If you’ve spent countless hours watching shows like Fixer Upper, Chopped and 90 Day Fiancé, you may want to know about any Discovery+ free trial offers and other deals to watch HGTV, Food Network and more for super cheap.
Discovery+, which launched in the United States in January 2021, is the exclusive streaming service for HGTV, Food Network, TLC, Investigation Discovery, Animal Planet, Travel Channel and Discovery channel, as well as A&E, Lifetime and History. Discovery+ is also the home of original shows such as First Time Fixer, Chopped Challenge and Christina on the Coast.
Compared to other streaming services like Netflix and Disney+, Discovery+’s main focus is on reality TV, cooking, home improvement, history, true crime and non-fiction shows. “It’s been a long journey,” Discovery CEO David Zaslav said at a press conference in December 2020. “We’ve been committed to this. It’s why for the last 5 to 6 years we have not been selling content to third parties.” He continued, “People like spending time with our characters and our brands. A lot of the other services you put on at 8 or 9 at night… We find people are putting us on while they are working or cooking or homeschooling their kids. We feel like scripted has had its moment and this is our time.”
Discovery+ is available in more than 200 countries and territories and in more than 50 languages. At the conference, the service’s executives said they expected “tens of millions” of subscribers, with 70 million in the United States and 400 million overseas. So, if you love home improvement, food and reality TV shows as much we do, you may want to know about Discovery+’s free trial and other deals. Read on ahead how to sign up for little to no cost.

Does Discovery+ have a free trial?
Discovery+ offers a seven-day free trial. Want a longer subscription? Well, Verizon Unlimited customers with at least one line on Play More or Get More Unlimited are eligible for 12 months of free Discovery+. Customers with Verizon Unlimited, Go Unlimited, Beyond Unlimited, Above Unlimited, Do More Unlimited and Start Unlimited are also eligible for six months of free Discovery+. Visit Verizon’s website for more information and find out how to sign up for a Discovery+ free trial here.
Amazon Prime Video also offers a free trial for Discovery+. To sign up for Amazon Prime Video’s Discovery+ free trial, users will need to be Amazon Prime members. The benefit of signing up through Amazon Prime Video is that the service offers a 30-day free trial that comes with the same benefits of Amazon Prime, such as free two-day shipping, Prime Music and more. If you’re a student, you may be eligible for an ever longer free trial offer. Compared to the regular 30-day Prime free trial, Student Prime‘s free trial is six months, which is five months more than the regular free trial. But perhaps the best part about Amazon Prime Video’s free trial is that customers can sign up for it multiple times. According to Amazon, users can sign up for Amazon Prime Video’s free trial over and over again as long as it isn’t within the same 12 months. This means that if you haven’t been an Amazon Prime member for more than 12 months, you’re eligible to receive another 30 days for free—and snag this Discovery+ offer in the process.
After the trial ends, customers can subscribe to Amazon Prime (which includes Amazon Prime Video) for $12.99 per month or $119 per year (which saves them around $36.) Those who just want an Amazon Prime Video subscription can also subscribe for $8.99 per month.
