Where to stream Macy's Day Parade with Black Friday deals on Peacock

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade airs live on NBC and streams on Peacock from 8.30 am ET/PT on November 27. But which Black Friday streaming deals let you watch the floats for free? Here's your options, from best to worst...

First up, you can get a whole year's Peacock Premium totally free when you sign up to Walmart Plus ($49.99 for the year). Walmart's answer to Amazon Prime could come in handy anyway, since members get early access to its Black Friday deals.

If you have no interest in Walmart's glee club, your best option is YouTube TV with a 5-day free trial and a $10 off your first 3 months. Bonus: ESPN and ABC are returning, while NFL Sunday ticket is down to $48. That's a killer Black Friday special.

DirecTV is another good way to catch Macy's Day Parade thanks to its 5-day free trial. As with YouTube TV, it's possible to watch the parade and cancel before the free trial ends.

Peacock Premium or Paramount+ Essential: free with Walmart+ Membership (now 50% off)
Ok, hear us out: Walmart is currently knocking its annual membership to $49, and with that, you can choose to get a year free of Peacock Premium or Paramount+ Essential, which is a savings of more than $50. Peacock Premium carries NBC, meaning you can watch Macy's Day Parade for free!

YouTube TV (5-month): was $82.99/month now $72.99/month @ YouTube
We rank YouTube TV as our best live TV streaming service for its clean interface and access to most channels you could want, including NBC for the Macy's Parade. It's currently discounted through December 31 for $72.99 a month. New users get a 5-day free trial.

As for Sling, the Sling Blue plan carries NBC but is pricey. The Black Friday deal is on the Sling Orange + Blue plan, which gets you 50% off your first month. It's one of our favorite streaming services, but if you're only looking for quick access to the 2025 Macy's Parade, we don't recommend it.

"What about Fubo?", you ask. Sadly, NBCUniversal has just pulled its channels from Fubo due to yet another contract spat. So it's not the place to find the Macy's Day Parade stream today.
