Hulu deals in 2025: here's how to save money on Hulu
We've got free trials, bundled packages and more
So, you're curious about Hulu? Well, one major thing you may want to consider is whether there's a deal out there that will save you precious pennies or any other way to reduce the cost upon joining this streamer.
Setting you back a fair amount at $9.99 per month - and that's the more affordable ad-supported tier - and $18.99 if you can't face the prospect of ads, Hulu is definitely one of the higher end platforms. And we've not even got on to Hulu with Live TV! That's its OTT cable alternative, or the annual plans or bundles Hulu is included in for those not in the know.
Fear not, as this writer has got your back and is constantly striving to get you the best deal for streaming deals, and you're in luck because I've found you some ways to save money on the cost. This sadly doesn't mean there's any deal on a subscription, there are some ways you can access Hulu's free trials and bundles which technically fall under 'Deals'.
Big events can be the cause of these deals such as when Black Friday and Cyber Monday which saw Hulu offer exclusive deals, which does mean however it may be a while until the next big saving deal. But in the meantime here's some ways to make the most of Hulu deals...
Is there a Hulu deal on right now?
At the time of writing, there's no current deal on a Hulu subscription. If you sign up, you'll have to pay the full price.
The last Hulu deal we saw was over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and it reduced the price of a monthly subscription down to $0.99 for an entire year. It was a great deal and I'm sorry if you missed it!
Is there a Hulu free trial right now?
If you're new to Hulu, you'll be happy to hear that there is a Hulu free trial. You can currently sign up and stream for an entire month before you need to pay.

You will need to enter your payment details and, once the time is up, your subscription will roll into a paid one. So set a reminder to cancel if you might forget.
Hulu with Live TV also offers a free trial on its cord-cutting OTT service, but it's only for three days. So make sure you've got time to watch if you're going for that one.
Is there a Hulu bundle right now?
There isn't a Hulu bundle; there are loads of them! Hulu offers countless ways to get access in collaboration with other streaming services.
First up is the Disney Bundle which combines Hulu with Disney Plus for $10.99 per month, and ESPN Plus as well for $16.99 monthly (and there are higher tiers if you want to stream without ads too). This is hugely popular, as you can imagine given that it's just $1 more expensive.
Another bundle packages Hulu with Disney Plus and Max and this too costs $16.99 per month. You can upgrade to an ad-free bundle too which is $29.99 per month.
Finally, the Hulu with Live TV that we've mentioned before also includes access to Hulu as part of most of the packages, so cord-cutting TV watchers can also get Hulu bundled in.
Hulu deals: FAQs
Could there be a Hulu Black Friday deal?
Hulu usually offers Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on a subscription, and it tends to be one of the best streaming deals out there.
However the next Black Friday is set to be Friday, November 28 of 2025, which is a long way out. So if you're waiting for a deal that might be too long to wait!
Can existing customers get Hulu deals?
Unfortunately, current Hulu customers can't get the Hulu deals or free trials, though you can get the Disney Bundle one if you're currently subscribed to Hulu or Disney Plus.
For the deals and trials, you have to be a new customer, or a returning one. Hulu and Disney Plus usually define 'returning' as someone who hasn't been subscribed for a month.
