While the Black Friday streaming deals won't come online until much nearer the time, you can actually secure some nice discounts right now.

Running until December 16, you can get an Audible subscription for just $/£0.99 per month for the first three months, giving you loads of time to explore a massive range of audio books including music biographies, autobiographies, horror classics, contemporary fiction, sci-fi and fantasy and much, much more.

Black Friday is always a great time to grab a brilliant streaming deal, with Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+, Hulu, HBO Max and Peacock TV just some of the big names who have cut subscription prices during the big sales event over recent years.

As for music, I expect to see some nice sub savings from the likes of Amazon Music Unlimited, Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer and Spotify.

With Black Friday set to take place on November 28, myself and the Louder team will be keeping our eye on streaming deals across the board and posting them right here so you don't miss a thing.

Audible: $0.99/£0.99p a month for 3 months
Audible is home to thousands of audiobooks and Amazon originals, and I consume much of my reading through the app. There’s loads of music biographies/autobiographies among the staggering number of choices - and this deal for just $0.99/£0.99p a month for the first 3 months is a steal, especially when you consider Audible usually costs $7.95/£8.99 a month.

When do the Black Friday streaming deals start?

As always, Black Friday takes place the day after Thanksgiving in the US, with this year's big sales event taking place on November 28. The Black Friday streaming deals will continue right through that weekend and right into Cyber Monday on December 1.

I'm keeping my eyes on promotions and deals on music streaming services, alongside film and TV streaming services and bringing you our favourites. So whether you want to explore a new streaming service or check out all the latest Black Friday music deals, I'll have it all covered right here on Louder.

What streaming deals can I expect to see?

I've been covering Black Friday since 2019 and have seen great discounts on TV, film and music streaming services in that time, especially over the last few years as more and more service have gone live.

What was once a niche market is now a hugely competitive space and I expect to see generous discounts on packages, extended trial periods and even cheaper deals on some of their 'with ads' subscriptions - a feature that's become increasingly common over recent years.

As for last year, I saw savings from streaming services including Amazon Music Unlimited, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount+, Peacock TV - and it's also worth noting that many of the big online shopping giants have been known to throw in a streaming subscription free for up to six months when buying a Bluetooth speaker or pair of headphones, for example. This can sometimes be squirrelled away in the small print, so keep your eyes peeled - or check out my list above for all the best streaming offers.

I have experience with the majority of UK streaming services, so I'm keeping on top of the Black Friday TV, film and music streaming deals that I think are worth your time and posting them on this page so you don't miss out.

With so many streaming services available to us, many of them will be cutting prices on their subscriptions on Black Friday to try and tempt you in.

Keeping track of everything on offer on top of all the other deals flying around is a bit like spinning plates, especially when the Black Friday streaming deals are competing with savings on music tech, pop-culture collectables and more.

Along with the wider Louder team, I'm on hand in the lead up to Black Friday to find you the best streaming deals, on the day itself, throughout the weekend and right the way through Cyber Monday, so keep this page bookmarked and check back often over the Black Friday weekend.

But to get you started, check out the streaming services as soon as you can to see if what they're offering appeals. For example, if you want access to the entire Star Wars universe and all things Marvel, then Disney+ is the streaming service for you.

If you want hi-res music streaming, Tidal, Apple Music and Amazon Music Unlimited are some the best, while Spotify is amazing for curated playlists. We put Apple Music up against Amazon Music Unlimited to see how they compared, so if you're curious, feel free to take a look at our thoughts.

Make a note and check the sites' social media channels around Black Friday - and don't forget to check this page too. Many offer extended trial periods, discounts and bundle deals.

How we choose services

Myself and the Louder team consume much of our TV, films and music through streaming services, but even though we may each have our individual favourites, I'll only be bringing you the Black Friday streaming deals I think offer real value for money and worth your time.

I'm constantly monitoring all the streaming services to see what content is added, the quality of TV & film streams, and if music streams really deliver on their audio output.

Why you can trust us

This will be my seventh year covering Black Friday full-time and I enjoy bringing music fans top deals I think you'll love. Over the past 11 years working across the site, I've written more than 11,500 articles covering everything from the latest rock and metal news, to writing features, interviewing artists and reviewing speakers, headphones and more. I also look after all Louder's dozens of buyers guides which cover turntables, earplugs, CD players, cassettes, Lego kits and more.

I have subscriptions to a variety of TV, film and music streaming services and have jumped between many of them too, so I know exactly what you're getting for your money and can put forward recommendations from personal experience.

Myself and the team are also avid TV and film watchers and keep up to date with what's hot on streaming services such as Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Apple TV and more. We're just as happy downloading series for watching while away from home as we are kicking back on the sofa on a Friday night with a binge-worthy box set.

This means I can give you all the information you need before you hand over your cash on one of the Black Friday streaming deals.
