What to watch on streaming: what's new today on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and more

According to Radio Times' latest streaming roundup, the late-August content refresh across Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and other major platforms arrives as viewers reassess subscription stacks heading into the fall television season. The catalog shifts land alongside fresh student pricing on a combined Disney+ and Hulu bundle, continued expansion of free, ad-supported alternatives, and the return of England's lower-division football — three distinct pressure points shaping how households allocate their monthly streaming budget this September.

The late-August catalog refresh

Radio Times' running "what's new today" guide captures the latest additions across the major platforms, with Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+ anchoring the week's most visible releases across originals, licensed catalog titles, and returning series. The roundup lands at a transitional moment in the calendar — between the close of summer originals and the start of the fall broadcast premieres — when the competitive focus across services shifts from subscriber acquisition to retention. For viewers managing multiple subscriptions, the practical move is to cross-reference the daily drop list against their current watchlist before any service is renewed for the next billing cycle, rather than letting auto-renew carry the decision forward.

Discounted bundles and the student segment

Streaming Better is tracking a limited Disney+ and Hulu bundle priced at $6.49 per month for verified students — a 50 percent reduction off the standard combined rate. Targeted student pricing has become a recurring structural feature of the bundle market, used to lock in younger demographics before they establish long-term viewing habits and to reduce churn in the segment most likely to drop paid services. Households with eligible students should expect standard identity verification at sign-up, and the discount does not appear to extend automatically to existing subscribers already paying the standard combined rate.

FAST channels and live sports rights

Money Talks News continues to catalogue a dozen free, ad-supported streaming applications that compete directly with paid tiers for casual viewing hours. The FAST model has matured into a structural alternative rather than a stopgap, particularly for households trimming paid subscriptions or experimenting before committing to a new service. On the live side, FourFourTwo's Matchday 3 viewing guide for the 2026/27 EFL Championship underscores how regional rights fragmentation still governs coverage of England's lower divisions — a reminder that live sports remain the most reliable anchor for both streaming bundles and traditional pay-TV packages, even as the rest of the catalog migrates toward on-demand consumption.
