Last updated September 19, 2026. Hulu has not announced a 2026 Black Friday offer as of this date. Everything below about 2026 is an informed expectation based on past deals, and every price marked “2025” is a confirmed past offer. Terms change, so confirm details on Hulu.com or Disney+ before you buy.
If you are searching this in September, the honest answer is that there is nothing to claim yet. But Hulu has run a Black Friday promotion for years, and the pattern is consistent enough to plan around. Here is what to expect and how to avoid the common mistakes.
Is There a Hulu Black Friday Deal in 2026?
Not yet announced, but a deal is likely. Black Friday falls on November 27, 2026, and Cyber Monday on November 30, 2026. Hulu’s promotions typically start in the days before Thanksgiving weekend and run through Cyber Monday. Streaming sites also note that Hulu has historically offered one of the better streaming deals of the season.
Treat any site that claims to list a “confirmed 2026 Hulu price” with suspicion. Nothing official exists until Hulu or Disney publishes it.
What Was the Hulu Black Friday 2025 Deal?
In 2025, the headline offer was the Disney+ and Hulu bundle (with ads) for $4.99 per month for 12 months. TV Guide reported the window ran from Tuesday, November 25 through Monday, December 1, open to new and eligible returning subscribers.
| Offer (2025) | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Disney+ and Hulu (with ads) bundle | $4.99/month for 12 months | Was $12.99/month, saving about $95 over a year |
| Starz add-on | $2.99/month for a year | Normally $10.99 per month |
| HBO Max add-on | $2.99/month for a year | Normally $9.99 per month for the ad-supported tier |
| Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Unlimited bundle | $29.99/month for up to 12 months | Ran until January 5, 2026 |
The math is easy to check: 12 months at $4.99 is $59.88, against $155.88 at $12.99. That is roughly a $96 saving.
Was There a Hulu $0.99 Deal? What About 99 Cents in 2025?
The 99-cent Hulu With Ads deal was real in earlier years, but the 2025 headline offer was $4.99 for the bundle. One outlet reports that the last 99-cent deal it saw ran over Black Friday and Cyber Monday and lasted a year, and that it was for an ad-supported subscription. One deal aggregator did list a 99-cent offer under its 2025 coverage, but that conflicts with TV Guide and TechRadar. Community threads also show shoppers asking whether there was no 99-cent deal that year.
My read: the trend is that Hulu’s entry price has crept up, and the offer shifted from a standalone Hulu plan to a Disney+ bundle. Expect something in the $2 to $5 range per month for a year, but not a guaranteed 99 cents.
Who Qualifies for a Hulu Black Friday Deal?
New subscribers and, usually, returning subscribers who have been away for a while. Current paying Hulu customers are generally excluded.
- New subscribers: eligible.
- Returning subscribers: eligible in 2025. A common definition is someone who has not been subscribed for at least a month, though the exact rule can change by year.
- Current subscribers: typically not eligible. One outlet notes that existing Hulu customers can’t get the standalone deals or trials, though some bundle offers have been open to people already on Hulu or Disney+.
- Third-party billing: if you subscribe through a partner such as a carrier, deal eligibility can differ. Read the fine print.
What Happens When the Hulu Deal Ends?
The price jumps to the regular rate, and the plan auto-renews. The 2025 bundle deal moved to $12.99 per month after the first year, according to a Slickdeals post from launch week. Hulu’s own bundle terms elsewhere say subscriptions automatically renew at the then-current monthly price.
To avoid a surprise charge:
- Put a calendar reminder 10 to 14 days before month 12.
- Check your renewal price in account settings.
- Decide whether to keep it, downgrade, or cancel.
How to Cancel Hulu
Cancel from your account page on the site where you were billed. Sign in, open your account settings, and choose the cancel option. If you were billed through Apple, Roku, Amazon, or another partner, you must cancel there. Cancel before the renewal date, because most cancellations take effect at the end of the billing period.
What Does Hulu Cost Right Now?
Hulu (With Ads) is listed at $11.99 per month and Hulu (No Ads) at $18.99, based on mid-2026 listings. Hulu + Live TV starts at $89.99, and the Disney+ and Hulu Duo Basic bundle is listed at $12.99. Prices vary slightly by source and billing method, so verify on Hulu.com.
| Plan | Approx. monthly price |
|---|---|
| Hulu (With Ads) | $11.99 |
| Hulu (No Ads) | $18.99 |
| Disney+ and Hulu Bundle Basic (with ads) | $12.99 |
| Disney+ and Hulu Bundle Premium (no ads) | $19.99 |
| Hulu + Live TV (with ads) | $89.99 |
Fresh news that affects planning: Disney raised the legacy Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Select bundle from $24.99 to $27.99 on September 17, 2026. That bundle is closed to new sign-ups, so it will not be part of a Black Friday deal. A broader shift is also coming: sources report that Disney plans to integrate Hulu content into Disney+ by the end of 2026, with no plans to sunset the Hulu app itself. That could change how the next promotion is worded, but there is no confirmed timeline.
Is the Hulu Black Friday Deal Worth It?
Yes, if you will use the service for the full year or can cancel on schedule. At $4.99 per month, the 2025 bundle was less than half the regular price of the same package. It is less useful if you only want one show for a month, because a discounted year is still a year-long commitment.
Good fits:
- Households that already pay for Disney+ and want to add Hulu.
- People who can tolerate ads.
- Anyone willing to set a renewal reminder.
Poor fits:
- Viewers who want ad-free viewing (the deal covered ad-supported tiers).
- Anyone who will forget to check the renewal price.
Do Add-Ons Like Starz and HBO Max Make Sense?
Only if you would otherwise pay full price for them. Both were $2.99 per month for a year in 2025, which is a strong discount. But a cheap add-on you never watch is still wasted money.
What Can You Watch on Hulu?
Hulu’s on-demand library covers current and past TV, films, and originals, including FX productions and Hulu Originals such as The Bear. The Disney+ bundle adds the Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and Nat Geo catalogs. Live TV and sports coverage require the more expensive Hulu + Live TV plan.
Hulu vs. Peacock and Other Black Friday Streaming Deals
Hulu’s bundle was among the biggest streaming discounts of 2025, but competitors ran their own. Variety noted that streaming services offered lower monthly costs than usual, including Paramount+ at $2.99 per month. Peacock’s 2025 offers were more fragmented, including student pricing at $2.99 per month and military and teacher pricing at $3.99 for 12 months. Its 2024 offer was $19.99 for a year of Premium, running from November 26 to December 2.
How to Prepare and Get Alerts
- Do not cancel early unless you can re-qualify. Some shoppers cancel a paid plan and rejoin during Black Friday, but eligibility rules can change.
- Watch official pages. Hulu.com and Disney+ post deals first.
- Use a page-change monitor. Tools such as Visualping can alert you when a promotion page updates.
- Compare bundles. Disney bundles sometimes beat a standalone Hulu price.
- Read the terms. Check eligibility, ad tier, renewal price, and end date before paying.
