Which streaming services offer free trials in 2026?
I think I speak for everyone when I say that streaming prices are getting out of hand. Every year, the monthly fees go up, as does the number of services you need to watch the shows and movies you love.
Fortunately, a good chunk of these streamers will let you test the water before diving in and paying full price for their service. These trials give you the opportunity to sample the streaming library to decide whether it's right for you — or even binge-watch a whole season of a show for free. And watching something for free is a special type of dopamine hit.
SEE ALSO: The best TV shows of 2026 (so far), and where to stream themMost of the big dogs in the streaming world — Disney+, Peacock, Paramount+, and most recently, Hulu (RIP 30-day trial) — no longer offer free trials, following in the footsteps of Netflix and HBO Max. But plenty of other smaller, lesser-known services let you try before you buy. Plus, Prime Video's add-on subscriptions generally come with free trials. Here's a list of all of the streaming services that offer free trials in 2026, updated with the latest pricing and trial length details.
Best free trial: Prime Video Opens in a new window Credit: Prime Video Prime Video (30-Day Trial) Get Deal Why we like itPrime Video can sometimes be an afterthought, as it's just one perk of an Amazon Prime membership. However, the streaming service is actually home to plenty of excellent shows — like one of our favorite shows of 2026, Bait, as well as some of our favorites from the last few years, like Overcompensating, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Fallout. Plus, you can't forget the library of hit movies, like Hedda, Sinners, Challengers, Wicked, Conclave, and Blink Twice.
It's $14.99 per month if you choose to subscribe to Prime or just $8.99 per month for Prime Video on its own. Either way, you'll get a free 30-day trial to kick things off. And the best part is that it's not just for newbies; returning Prime members are eligible for free trials as well. So if you cancel every so often, you'll be eligible for another trial period.

How to watch Norway vs. Senegal online for free
TL;DR: Live stream Norway vs. Senegal in the 2026 FIFA World Cup for free on ITVX. Access this free streaming platform from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN, an Official Supporter of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup has seen some big performances from big players in the group stage. And they don't come much bigger than Erling Haaland, the Norweigan striker who netted two goals in Norway's opening game against Iraq.
With the second round of group games well underway, Norway now face tougher opposition in Senegal, a team looking to bounce back from a loss to France. Manchester City's Haaland is a goal-scoring machine but Senegal are a strong team, reaching the final of the African Cup of Nations earlier this year. A win for Norway would see them reach the knockout stage. A win for Senegal would keep the West African nation in the running to advance.

