With the streaming wars at a peak and it seeming like services are getting closer and closer to reinventing cable every day, it’s worth it to subscribe to new streaming services — especially the live TV ones — when you can save a few bucks doing it

Whether through limited-time promos, or savings when you subscribe annually versus paying month-to-month, there are always a handful of great deals available to save money on all that great content we love.

Some run indefinitely, while others are only available for a short time, so be sure to read the fine print when you’re subscribing. However, as of publishing, all of these deals are available to subscribe to now.

Below, we’ve rounded up seven of the best streaming deals to take advantage of, from Disney+ to Peacock.
