Bell on Monday announced the launch of Bell Streaming, initially offering trio bundles featuring Crave, Netflix and Disney+ as well as two-service bundles that bundle Crave with one of the other two streaming services.
Bell says its bundles deliver up to 25-per-cent savings compared to subscribing to the services individually. An ad-supported “Crave, Netflix, Disney+ – Basic” bundle is priced at $22 per month, while a “Crave, Netflix, Disney+ – Premium” bundle is $49 per month.
Ad-supported Crave-Netflix and Crave-Disney+ bundles are $16.75 and $15.75 per month, respectively. Premium Crave-Netflix and Crave-Disney+ bundles are $36 and $28.49 per month, respectively.
The Bell Streaming bundles are currently being offered in Ontario and Quebec to new and existing Bell Internet, TV or home phone customers, and will be offered to Bell Mobility customers this fall, according to a Bell press release. A graphic included with the press release indicated a Bell Fibe Internet subscription is required.
“With Bell Streaming, we’re offering something truly unique in the Canadian market — a bundled experience that brings together three of the most popular streaming services into a more simplified, affordable offer,” Blaik Kirby, Bell group president of consumer and small business, said in the company’s announcement. “This launch reflects Bell’s focus on delivering innovative services and unbeatable content experiences. Whether you’re into the latest blockbusters, original series or award-winning documentaries, Bell Streaming offers a smarter, easier way to watch — all backed by Bell’s award-winning Pure Fibre Internet and wireless networks.”
Bell announced in June it was planning to launch later this year a streaming bundle that would include Crave, TSN and Disney+. That announcement followed the January launch of its Crave-TSN ad-supported and ad-free streaming bundles.
Bell’s bigger move into the streaming bundle market comes after Telus recently launched its all-in-one entertainment bundles combining popular streaming services and live TV channels in Ontario and more regions of Quebec. Telus has also offered its Stream+ bundles since April 2022, including a package combining Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video that launched in January 2024.
