Discovery has finally taken the wraps off its direct-to-consumer streaming service, Discovery+, which launches in the U.S. on Jan. 4, 2021 priced at $4.99 per month.
The service will also have an ad-free version available for $6.99 per month. Each account will include up to five user profiles and four concurrent streams. Discovery said the service will be available across major platforms including connected TVs, web, mobile and tablets.
Discovery+ is launching in partnership with Verizon, which will give many of its subscribers a free year of the service. At launch, new and existing wireless customers with a Play More or Get More Unlimited plan will get 12 months of Discovery+ on Verizon; customers with Start or Do More Unlimited plans will receive six months of streaming on Verizon. New customers who sign up for Verizon 5G Home Internet or Fios Gigabit Connection can receive 12 months of Discovery+ on Verizon; new Fios customers may also be eligible for three to six months depending on their plan