Messi makes World Cup history — the internet reacts
Days before his 39th birthday, legendary striker Lionel Messi gave Argentina fans an unbeatable gift — by becoming the top goalscorer in World Cup history.
Just one goal in Argentina's game against Austria would have put Messi on top of the all-time goalscorer list, at 17 goals. Messi managed two, scoring his second in the last minute of added-on stoppage time.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Google was ready for the historic moment. Fans noted that searches for "Messi" produced a shower of virtual confetti from the search giant.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Messi's 18th World Cup goal puts him two ahead of Miroslav Klose, a German player whose last World Cup was in 2014. That's how long we've been waiting for a new goal record.
One fan in the stadium, however, seems to have been preparing for this moment since 1926.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.During the game, Messi also missed a penalty kick — and it wasn't his first time. The Argentine striker hit another record when he became the first player to miss a penalty in three separate World Cups. But some fans argued Messi didn't want to claim the record via a penalty — and if anything, the miss made him more of a social media legend ...
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.As did his height. (Messi is 5 ft. 7 in. tall).
Messi is the best short person of all time
— JP Acosta (@acosta32jp.bsky.social) June 22, 2026 at 12:02 PMSome fans wryly noted Messi has scored almost exactly the same goal multiple times in his club career.
Meanwhile, at least one Austrian was downhearted about his sartorial choices.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Still, whether or not he is the GOAT, Messi needs to watch his back. Kylian Mbappe, France's top goalscorer, is sitting pretty on an all-time World Cup count of 14 goals — and has plenty of games left to go. As fans are quick to point out, Mbappe has nothing but praise and humility for his rival, recently declaring Messi a better player.
Mbappe vs. Messi World Cup final, anyone?
The 11 best gaming deals Id buy before Prime Day — Switch 2 bundles and Asus gaming laptops on sale
We're just a few hours away from one of the biggest shopping events of the year.
This year, Amazon decided to launch into Prime Day a bit early, and we're in for big savings between June 23 and 26. But I've been covering Prime Day deals for nearly five years now, and I can tell you with certainty that those dates are merely suggestions. You can find plenty of great deals before the sale starts, and others that linger on into the days after the sale.
SEE ALSO: Shop the best Nintendo Switch deals ahead of Prime Day 2026Anyone who's looking for gaming upgrades is likely in for some treats from Amazon. Before the sale starts, I've spotted some excellent gaming deals that are already live. Since I'm not one to enjoy strong mid-day summer sun, you can find me inside gaming until it's time for dinner in the backyard.
If you're shopping ahead of the sale, these are the top gaming deals to grab before Prime Day hits.
Best gaming monitor deal Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung 32-inch Samsung Odyssey G5 $189.99 at Amazon$329.99 Save $140 Get Deal Why we like it
A gaming monitor has the power to change the whole gaming experience. Go curved, and you'll never go back to a dull, flat screen. Lucky for us, the 32-inch Samsung Odyssey G5 has a 1000R curve, and it's on sale for a massive 42% off ahead of Prime Day, coming in at just under $190 instead of the list price of $329.99. It's also worth noting the 27-inch model is on sale for about $200, which makes the cheaper price on the 32-inch model a fantastic snag.
The Samsung Odyssey G5 comes with game-worthy specs like a 165Hz refresh rate, AMD Radeon FreeSync, and a glare-free display.
Best gaming-worthy TV deal Opens in a new window Credit: TCL TCL 65-inch ClassQM6K QLED TV $527.99 at Amazon$799.99 Save $272 Get Deal Why we like it
We often think of gaming as an expensive hobby, but it doesn't have to be if gaming items are multi-functional. For example, the 65-inch TCL ClassQM6K QLED TV can serve as your gaming display as well as your TV. Pair this with the sale price of $527.99, and things are looking a lot more realistic, price-wise.
The TCL has a native refresh rate of up to 144Hz for crisp and quick gaming. The refresh rate is also excellent if you're sitting down to enjoy watching World Cup games this summer. TCL has the list price for the 65-inch ClassQM6K QLED TV set at $799.99, but Amazon's early Prime Day sale takes 33% off.
Best Nintendo Switch deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle $499 at AmazonGet Deal Why we like it
This Nintendo Switch 2 bundle may not technically be an actual Prime Day deal, but it's still worth picking up if you're looking to buy the console. Not only do you get the Switch 2 itself as well as a pair of included Joy-Con controllers, but you also get a game of your choice. You can select from titles like Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World, and Pokémon Pokopia, which can save you some additional cash. It's cheaper to buy this bundle than the Switch 2 base console and a game, and we can vouch for all three titles as excellent starter games. And if you're going to buy a Switch 2, now's the time to do so: it's raising in price from $449.99 to $499.99 on September 1.

3 excellent Netflix movies to get you through the week (June 22-28)
My wife and I have been binging our way through the great new Netflix series I Will Find You that everyone's been talking about, but like with any intense binge, sometimes you need to take a break and watch something different. We like to do that by throwing on a movie to change things up—they're one-and-done, and nicely wrapped up (usually).
The Mazda hybrid that runs on RAV4 tech without the markup
The 2026 Toyota RAV4 is one of those SUVs dealers don’t need to try very hard to sell, which usually means one thing: markups. It’s become a familiar story in the hybrid space, especially for high-demand models where supply just can’t keep up.
Amazon hides its best Prime Day sex toy deals, so I found the most exciting discounts from across the web
Prime Day starts June 23 (yes, Amazon bumped the official sale up to June this year), and it's my pleasure, and journalistic duty, to give you the deets on where to find the best sex toy deals.
As I've noted in years past, buying sex toys on Amazon is a gamble. If you don't know what to look for, you could end up with something that does more harm than good (think porous jelly materials or chemical-laden vibrators). On top of that, Amazon isn't allowed to promote sex toys on Prime Day the way it does for TVs and air fryers, which means you have to dig to find the discounts.
SEE ALSO: I've tested 100+ sex toys. Here are the 15 most mind-blowing toys I've ever owned.Luckily, you have me to do the research for you. To be transparent, there aren't a ton of amazing sex toy deals live on Amazon yet, but I expect a lot more to drop once the official sale heats up. If you just can't wait, I've rounded up the best early discounts and my favorite sex toys from competing sales at retailers and brands like Lovehoney, Lelo, belessa, and Hello Nancy.
Happy shopping!
Best Amazon Prime Day sex toy deal so far Tracy's Dog OG Lick $29.99 at Amazon$39.99 Save $10.00 Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it
A lot of the toys I usually hype up on Prime Day aren't on sale yet (I've listed those below), but Tracy's Dog is almost always marked down. It is one of my favorite sex toy brands for people who crave intense clitoral stimulation but aren't willing to pay more than $50. This is one of the only times I feel confident saying you'll get more bang for your buck.
Right now, you can get Tracy's Dog OG Lick for $29.99 at Amazon (it's basically just a newer version of the OG Sucking Vibrator, which I have and love). It's only 13% off on the Tracy's Dog website, so this is a good deal.
The OG Lick includes a remote and has seven licking modes and 10 vibration patterns. It's also waterproof and super easy to use hands-free (I actually love using mine while I'm giving my partner head; it's fun for everyone involved). Note: This is a "licking" vibrator; if you want suction, I recommend buying the OG Sucking Vibrator (which isn't available on Amazon for some reason).

