Hulu Promo Codes in September 2026

Yes, and it's the cheapest way to get Hulu. Verified college students pay just $1.99 a month for Hulu (With Ads) instead of the usual $11.99, which is 83% off. You keep that low rate for as long as your student status stays verified, so it's an ongoing deal, not a one-time teaser.

To claim it, confirm your enrollment through SheerID, Hulu's verification partner. Both new and current subscribers qualify, so there's no need to cancel an existing account to switch over. There's no free trial with this plan, but at $1.99 you're already paying less than most trials would lead to anyway.

If you are no longer eligible for the student price, take a look at Hulu's other plans or the Disney+ bundle to find your next best price.

Service members and veterans with The Exchange membership get 25% off Hulu (With Ads), which brings the price from $11.99 down to about $8.99 a month. To claim it, you need to log into your Exchange account, then choose "Authenticate Now" to verify your eligibility.

Here's the part that makes this deal worth it. The 25% off isn't a one-time thing. Your plan renews each month at 25% below the current retail price until you cancel, so you keep saving for as long as you stay subscribed.

Both new and current Hulu-billed subscribers qualify, as long as your Exchange membership is active. There's no free trial on this plan, but at $8.99 you're already paying well under retail from day one. Just don't switch to a different Hulu plan after signing up, since that cancels the discount.

Only one Hulu plan comes with a free trial. New and eligible returning subscribers can try Hulu + Live TV free for 3 days before paying. It's a good starting point if you want to see how the live channels and sports hold up before you spend anything.

Once the 3 days end, the trial turns into a paid plan at $89.99 a month, so set a reminder to cancel if it's not your thing. The on-demand plans skip the trial completely, which means you'd pay from day one with nothing to test first. If that's the plan you want, don't sweat the missing trial. Your better savings play is to wait for a sale.

Black Friday brings Hulu's lowest price of the year. In recent years the ad-supported plan has fallen to about $0.99 a month for a full 12 months, close to 90% off the usual rate. The sale typically runs from late November through Cyber Monday for new and returning subscribers.

Yes. Adding someone outside your home through the Extra Member add-on costs about $7 a month, which is less than what they'd pay for their own Hulu plan. Instead of two people each paying full price, you split one bill and just cover the small add-on fee.

It's the budget-friendly way to share with a partner, parent, or roommate who lives at a different address. A few rules apply before you set it up. You can add one Extra Member per account, live in the same country as you, and not already have (or have just canceled) their own Hulu, Disney+, or ESPN+ account.

Just know this only makes sense for people in separate homes. If everyone you share with lives under the same roof, skip the add-on completely. One Hulu account already lets you create up to seven separate profiles for free. So you and up to six others at home can each have your own space that tracks your viewing history and recommendations.

One last thing before you spend more. Standard Hulu and Hulu + Live TV plans let you stream on two screens at once, which is plenty for most households. There's an "Unlimited Screens" option for Hulu + Live TV if you need more, but don't pay for it unless you're actually running into that two-screen limit at home.
