Streaming isn’t the cost-effective miracle it once seemed. Just a few years ago, when Max (formerly HBO Max) and Netflix were the only streaming providers, cutting the cord was a great way to avoid paying $100 (or more) a month for cable or satellite. However, other streaming companies have now entered the fray with their own buzzy programming, from Hulu to Paramount+, and major studios have launched their own streaming services with exclusive content. And with each of these services costing anywhere from $10 to $20 (and up to $100 or more for live TV providers), it’s all too easy to rack up a streaming bill that’s close to, if not more than, an expensive cable package.
In short, it's not cheap to watch the shows, movies, and live events that everyone is talking about – whether they're Agatha all the time On Disney+, The bear On Hulu, or UFC on ESPN+.
However, some streaming services offer deals that can significantly reduce your monthly bills. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best National Day streaming deals to take advantage of now.
