of acclaimed movies, including A24’s catalog, without a linear cable subscription. This plan will also give you your live local CBS affiliate.

You can also subscribe to Paramount+ via Prime Video.

fuboTV

This live 4K streaming option has over 100 channels, including almost every broadcast and cable network. But what might make it more attractive for many viewers is the addition of loads of niche sports networks like MSG, Golf Network, FS2 and BeIN Sports.

Fubo TV has two base plans, both with a one-week free trial: Pro and Elite. Here’s a breakdown of what each plan will get you:

• Pro ($84.99/month): 232 channels including RSNs, unlimited cloud DVR, 100+ live sporting events, and unlimited screens
• Elite ($94.99/month): Everything included in Pro, plus 67 additional channels

Deal Alert! Right now, you can save $20 on your first month of fuboTV when you subscribe to one of the base plans listed above.

Additional channel bundles, like Fubo Extra and News Plus, are available as a la carte add-ons, but by subscribing to a plan that already includes them, you’ll be receiving a monthly discount. Other add-ons not included in one of the base plans are Starz ($9.99/month), Sports Plus with NFL RedZone ($10.99/month), and NBA League Pass ($14.99/month). The service also offers add-ons for international viewers who speak Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese.

Starz

Get some of the most popular original series around, like Outlander and BMF, plus a massive library of great movies for one low price of $10.99/month. The service continues to grow in popularity as it also continues to invest in the Power series with new spinoff titles.

You can also get two months of Starz for $2.99/month if you subscribe via Prime Video Channels.

DAZN

DAZN is a sports-focused streaming service that offers live and on-demand coverage of a wide range of events, including boxing, MMA, soccer, and more. It provides flexible access across devices, allowing fans to watch their favorite sports anytime, anywhere. Known for exclusive rights to major fights and leagues in various countries, DAZN is a go-to platform for dedicated sports enthusiasts.

Most major MMA fights require both a subscription and a PPV. If you prefer a more flexible option, you can subscribe to DAZN for $29.99/month, but you can also subscribe to a Monthly Saver plan that locks you into a $19.99/month plan for 12 months — that’s 33% cheaper than the flexible monthly plan when you add it all up.

Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV will stream all your live TV, and it also comes with three great streaming services as a bonus. A subscription will get you access to Hulu, Disney+, ESPN+,andover 90 live TV channels all for $82.99/month.

We’ve found that Hulu + Live TV has the most inclusive and well-rounded selection of channels included with a base subscription — unlike some of the other services, which only offer some fairly common channels in add-on packages, the only add-ons Hulu + Live TV offers (aside from premium channels like Max, Starz, and Showtime) are for more specialized channels. You can stream on two screens at a time and all subscriptions now come with unlimited cloud DVR storage

NordVPN

To watch anything from anywhere, a VPN like NordVPN will be your new streaming best friend.

Known for its fast and reliable server connections, NordVPN is regarded as one of the best options in the market. It has an expansive collection of servers worldwide. More importantly, it comes equipped with several privacy and security features that protect your device against malware and keep your browsing safe and anonymous.

The service offers 1-and-2-year plans that start as low as $3.39/month paid all at once (paid monthly, plans start at $12.99/month), and often have free months thrown in to extend your coverage further — right now, it’s up to one year free.

Netflix

Far from the days of mailing DVDs in red sleeves, Netflix is still the largest streaming service in the world, with over 240 million subscribers worldwide. If you aren’t one of those customers, it may be time to consider the monthly plans. In addition to a massive library of TV shows and movies, Netflix has its own studio. It offers an impressive stream of popular original films and shows, like steamy Shondaland favorite Bridgerton and fan favorites like Squid Game and, of course, Stranger Things.

The streamer currently offers three plans, with the cheapest being the most recent addition to its lineup. For $7.99/month, you can stream Netflix in standard definition with ads. To get rid of ads, plans start at $17.99/month for full high definition, and $24.99/month for streaming in up to 4K UHD on up to four screens at a time.

As Netflix recently cracked down on password sharing, you can add profiles for people who don’t live in your immediate household to your account for $6.99/month extra if you have either of the two ad-free plans.

What sports are streaming on Netflix? NFL Christmas Day games, WWE Raw

What to look forward to in 2025: Big Mouth Season 8 (5/23), Squid Game Season 3 (6/27), The Old Guard 2 (7/2), Stranger Things Season 5 (TBA 2025)
