Amazon's October Prime Big Deal Days sale has some great streaming deals, including free trials and bundles you won't find elsewhere

Amazon’s annual Prime Big Deal Days sale (better known as October Prime Day) is best known for tech, home goods, clothing, and essentials, but there’s one category that’s often overlooked: streaming.

Just like Prime Day, the October Big Deal Days sale event delivers some serious savings and promotions on popular streaming services. Unlike most streaming services, Prime Video allows its subscribers to add other streaming services to their account as “channels.” It’s a great way to get all of your streaming services in one place — in the Prime Video app — and keep track of subscriptions under one login and bill. Every year for Prime Day, Amazon slashes prices on these streaming channel add-ons. That means you can add new streaming services to your Prime Video account for much less than usual.

At a Glance: October Prime Day Streaming Deals

Right now, Amazon is offering some great streaming deals for October Prime Day, which is happening now through midnight PT on Wednesday, Oct. 7. Amazon’s streaming deals include free trials to services that don’t offer them directly, discounts on your first year, or bundle deals. In other words, these Prime Day streaming deals are a great opportunity to save on something you’d likely be paying full price for otherwise.

To take advantage of the Prime Big Deal Days 2026 streaming discounts, you’ll need a subscription to Amazon Prime or Prime Video. The larger Amazon Prime subscription includes Prime Video access and will unlock a host of other perks like fast shipping and access to all the other deals during Prime Day. The overall Prime subscription starts with a 30-day free trial and costs $139 per year or $14.99 per month after the trial. The standalone Prime Video subscription costs $8.99 per month.
