As a Verizon customer, you may be surprised to learn there are a handful of free and discounted streaming deals included with your home internet and mobile subscription. I was certainly surprised. I am a subscriber to Verizon’s 5G home internet service, and I was happy to learn of these perks that slash prices on streaming memberships, giving price-conscious consumers a little peace of mind when it comes to saving dollars.
The number of TV shows and movies available on streaming services can be quite overwhelming. That is especially true if you have subscriptions to multiple streaming accounts. Services like Netflix, Disney Plus and some streaming bundles already deliver content at a good price. These Verizon deals make the savings even better.
Note that the bargains listed below are available to those with eligible mobile phone and home internet plans, unless otherwise specified. Scroll on for a list of the best free and discounted streaming perks for you.

Get Affordable Internet Access With New $25 Verizon Plan
Netflix and HBO Max bundle
Whether you are a Verizon myPlan mobile customer or a myHome internet subscriber, you can choose this streaming service perk. If you have Fios Home Internet, 5G Home Internet or an eligible mobile plan, sign up for Netflix and HBO Max (basic with ads), bundled together at $10 per month for a total monthly savings of $9. (Netflix with ads is $8 per month, and ad-based HBO Max costs $11 per month).
If you tack on this bundle, you may also opt to upgrade to one of the ad-free HBO Max plans and still get a Verizon discount. Pay an additional $7.50 per month for the Standard ad-free plan (saving you $3.50 total), or get HBO Max Premium (which comes with 4K and 100 downloads) for an extra $12 per month. These savings have automatically been applied for existing Verizon customers.
Disney Plus Premium
If you subscribe to a mobile plan with Verizon and want to stream all the Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars content your little heart desires, you will be able to access Disney Plus Premium — ad-free tier — free for six months.
Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN
Verizon has expanded its Disney Plus perk to include three bundle options, which are available for myPlan and myHome customers. Get Disney Plus and Hulu without ads packaged with ESPN Select for $20 per month (typically $30 per month). ESPN Unlimited is available in two different bundles: Disney Plus and Hulu (with ads) with ESPN Unlimited is $26 per month ($10 discount). Pay a bit more at $35 per month to get ad-free Disney Plus and Hulu along with ESPN Unlimited ($10 discount).
YouTube Premium
You can subscribe to YouTube Premium for $10 per month ($4 discount) if you have a Verizon Unlimited Ultimate, Ultimate Plus or Ultimate phone plan. Internet customers are eligible with 5G Home, LTE Home, Verizon Home Internet Lite and select Fios Home Internet plans.
YouTube TV
If you subscribe to any of the Verizon home internet plans, you qualify to get YouTube TV for $63 per month, after a $20 discount per month. To get this deal, you must enroll for a YouTube TV subscription from the MyVerizon Account View, download the app to your device and link your account to the streamer. You can create up to six user accounts. You must be a new YouTube TV subscriber to take advantage of the deal.
FOX One
You can get the new FOX One app for $15 per month with an eligible mobile or home internet plan. The FOX One app offers live and on-demand access to networks like FOX News, FOX Business and FOX Weather, along with sports programming from FS1, FS2 and the Big Ten Network. This is a $5 monthly discount from the regular $20 monthly cost. To take advantage of the perk, you must enroll through Verizon in an Unlimited Ultimate, Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Welcome phone plan or one of six internet plans, including 5G Home, 5G Home Ultimate, LTE Home or Home Internet Lite.
ESPN Unlimited
If you need your NFL fix and missed out on the Sunday Ticket on Us promo, Verizon now has a new way to watch the sports content you love. Subscribe to a Verizon Fios TV package that includes the ESPN Network, and you will be eligible to access ESPN Unlimited at no additional cost.
Apple One
With an eligible Verizon mobile phone or home internet plan, you can take advantage of this Apple One perk.
