If you’re looking to save on the cost of streaming, YouTube is currently offering discounts on many popular streaming services, when subscribing through its Primetime Channels service.
Key Takeaways
- YouTube Primetime Channels is offering limited‑time discounts on many popular streaming services.
- The biggest deal we’ve found is a $4.50/mo discount on HBO Max’s ad‑free plan for three months.
- Other discounted services include AMC+, BET+, Crunchyroll, Paramount+, Shudder, Starz, Hallmark+, and more, with discounts of $6–$9 over three months available, depending on the service.
Primetime Channels on YouTube work similar to Premium Subscriptions on Roku and Prime Video Channels on Amazon.
Basically, you sign up to a streaming subscription directly through YouTube and you can then access content offered by that service through the YouTube app.
As YouTube takes care of management of the subscription, you pay YouTube directly each month. And one of the benefits of this approach is that you can sometimes save on services through YouTube Primetime Channels-specific deals.

Discounts For New Subscribers
As these discounts are only available to new subscribers, those already subscribed to any of these Primetime Channels won’t be able to take advantage of the current discounts.
Likewise, those that previously subscribed to any of these Primetime Channels, and have since cancelled their subscription, are likely to find they can’t sign back up again at the current deal prices.
Lastly, it is worth noting that YouTube typically offers a free trial when signing up to a Primetime Channel, so it is possible that new subscribers will find they can take advantage of a free trial and save on the monthly cost.
