We're getting ever nearer to Black Friday 2024, with the annual deals day falling this year on Friday, November 29. It's a great time to get discounts on almost anything you'd spend money on, and so the question on streaming fan lips though is 'will there be a Black Friday discount on Netflix?'.
Netflix is the world's most subscribed-to streaming service, hosting a huge library of Netflix Originals as well as loads of third-party movies and TV shows, and it's also testing the waters of live events currently too. The Netflix free trials of yesteryear are no more making a Black Friday deal on the streamer tempting.
This year, Black Friday falls on Friday, November 29, and it'll be the climactic date in a several-week-long sales period that'll see discounts to plenty of products and services including streaming services. We often see discounts begin a week prior and end around Cyber Monday, the Monday after Black Friday.
It's hard to say given that Black Friday 2024 is currently a few weeks out, but based on precedent we can make some predictions as to whether there will be a Netflix sale. So let's take a look as to whether there will be Netflix deal over Black Friday.

- Netflix Black Friday deals

- Paramount Plus Black Friday deals
- Prime Video & Channels Black Friday deals
- Max Black Friday deals

Will Netflix have Black Friday deals on subscriptions?
Based on past years, it seems very unlikely that there will be a discount on a Netflix subscription over Black Friday.
In the last few years, Netflix hasn't budged its price over the sales period, and we've got no reason to believe that'll change in 2024. In fact, there's even more reason to believe that the streamer will retain its usual prices.
That's because over the last year, Netflix has been rolling out the Netflix with ads plan, giving subscribers who want to save money on a subscription a tempting option without sales.
So that's the end of the article, right? Not quite. Because even though there probably won't be a Black Friday deal on Netflix subscriptions, the streaming service likely will still offer a sale...
We should also put a caveat for streamers in the UK. While Netflix doesn't offer a deal on subscriptions, Sky TV does, and it includes a Netflix subscription as part of every one of its tiers. So while Sky TV does cost more than Netflix, it's technically still a deal that'll net you access to the major streamer, and you can find out more in our Sky TV Black Friday deals page here.
Will Netflix have Black Friday deals on anything else?
In past years, Netflix has offered sales over Black Friday, specifically on its online merch store which in 2023 saw discounts to basically every product listed online.
The Netflix merch shop has clothing, costumes, games, mugs, posters, gift sets, vinyls, books and more across its various franchises.
There are items based around its biggest franchises like Squid Game, Stranger Things and Bridgerton, as well as certain newer ones. Some shows and movies which have merch lines available ahead of Black Friday include Emily in Paris season 4, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F and Cobra Kai season 6.
There's already a merch line ready for Outer Banks season 4, which is due to release on Thursday, October 10, and Heartstopper season 3, which is set to arrive one week earlier on Thursday, October 3.
Beyond Netflix's own merch sale, we'll likely see discounts on Amazon that could affect Netflix-related items. For example the books that The Witcher is based on, or the comic books that inspired The Umbrella Academy, can be bought online and will possibly see discounts.
Netflix merch store Black Friday deals
At the time of writing, the Netflix merch store doesn't have a Black Friday deal running, despite having a Black Friday landing page on the site. We'll update this page as soon as the deal starts.
The Black Friday Event page on the Netflix Shop lists quite a few Stranger Things posters and tops as well as a sole cuddly Bridgerton toy, but none have discounts. We expect that this will change as Black Friday gets closer.
There are two ways to get discounts now, though. Firstly, signing up for the Netflix shop mailing list gets you 15% off an order (you can't miss the prompts if you go onto the website, they're everywhere). Secondly, and temporarily, the shop is offering 25% off hoodies with the code HOODIEHOLIDAY and you can find a list of the store's eligible items here.
How much is Netflix a month?
Before any deals or discounts, how much does Netflix normally cost?
The usual price per month of Netflix varies depending on your plan. At the cheapest end of the spectrum is the ad-supported tier, then there's the Standard plan which lets you avoid ads, then there's also a Premium tier which lets you stream 4K videos as well as some extra perks.
The ad-supported tier costs $6.99 / £4.99 per month while Standard costs $15.49 / £10.99 a month and Premium will set you back $22.99 / £17.99 per month.
Netflix also used to have another plan which works like the ad-supported plan but without ads, which it no longer offers. However subscribers who were on this plan still remain on it, and it costs $11.99 / £7.99 each month.
