Apple TV has always kept it simple with a single ad-free subscription plan. The Cyber Monday deal offers six months of this subscription at a rate of $5.99/month, adding up to around $36 total. Six months at the regular Apple TV pricing, now $12.99/month after a recent price hike, would add up to around $78, making this over a 50% discount.

The deal is available to both new and returning subscribers, but there are some caveats. If you have Apple TV through a third party, like your internet plan, you unfortunately will not qualify. Same deal goes for if you happen to be eligible for the three-month free trial included with most Apple purchases, which I'd argue is a better deal anyway.

Aside from the $3 increase to its subscription cost, Apple TV also recently removed the “+” from its name as part of an ongoing rebrand. Per Apple's press release, the aim is to foster a "vibrant new identity."

That doesn’t seem to mean too much of a shift in their library. The big Apple TV exclusive right now is Pluribus, a new sci-fi series from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan that stars Rhea Seehorn. Other Apple TV staples include Severance, Silo, The Studio, and Ted Lasso. It may have a smaller library than something like Netflix, but Apple TV certainly has the juice.

When Does the Apple TV Deal End?

Apple TV states clearly on their site that the deal lasts until December 1 at 8pm PT.

More Cyber Monday Highlights So Far

On the streaming front, Crunchyroll has launched a Cyber Monday sale for the anime-inclined, while a Walmart+ deal is currently your best bet for Peacock or Paramount+. You can check out some more streaming highlights below.

Otherwise, Amazon has already launched its big sale, which happens to include plenty of Apple products. You can check out our full breakdown of Cyber Monday for more guidance through the deals chaos.

Now, $20 off a $120 subscription is not exactly incredible in the grand scheme of things. Across Cyber Monday streaming deals, we've seen closer to 70% discounts on major services like Disney+ and Apple TV. However, Crunchyroll has historically been on the Netflix side of things by never discounting their streaming plans, at least not by themselves. As such, $20 off is pretty much the best deal I’ve seen.

Mega Fan subscriptions typically cost $11.99/month, which would add up to a little over $143/year. The annual subscription usually costs $119.99, already offering around a 16% discount over the monthly cost. The Cyber Monday deal increases that discount to 30%.

Crunchyroll was also kind enough to offer a firm timeline on how long the discount will be available: until midnight on Cyber Monday. That's tonight, by the way. If you do get a subscription sooner rather than later, you can stack a membership discount on top of any existing Cyber Monday deals in the Crunchyroll Store.

You Can Also Get Two Months for $2.99 Through Prime Video

If you are dedicated to the monthly subscription side, you also have options! Amazon’s Cyber Monday sale has already gone live and features a spread of discounts on Prime Video Channel Add-Ons.

This is really only a deal if you’re already a Prime Member (which is 50% off for anyone aged 18-24), but if the Prime subscription is already baked into your spending bill, you can grab two months of Crunchyroll for $2.99/month. Just try and remember that your subscription will automatically renew at the standard $11.99/month pricing after those two months.

What About the Other Crunchyroll Plans?

The Crunchyroll Mega Fan plan is ideal for anyone who just wants to stream as much anime as possible. You get unlimited, ad-free viewing of everything on the site on up to four devices. You can also download anime to take on the road.

While this mid-tier plan is the only one with a discount, you can still sign up for a seven-day free trial for the cheaper “Fan” plan, which includes ads and a limited library, or the priciest ‘Ultimate Fan’ plan, which now includes access to Crunchyroll manga.

Disney+ with Hulu bundle with ads usually costs $12.99 per month, but at $4.99 a month, subscribers will save close to $100 for the year. That's quite a deal at a time when streaming plans are pricier than ever. It's easily the cheapest way to get caught up on all things Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars. With Hulu, you’ll get an unreal batch of comfort shows like Always Sunny, Abbott Elementary, and New Girl as well as more dramatic Hulu originals like Shōgun and The Handmaid’s Tale.

Ad-Free Bundle Also Discounted

The big catch, of course, is you’re stuck with ads. Good thing that, unlike other streaming services, Disney has discounted the ad-free Disney+ with Hulu Premium bundle for Black Friday. It's not quite as big a discount by percentage, at $5 off a $19.99-per-month subscription, but that's still $60 in savings for a year of watching all the Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar you can handle, with no startling ad breaks jammed in.

