Our take

Here's the honest answer: Netflix hasn't offered a free trial in the US since 2020, and the March 2026 price bump put Standard (ad-free) at $19.99/mo. If you want to watch without paying full freight, the move is a bundle you might already have - T-Mobile's "Netflix on Us," or select Xfinity and ISP plans fold it in. And if it was the free month you were after, that's not gone from the world - plenty of streamers in our catalog still run real trials.

Fubo is the live-TV streamer built for sports first: a big channel lineup, up to around 40 regional sports networks, unlimited DVR, and enough simultaneous streams for a whole household. After the Disney deal closed in 2025 it merged with Hulu + Live TV and is now one of the two largest live-TV streamers in the country, and the 2026 NBCUniversal blackout that dinged its reviews resolved on June 10, so Telemundo and the NBC networks are flowing back. Two things to size up before you start. First, this is priced like cable: plans run from $19.99 for Latino up to about $104 for Deluxe, and Pro and Elite carry regional sports fees plus tax that push most bills toward $90 to $110, which is why a forgotten Fubo trial is one of the more expensive surprises in streaming and the single most common theme in its billing reviews. Second, cancel is self-serve on the web but routes through a retention screen, and it varies by where you signed up. None of that is a reason to skip a genuinely strong sports service. Start the trial, and track it here so we send a reminder before it ends, so nothing surprises you.

Straight answer: Disney+ dropped its free trial back in 2020 and never brought it back, and Premium (ad-free) is now $18.99/mo. The cheapest legitimate way in is the Disney Bundle Duo Basic - Disney+ and Hulu, both with ads - at around $4.99/mo if you can verify as a student through UNiDAYS, and a few carriers (Verizon, Spectrum, Kroger Boost) include it outright. Looking for a trial specifically? Several streamers in our catalog still offer real ones.

Here's the honest answer: Hulu ended its free trial on June 15, 2026, after sixteen years, so new sign-ups are billed on day one. If price is the concern, the $1.99/mo student plan and Hulu's Black Friday annual deal (often under $2/mo) are the real bargains. And if you specifically wanted a trial run, plenty of streamers in our catalog still offer one.
