We got some really convenient and cool new streaming bundles in 2025, including the Apple TV and Peacock combo, and new DIRECTV Genre Packs that include streaming services like Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max. Consolidation is the name of the game for streaming services in late 2025, and that trend will continue next year.

As things stand, Netflix is due to add all content from HBO Max in 2026, the result of winning an arduous auction process for Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming and studio assets. We also know that Hulu will be completely integrated into the Disney+ app next year, completing a years-long process.

We tried to predict a few different potential streaming bundles that could happen in 2025, and while several services on our list did end up bundling with others, we didn’t hit any of our calls exactly right. We’re trying again in 2026, when there are certain to be more bundles available outside of the options listed above.

Which streamers could bundle in 2026?

Paramount+ and Peacock

We predicted this would happen in 2025 during last year’s version of this exercise, and I think the odds have only increased after what has happened with Paramount this year. The company merged with Skydance Media over the summer, and https://thestreamable.com/paramount-skydance-ellison-bid-warner-bros-discovery immediately embarked on a pursuit of Warner Bros. Discovery. As of the time of this writing, that pursuit has all but collapsed, as WBD has agreed to the mega-deal with Netflix referenced above.

But Paramount’s new ownership team has already talked about the need to seek out streaming bundles, and its failure to acquire WBD will likely lead to a quick pivot to another pursuit. The opportunity to combine Paramount+ with Peacock in a soft bundle and deliver a huge amount of sports, movies, and TV seems so obvious that I’m surprised it hasn’t been announced yet, and I continue to think Paramount and Comcast will avail themselves of it in 2026.

Predicted price of a Paramount+ and Peacock bundle: $15 per month

Sling TV and Apple TV

With all the innovative products that Sling TV ($46 per month normally) has introduced, I’m surprised it hasn’t bundled with an on-demand streaming service yet. Paramount+ would be a strong contender here as well, since Sling TV doesn’t offer CBS in any markets around the United States currently. But with Apple TV ($13 per month) already making a bundle agreement in 2025, I can well imagine it being on the hunt for another.

Sling offers a great selection of high-value options for watching top cable channels, and I think its packages would complement the premium TV shows and movies of Apple TV well. That kind of prestige content isn’t as easily found in the channels Sling offers without purchasing an add-on, so the fit feels pretty natural.

Predicted price of a Sling TV and Apple TV bundle: $53 per month

AMC+ and STARZ

Both of these streaming services are trying to find a way forward in a future where traditional cable is crumbling, essentially everywhere you look. The AMC and Starz linear brands are shadows of their former selves, and STARZ is more primed for a merger than ever before, having officially split from Lionsgate to forge ahead alone in 2025.

There are still some intriguing franchises to be found on both STARZ and AMC+, and they would seem to be natural allies in a streaming pond where even big fish like HBO Max are getting swallowed up. In fact, the services are already available in a bundle exclusively available to Prrime Video customers. But in 2026, expanding the availability of this bundle to everyone would benefit both STARZ and AMC, and I think they’ll take that step at some point in the new year.

Predicted price of an AMC+ and STARZ bundle: $14 per month (same as Prime Video)
