What You Get When You Bundle Hulu and Spotify

Spotify Premium subscribers can add Hulu to their account through Spotify's bundled plan, called Spotify Premium + Hulu. This bundle includes ad-free Spotify music streaming plus Hulu's ad-supported streaming plan — the version with commercials, not the ad-free tier. You pay one monthly price instead of two separate subscriptions.

The bundle does not include Hulu's live TV add-on or the ad-free Hulu plan. If you want to remove ads from Hulu, you would need to upgrade separately through Hulu itself, which costs extra on top of the bundle price.

This is different from Spotify's other bundle, Spotify Premium + Hulu + ESPN+, which adds Disney's sports streaming service to the same deal. Both bundles are available to new and existing Spotify Premium members.

Key Takeaways

  • The Spotify Premium + Hulu bundle combines ad-free Spotify with Hulu's ad-supported plan for one monthly payment.
  • You can add Hulu to an existing Spotify Premium account or start the bundle fresh if you are a new subscriber.
  • The bundle includes only Hulu with ads — upgrading to ad-free Hulu requires a separate payment to Hulu.
  • You manage both services through your Spotify account, though Hulu content plays through Hulu's app or website.

How to Add Hulu to Your Spotify Premium Account

If you already have Spotify Premium, you can add Hulu without starting over. Open Spotify on your phone, tablet, or computer and go to your account settings. Look for a section labeled "Offers" or "Add-ons" — the exact name varies by device and region. Select the option to add Hulu, and Spotify will show you the bundle price and what you are getting.

Confirm the change, and your next billing date will reflect the new bundled price. Spotify will send you a confirmation email with instructions for setting up or linking your Hulu account. If you do not already have a Hulu account, Spotify will create one for you automatically.

The process takes a few minutes. Your Spotify music access does not change — you keep your playlists, saved songs, and listening history. Hulu content becomes available in the Hulu app or at hulu.com once the bundle is active.

Starting the Bundle as a New Subscriber

If you do not yet have Spotify Premium, you can sign up for the bundle directly. Go to spotify.com and select the Premium + Hulu option during signup. You will create a Spotify account, provide payment information, and Spotify will set up your Hulu account at the same time.

New subscribers sometimes see promotional pricing for the first few months — the exact offer changes by region and time of year. After the promotional period ends, the price increases to the standard bundle rate. Spotify will notify you before the price change takes effect.

How to Watch Hulu Content

Once your bundle is active, you watch Hulu shows and movies through the Hulu app or website, not through Spotify. Download the Hulu app from the Apple App Store, Google Play, or your device's app store, then sign in with the email and password Spotify created for your Hulu account.

On a computer, go to hulu.com, click "Log In," and use the same credentials. Your Hulu account is linked to your Spotify bundle, so you do not need a separate Hulu password or payment method. Hulu will display ads during shows and movies because the bundle includes the ad-supported plan.

You can stream on multiple devices at the same time, depending on your Hulu plan. The standard ad-supported plan allows simultaneous streaming on two devices. If you need more, you would upgrade to Hulu's ad-free plan or the higher-tier plan through Hulu directly.

Removing Ads From Hulu

The Spotify Premium + Hulu bundle includes only Hulu's ad-supported plan. To remove ads, you must upgrade through Hulu itself. Open the Hulu app or website, go to your account settings, find the plan section, and select the option to upgrade to ad-free.

Hulu will charge you an additional monthly fee on top of your Spotify bundle price. The exact cost depends on your region and current pricing. This upgrade applies only to Hulu — it does not change your Spotify experience or cost.

Alternatively, you can cancel the bundle and subscribe to Hulu and Spotify separately, which may cost more or less depending on current pricing and promotions. Compare the total cost before deciding.

Switching to the Triple Bundle With ESPN+

Spotify also offers Spotify Premium + Hulu + ESPN+, which adds Disney's sports streaming service to the bundle. This plan costs more than the two-service bundle but less than paying for all three separately. You manage the upgrade the same way — through your Spotify account settings.

ESPN+ includes live sports, original shows, and on-demand content from ESPN, the UFC, and other sports properties. It does not include cable TV access or ESPN's main channel. If you are interested in sports streaming, compare what ESPN+ offers against what you actually watch before upgrading.

Canceling the Bundle

To cancel Hulu from your bundle, go to your Spotify account settings and find the Offers or Add-ons section. Select the option to remove Hulu. Your Spotify Premium subscription continues, and your billing returns to the Spotify-only price on your next billing date.

Your Hulu account does not delete automatically — Spotify will send you instructions for converting it to a standalone Hulu account if you want to keep watching. If you do nothing, your Hulu access stops when the bundle ends. Any saved shows, watchlists, or viewing history in Hulu may be preserved if you reactivate later, depending on Hulu's retention policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the Hulu part of the bundle on multiple devices at once?

Yes, the ad-supported Hulu plan included in the bundle allows two simultaneous streams. If you need more, you would upgrade to Hulu's higher-tier plan through Hulu directly, which costs extra.

What happens to my Hulu account if I cancel the Spotify bundle?

Hulu access stops when the bundle ends. Spotify will offer to convert your Hulu account to a standalone subscription so you can keep your watchlist and history, but you would pay Hulu directly instead of through Spotify.

Is the bundle cheaper than paying for Spotify and Hulu separately?

Usually yes, but prices vary by region and change over time. Check the current price of Spotify Premium and Hulu's ad-supported plan in your area, then compare the total to the bundle price. Promotional offers can shift which option costs less.

Can I upgrade to ad-free Hulu while keeping the Spotify bundle?

Yes. The bundle includes only Hulu with ads, but you can pay Hulu extra to remove ads. This does not change your Spotify subscription or price — you simply add the Hulu upgrade fee to your total monthly cost.

Do I need a separate Hulu password?

No. Spotify creates your Hulu account and password automatically when you add the bundle. You use the email and password Spotify provides to sign into Hulu on any device.
