Which streaming services are most likely to bundle in 2025?
There are a ton of potential streaming bundle combos that make sense, and I’ll lay out which ones I think are most likely here.
With streaming prices seemingly rising without end, bundles can provide an affordable option for customers who want to stack their subscriptions but don’t think they can afford to. Combinations of streaming services can help viewers save 40% or more as compared to what they’d pay to get the individual services separately, and can also help create more loyal viewers, since to cancel one streamer in the bundle means losing access to all its other content as well.
There were two big-name bundles launched in 2024. One combines Disney+, Max, and Hulu starting at $17 per month, while the StreamSaver package — only available to Xfinity TV and internet customers — includes Apple TV+, Netflix, and Peacock. But which streamers do I think have the potential to combine in 2025? Find out below!
Which streaming bundles could become available in 2025?
Paramount+, Peacock, and Max
Executives from Paramount, Comcast, and Warner Bros. Discovery have all discussed a willingness, if not an eagerness to bundle their streamers together in the future. In fact, WBD and Comcast have backed up those words with deeds; Peacock is part of the StreamSaver bundle, and Max has joined in a combo with Disney+ and Hulu, as mentioned above.
Bringing these three streaming services together would create a powerful product, indeed. On the TV side, it would offer prestige TV shows from HBO, and a good mix of library titles from Paramount+ and Peacock. This bundle would also offer all the greatest hits from Taylor Sheridan, including “Yellowstone,” “Tulsa King,” and many more. It would also feature movies from three of the biggest studios in Hollywood: Paramount Pictures, Universal, and Warner Bros.
From a sports standpoint, this bundle would offer NFL football games from Paramount+ and Peacock, NBA contests from Peacock, NHL and MLB contests on Max, college football and basketball, and a lot more. It would be a compelling combination and a price point of $16 per month or so would likely attract a large swath of customers.
Current combined ad-supported price of Max, Paramount+, Peacock individually: $26 per month

HBO Max
HBO Max is a subscription video streaming service that gives access to the full HBO library and exclusive Max Originals. There are hubs for content from TLC, HGTV, Food Network, Discovery, TCM, Cartoon Network, Travel Channel, ID, and more. Watch hit series like “The Last of Us,” “House of the Dragon,” “Succession,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and more. Within HBO Max, B/R Sports allows users to watch live NBA, MLB, NHL, March Madness, and NASCAR events.

Paramount Plus
Paramount+ is a subscription video streaming service that includes on-demand access to 40,000+ TV show episodes from BET, CBS, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., and more. Get free access with a Walmart+ subscription.
Paramount+ includes “1883,” “Tulsa King,” “Star Trek: Discovery,” “SpongeBob SquarePants,” and “PAW Patrol.” Subscribers can watch the NFL, college football, The Masters, college basketball, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, Serie A, and NWSL. The service also offers the option to watch your live CBS affiliate. The upgraded ad-free package includes premium movies and shows from Showtime.

Peacock
Peacock is a subscription video streaming service from NBCUniversal that includes original shows, blockbuster movies, and classic television series. Peacock is home to “Yellowstone,” “The Office,” and original hits like “Poker Face” and “Bel-Air.” You can also watch live sports and NBC programming, including the NFL, MLB, WWE, the Olympics, the Premier League, NASCAR, the French Open, college football and basketball, and the PGA Tour. Premium Plus subscribers can stream their local NBC feed in all 210 markets.
ESPN Flagship and Prime Video
This one is undoubtedly for the sports fans out there. ESPN hasn’t even announced the price of its forthcoming ESPN streaming service, which is being developed under the name Flagship. Most analysts expect it to hit the market at around $25 to $30 per month, and it will feature every sporting event that you can watch on linear ESPN channels as well as streaming exclusives.
I think a bundle of Flagship and Prime Video makes a lot of sense. It would come with all the sports from ESPN, as well as “Thursday Night Football” and the NBA’s C package of regular season and playoff games from Prime Video starting in the 2025-26 season. That would unite two of the three NBA game bundles in one streaming combination, and would obviously include all of the TV shows and movies available on Prime Video as well.
Predicted ad-supported price of ESPN Flagship, Prime Video bundle: $28 per month

Prime Video
Prime Video is a subscription video streaming service that includes on-demand access to 10,000+ movies, TV shows, and Prime Originals like “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” “Jack Ryan,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “The Boys,” and more. Subscribers can also add third-party services like Max, Showtime, STARZ, and dozens more with Prime Video Channels. Prime Video also offers exclusive live access to NFL Thursday Night Football.

Apple TV+, AMC+, and Hulu
This last bundle is one of the most unique, and perhaps one of the most unlikely, since I’m not sure that Disney would bundle Hulu without Disney+. But if they did, Hulu would bring a huge selection of general entertainment to the equation.
Apple TV+ offers much more bespoke content, as the streamer is notorious for only carrying original shows and movies featuring A-list stars. That would introduce some incredible prestige TV into this bundle, balancing out the general entertainment and library shows from Hulu.
The inclusion of AMC+ would be a big boon to that streamer, which could use more viewership for shows like “Interview with the Vampire” and “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.” Making those shows available alongside “The Bear” and “Severance” would create an eclectic, but intriguing bundle packed with something for all TV lovers.
This streaming bundle would likely appeal to many cord-cutters who want the best of broadcast and prestige TV without having to pay for all of the expensive news and sports channels that drive up the costs of live TV streaming services. So I would imagine that a bundle like this would run about $17 per month with AMC+ and Hulu offering ad-supported access. Currently, Apple TV+ does not have an ad-free plan, which would likely keep the price a little higher.
Current combined ad-supported price of Apple TV+, AMC+, and Hulu individually: $25 per month

AMC+
AMC+ is a premium subscription streaming bundle owned by AMC Networks. It offers curated access to award-winning originals, indie films, and prestige television. Launched in June 2020, the service combines content from AMC with flagship brands such as BBC America, IFC, Sundance TV, Shudder, Sundance Now, and IFC Films Unlimited, delivering a rich library of exclusive programming and early episode access.

Apple TV
Apple TV (formerly known as Apple TV+) is a subscription video streaming service for $14.99 per month, offering a growing slate of original series, films, documentaries, and specials. Unlike other platforms that combine licensed titles with originals, Apple TV is built entirely around exclusive programming, making it the home of critically acclaimed hits such as “Ted Lasso,” “Severance,” “The Morning Show,” and “Silo.” Its lineup continues to expand with award-winning dramas, comedies, family-friendly shows, and blockbuster original films like “CODA,” which won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Hulu
Hulu is a video streaming service that gives access to thousands of full seasons of exclusive series, hit movies, kids shows, and Hulu Originals like “Only Murders in the Building,” and “The Handmaid's Tale.”