The family hybrid SUV more buyers should be paying attention to
Hybrid SUVs have never been more popular. With fuel prices staying unpredictable and EVs becoming harder to justify for many buyers, more Americans are looking for something that delivers better efficiency without changing the way they drive.
Valve's Steam Machine is available now—but you won't like the price
Several months after its November 2025 introduction, you can finally order Valve's Steam Machine. However, you'll have to brace yourself for the high price — while expected, it's not the bargain living room PC some were hoping for.
This 472-horsepower American sports sedan makes BMW M3 owners regret their choices
Performance sedans have never been quicker, more capable, or more technologically advanced. The problem is that many of them have become so focused on lap times and acceleration figures that they've lost some of the personality that once made them special. In the pursuit of outright speed, driving involvement has often taken a back seat.
The internet keeps telling you to 3D print these—don’t

3 exciting Netflix thrillers to watch this week (June 22-28)
What's new on Netflix? Last weekend, Voicemails for Isabelle, a new rom-com with Zoey Deutch and Nick Robinson, went to No. 1. The same might happen this upcoming weekend with Little Brother, a buddy comedy starring John Cena and Eric André.
Valves Steam Machine officially has a price, and its a doozy
Oof. Ouch. Yikes. We now have an official price for the Valve Steam Machine, a pre-built console-esque gaming PC that's meant to live in your living room instead of under your desk — and it will cost you more than twice the price of a gaming console.
Here are the eye-popping numbers:
Steam Machine 512GB: $1,049
Steam Machine 512GB with controller: $1,128
Steam Machine 2TB: $1,349
Steam Machine 2TB with controller: $1,428
The device will go on sale starting June 29, and you can register for one now on Valve's store page.
Valve's price reveal coincided with several outlets sharing their reviews and impressions of the device based on pre-launch testing. The Verge, for one, found it to be a quality device, but with performance that roughly matches that of a PS5.
That's not the worst review in the world, though it needs to be emphasized that the PS5 is currently $599 and launched six years ago. On the other hand, the Steam Machine can play a wider variety of games (and do other PC-centric things, so long as you're tech-savvy enough).
Valve would not sell this device for more than $1,000 if it had any choice in the matter. PC hardware components have become exorbitantly expensive thanks to the push for AI data center reconstruction, a phenomenon we've come to refer to as RAMageddon.
A memory chip shortage is affecting everything in tech right now, and Tim Cook has admitted it will raise the price of Apple products. Even the aforementioned PS5 costs $100 more than it did at launch.
In short, Valve launched what seems to be a very good device ... at the worst possible time.
Stop using external hard drives for your home server
External HDDs are perhaps the easiest way to add storage to a home server. Plug one in, point a share at it, and suddenly your server has a whole lot more room for media, backups, or whatever else it is that you feel like hoarding at the time.
SpaceX stock price: Where it stands, what you need to know
After a hot start with its IPO two weeks ago, SpaceX stock has seen almost all of its gains erased.
SpaceX stock has fallen for three consecutive trading days as of Monday, dropping 8 percent in one day alone. It is now trading at under $170 a share — roughly where it was on the day SpaceX went public.
Elon Musk's space exploration and AI company went public on June 12 with the biggest IPO in history, one which made Musk a trillionaire. On June 16, SpaceX stock hit a high of more than $225. Days later, SpaceX announced that the company had acquired AI coding agent Cursor. Shortly after the $60 billion acquisition announcement, SpaceX stock fell and has been tumbling ever since.
What's the problem with SpaceX stock?There are an increasing number of red flags on SpaceX stock that seem to be sending some investors running the other way — not to mention orange ones.
MSCI, the finance company and index provider, has slapped SpaceX with a score of one out of 10 in its “controversies” category. SpaceX has received an “orange flag” due to this score, which notes if a company is involved in one or more severe controversies.
SEE ALSO: Elon Musk seemingly found the cheat code for capitalism. The SpaceX IPO proves it.A score of zero out of 10 and a "red flag" would have been awarded if SpaceX was found to be “directly involved in one or more very severe ongoing controversy cases,” according to the Financial Times. For example, Volkswagen received a MSCI red flag in 2022 after allegations of forced labor at an assembly plant in China.
Worse for SpaceX was MSCI awarding the company with the lowest possible environmental, social and governance (ESG) rating, a Triple-C ESG rating. ESG is often used by investors and funds looking for the most ethical, least problematic stocks — helping them avoid tobacco companies and firearm manufacturers, for example.
Musk's company is "lagging its industry based on its high exposure and failure to manage significant ESG risks," MSCI notes. For example, SpaceX's IPO revealed $3 billion in new gas turbines for an AI data center project in Mississippi — where the company is already being sued for running gas turbines without an air permit.
SpaceX's Triple-C grade is the same one given to Russia, on MSCI's international government version of the scale, after the invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Other MSCI concerns include SpaceX's limiting of shareholder rights, its concentration of control (Musk has 40% of shares but 80% of voting rights), conflicts of interest with his other companies, and a lack of independent board members.
MSCI's ESG rating for SpaceX is likely to catch Musk's attention. Musk has previously lashed out when Tesla was removed from the S&P 500 ESG Index in 2022 due to claims of racial discrimination at the electric vehicle company, as well as scant details on Tesla's low-carbon strategy.
Back then, Musk called the whole ESG concept a "scam" that was "weaponized by phony social justice warriors" — so if history is any guide, expect a torrent of rage tweets direct at MSCI.
From Ghostbusters to Spider-Man: 3 iconic movies filmed in New York City
What is the formula for the ideal New York City movie? For starters, the movie should be filmed in New York City. That sounds obvious, but you would be surprised to learn how many movies use other cities as a stand-in for NYC. Not every scene has to be filmed in New York City, considering many interior scenes are shot on a sound stage. At the very least, there should be some action captured in the busy streets of the Big Apple.
Google isn’t the best search engine anymore
If you’ve been feeling like Google Search is no longer a reliable place to find useful information, you’re not alone. A lot of people feel the same way, but many are still holding on out of habit, inertia, or simply because they don’t know what else to use. Here’s a comprehensive look at how Google lost its edge, why it happened, when it started, and where you should go instead for better, more relevant information.

