Enjoy Apple TV+ for free the first weekend of 2025
Apple TV+ is ringing in the New Year by offering an all-access pass to customers all around the world.
www.apple.comHere’s the latest on Apple TV free trials, based on recent coverage.
-
Apple TV+ still typically offers a 7-day free trial for new subscribers in many regions. After the trial ends, the service automatically converts to a paid subscription unless you cancel before the trial ends. This is the standard approach Apple has used in recent years.

There are occasional long-term free offers tied to device purchases or carrier bundles. For example, new Apple hardware purchases (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Mac) have historically included longer free-trial windows (often multiple months) that must be activated within a specified window. Carrier or retailer promotions (such as bundles with EE TV in some markets) have also included extended free access to Apple TV+. Availability and terms vary by region and partner.

Apple has occasionally run special weekend or seasonal promos giving access to Apple TV+ for a limited period, but these are not permanent fixtures and reoccurrence varies by year and region. If you’re eyeing a sale or event weekend, you’ll typically see announcements from Apple or major tech news outlets outlining the exact dates and eligibility.

If you’re trying to evaluate value, compare: 7-day trial (free), 3-month or 6-month promos tied to devices or carriers (free for a set period), and occasional short-term free weekends. After any free period, the regular monthly price applies unless you cancel beforehand. [source coverage: multiple outlets detailing trial lengths and transitions to paid plans]
Practical tips
- Check eligibility before subscribing: sign in with your Apple ID and start the Apple TV app to see if the “Enjoy 7 days free” or any longer offer appears. [source coverage: general trial setup guidance]
- If you recently bought a new Apple device, look for a notification or prompt in the Apple TV app about the extended free period and start it within the qualifying window. [source coverage: device-purchase promo guidance]
- If you want to avoid charges, set a calendar reminder to cancel before the trial ends. Some regions auto-charge after the free period, so timely cancellation is important. [source coverage: standard trial terms and cancellation advice]
