Black Friday has become the biggest day in UK streaming deals. Netflix, Disney+, Max and Paramount+ typically offer discounted trial periods, reduced monthly rates, or bundled offers — and if you time it right, you can lock in significant savings. But the most important question isn't "which deal is best on Black Friday?" — it's "am I actually getting value for money all year round?"
Typical Black Friday Streaming Deals in the UK
Here is what UK streaming services have historically offered during Black Friday periods:
- Netflix: Rarely discounts directly — but occasionally offers CA$3.49/month introductory rates for new subscribers via third-party bundles
- Disney+: Has offered 50–70% discounts on annual plans — bringing the cost to around CA$85/year
- Apple TV+: Occasionally runs extended free trial offers (7 days standard, extended to 3 months)
- Now TV: Significant discounts on entertainment passes — sometimes as low as CA$3.49 for 2 months
The Problem with Black Friday Streaming Deals
Most Black Friday streaming deals are introductory offers that revert to full price after 2–3 months. If you forget to cancel, you end up paying full price indefinitely. The short-term saving masks the long-term commitment.
More importantly, individual platform deals don't solve the fragmentation problem. Even with a 50% discount, subscribing to five separate streaming platforms still costs CA$100–CA$136/month at standard rates — and no deal changes the fact that your favorite show might be on the platform you're not subscribed to.
Why Apollo Group TV Beats Every Black Friday Deal
Apollo Group TV doesn't need a Black Friday deal because its everyday pricing is already lower than any temporary offer. Here's the comparison:
| Service | Black Friday Deal | Standard Price | What You Get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Netflix Standard | CA$3.49/mo (intro) | CA$26.99/mo | Streaming library only |
| Disney+ | ~CA$85/year | CA$8.49/mo | Disney/Marvel/Star Wars |
| ESPN | ~CA$76/mo bundle | CA$97+/mo | ESPN only |
| TNT Sports | ~CA$40/mo intro | CA$52/mo | Champions League + BT |
| Apollo Group TV | Always $19.99/mo | $19.99/mo | All of the above + 55,000 channels |
Apollo Group TV's 12-month + 2 months free plan brings the monthly cost to under $5.00/month — cheaper than almost any streaming service individually, let alone all of them combined.
How to Make the Most of Black Friday for Streaming
- Cancel streaming services you use less than twice a week before Black Friday
- Only take deals on services with content you genuinely watch regularly
- Look for annual plan discounts rather than monthly introductory offers
- Consider switching to Apollo Group TV as your primary subscription to cover all major channels and VOD in one place
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Apollo Group TV have a Black Friday deal?
Apollo Group TV's pricing is already the best value in UK IPTV year-round. The 12-month plan (with 2 months free) brings the cost to under $5.00/month — significantly lower than any Black Friday streaming offer from individual platforms.
Is it worth subscribing to multiple streaming services?
For most UK viewers, subscribing to four or more individual streaming platforms is significantly more expensive than a single Apollo Group TV subscription that covers equivalent or greater content. We recommend reviewing your subscriptions and consolidating where possible.
