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.

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.

Watch your US service from abroad with a VPN

It's really easy to use a VPN to stream Macy's Day Parade from abroad.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you want to watch Peacock, choose 'USA' from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Peacock, sign in, and stream the Macy's Day Parade.
