MasterClass is one of the internet’s favorite ways to learn a new skill, with courses on everything from music to acting to cooking. The best part? Every course is taught by an expert in the field, and many are also A-list celebrities.
MasterClass is normally a very good deal, with a $15-a-month subscription getting you access to every course on the site. However, right now you get 50% off all MasterClass plans thanks to the platform’s Cyber Week promotion. That brings the starting price down to around $10 a month (billed annually) for the Premium Tier. Just be sure to act fast so you don’t forget: This MasterClass Cyber Week discount ends on Dec. 3, 2025.
The Cyber Week promo includes 50% off a MasterClass Premium plan, which normally costs $20 a month and allows six devices to be connected at once. With the sale, new users can get it for only $10 a month. Split that up among friends or family members, and the monthly cost goes down to just $1.66 a month, per person. Sign up for the Premium Plan here.
A MasterClass subscription gets you access to the platform’s entire library of courses. There are more than 200 in total, including standouts like “Steve Martin Teaches Comedy,” “Margaret Atwood Teaches Creative Writing,” and “Paul Krugman Teaches Economics and Society.”
What Are the Best MasterClass Deals? Pricing, Discounts
MasterClass occasionally holds sales, but right now the site is offering 50% off its Premium Package, 50% off its Plus Tier, and 50% off its Standard Tier. This is the best MasterClass deal we’ve seen in months (or maybe all year, in fact). The MasterClass Cyber Week promo will only be available for a few more hours, so don’t wait to snag the discount before it’s too late.
Another way to save on your plan beyond the promotion? One hack is to share your account with friends or family. The Standard plan allows one user at a time and costs $5 a month at the time of this writing (50% off the normal $10/month price). The Plus plan, meanwhile, is currently $7.50/month (was $15) and can be split between two users. Finally, as we’ve previously mentioned, the Premium plan is $10/month (was $20), but allows for six users at a time, making it the best deal, per person.
How Does MasterClass Work?
MasterClass offers more than 200 courses (and counting) across a wide range of categories, from writing and music to business and branding. Just a few of the standout courses include Garry Kasparov teaching chess, Samuel L. Jackson teaching acting, and David Lynch teaching creativity and filmmaking.
Created with beginners in mind, MasterClass courses focus on video lessons divided into short, easy-to-digest segments you can watch at your own pace. These lessons are accessible on your phone, laptop, tablet, or streaming device, so you can fit in a session whenever it works for you — whether on your lunch break or while traveling.
Beyond the video lessons, most MasterClass courses also include a workbook and opportunities for community interaction, giving you a chance to practice what you’ve learned and share your work with fellow students.
MasterClass also launched “Sessions” — a more intensive type of course that lasts 30 days, starts on a set date, and involves more hands-on work and feedback from peers. Sessions’ lessons have included video production with Marques Brownlee, negotiation with Chris Voss, and photography with Petra Collins.
Whether you’re considering MasterClass for yourself, your family, or your team, be sure to check out the platform’s group deals. See the full MasterClass promotion details here.

Editor’s Note: In previous years, MasterClass Cyber Monday promotions ended at midnight on the shopping holiday. This year, the promotion officially runs through Dec. 3, 2025, giving you a few extra days to take advantage of the 50% off deal before it disappears for the season. Cyber Week typically extends several days beyond Cyber Monday, offering continued opportunities to score great deals on top products.