When Does the Sale End?

Both deals are live until midnight on December 1. Because the deal lasts for a full year, you’ll be all set until the next round of Black Friday discounts.

More Cyber Monday Streaming Deals

Pretty much every Cyber Monday streaming deal is live until midnight. If you’re already a Hulu subscriber, you can tack HBO Max into your subscription as a Premium Add-On for $2.99/mo, over 70% off the standard price. That deal is also available through HBO Max itself.

Unfortunately we're not seeing any deals on standalone Hulu, but Apple TV is offering six months at $5.99/mo, while Crunchyroll has knocked $20 off its annual ad-free subscription plans. The new Disney+ bundle with ESPN Unlimited is also still discounted for new subscribers.

You can also check out what's coming to Disney+ next month for a sneak peek at what you're paying for. If you’re in the market for more than just subscriptions, feel free to scroll through our full breakdown of this year's Cyber Monday deals.

By far and away one of the most popular Black Friday deals we’ve seen at IGN this year is the Disney+ discount. While there aren’t any standalone offers for either service, Disney+ and Hulu are offering 12 months of their ad-supported bundle for $4.99 each month or the same bundle without ads for $14.99.

The ad-supported deal is $2 more expensive than last year, which roughly equates with the price increases on both services since then. On the plus side, this is the first Disney+ Cyber Monday deal we’ve seen on the ad-free plan.

HBO Max Deal: 12 Months for $2.99

The best deal this year by the numbers is also the one that locks you into ads. HBO Max is offering a full year of its Basic subscription plan for $2.99 each month. That's over 70% off the regular rate of $10.99. The discount is also available as an add-on through Hulu if you’re trying to keep your subscriptions in one place.

Apple TV Deal: 6 Months for $5.99

One of my top recommendations from this list, Apple TV only offers one subscription plan, so you’re never getting ads. With six months for $5.99 each month instead of $11.99, you get that colorful new intro as well as access to some of the best TV shows from the past couple of years. (Looking at you, Severance.) If you’re looking for the quality of the HBO Max library but without the ads, I’d give this one a try.

Crunchyroll Deal: $20 Off 12 Months of Mega Fan

Not the prettiest numbers I've ever seen, but I'm giving the anime streaming service some credit because I wasn't expecting any Cyber Monday deals from them at all. If you're already paying for Crunchyroll, you might as well get a full year for as cheap as you can. The Mega Fan membership includes the full Crunchyroll anime library without ads and also gives you an extra 15% discount on all of the merch and home video releases in the Crunchyroll Store.

Paramount+ Deal: 2 Months for $2.99

Paramount+ is offering what I’d consider an extended free trial. You get two months of the ad-free Premium plan, which includes the Showtime library, for $2.99 each month, adding up to just shy of $6. At least that’s enough time to catch up on the new South Park episodes.

If you’re interested in Paramount+ specifically for next year’s UFC matches, note that the partnership kicks off on January 24, pretty much exactly when this deal ends. With that in mind, I’d actually recommend the next deal on this list instead.

Peacock Deal: 50% Off Walmart+ Subscriptions

I can’t hide my feelings: Peacock is the big disappointment of this year’s Cyber Monday deals. The streaming service, which did recently launch a new bundle with Apple TV, has not brought back their ‘full year for $19.99’ deal from last year.

Instead, the best deal you can get for Peacock right now is actually through Walmart. Walmart+ subscriptions include either Paramount+ or Peacock Premium, and annual plans have dropped from $98 to $49 upfront. This is also your best shot at getting a Paramount+ deal that lasts through next year’s UFC schedule.

Even if you don’t shop at Walmart, these are the best prices you’ll get on either of these services over a full year. You’ll also get free shipping, member-exclusive discounts, and early access to new releases like Pokemon TCG drops.

Cyber Monday Streaming Deals FAQ

What’s the best streaming deal for sports?

Sports streaming is a mess, to be honest, and the best deal really comes down to which channels or leagues you care about watching. In terms of pricing, the new Disney+ bundle with ESPN Unlimited is discounted to $29.99/mo for new subscribers until January, significantly lower than most live TV subscriptions. An alternative, YouTube TV, is down to $72.99 from $82.99 for your first three months.

Is there a Netflix Cyber Monday deal?

Nope. Netflix never has discounts, and I sincerely doubt that will change any time soon.