Dyson feels like one of those brands that'd be everywhere you look during an event like Prime Day. Amazon is a decent spot to find deals on the Dyson Supersonic or Airwrap, but historically, Amazon isn't known for its amazing deals on Dyson vacuums.
Instead, Dyson's website often takes Amazon's sale events as a sign to hold a big sale of its own. Sure enough, a big Dyson sale event with exclusive savings is live from June 21 to 27 this year — the same week as Prime Day, running June 23 to 26.

For example, the Dyson V8 Absolute's $349.99 sale price looks amazing, right? How can you pass up a $240 discount on a Dyson vacuum?
You may or may not have heard that Dyson just released three new stick vacuums at the beginning of June. One of them is a revamped version of the Dyson V8, offering 30 percent more suction power and nearly double the battery life of older V8 models. The new Dyson V8 Cyclone only costs $399.99 — just $50 more than the weaker V8 Absolute model that's on sale. Plus, a self-emptying docking station for the V8 Cyclone is coming in August.
So far, here are the best early Prime Day deals on Dyson vacuums, hair tools, and fans:
Best Dyson vacuum deal Opens in a new window Credit: Dyson Dyson V12 Detect Slim $479.99 at Dyson$729.99 Save $250 Get Deal Why we like it
Any time my favorite vacuum ever gets several hundred dollars cheaper, it's going to be the first deal I recommend. The Dyson V12 Detect Slim on sale for $479.99 makes it $20 cheaper than the Dyson V10 Konical that just came out (at full price, it's the new cheapest Dyson with a laser). The V12 Detect Slim has 150 AW (air watts) of suction power and 60 minutes of run time.
The laser, which illuminates tiny specks and hair that aren't super visible to the naked eye, should be an immediate selling point for any household with pets and a lot of hard floors. You have no idea how dusty your floors get within even 24 hours.
When I'm not using it on the floor in those daily sessions, I'm switching it to handheld mode to clean fur off the couch with the mini motorized attachment or clean out my car with the crevice attachment. It's compact and lightweight enough to comfortably hold with one hand (I can't say the same about the massive Gen5 Dysons or Dyson V16 Piston Animal).

Another pro tip: I wouldn't recommend the Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai even if you see it on sale — there are more reliable robot vacuums on sale at Amazon that offer a much better bang for your buck.
