If there's one thing keeping most remaining cord-havers from becoming cord-cutters, it’s the fear that they won't be able to watch their favorite shows anymore. Of course, most of us know that shows like “The Walking Dead” can be found on other platforms besides cable TV. But not all of us know where to watch “The Walking Dead,” episodes from past seasons, or how to watch “The Walking Dead” without cable when the current season airs live. Both of these things are possible, though, and we're here to show you how.
How to Watch The Walking Dead Online Without Cable
“The Walking Dead” airs on AMC. But how can you get AMC without paying for cable or satellite TV? It's easier than you might think. First, you'll need an OTT skinny bundle, which is a slimmed-down package of network channels that are delivered over the top (or OTT; in other words, streaming services). These generally cost far less than a cable subscription and won't lock you into a contract. Let's take a look at some of your options.
Super-affordable Philo is taking the streaming world by storm, and it’s not hard to see why. By skipping pricey local channels and sports networks, Philo is able to deliver a bundle of popular networks like AMC without breaking the bank. You can sign up for a free trial of Philo.
fuboTV'S bundle of live streaming TV channels is full of great stuff. You'll find AMC in the group, which means that you'll be able to use fuboTV to stream “The Walking Dead” whenever it airs on AMC. Enjoy!
Sling TV pretty much invented the skinny bundle. Sling TV remains one of the very best options for streaming live TV without cable, and its customizable pricing structure makes it easy to build the perfect bundle. AMC is available through Sling TV, making it a great way to enjoy “The Walking Dead,” no cable required.
YouTube TV
YouTube TV, Google's live TV streaming service, is impressive. YouTube TV’s relatively affordable bundle of channels includes AMC, and its app is easy to use.
AMC Plus
AMC Plus is a streaming service that includes on-demand access to the latest AMC shows, as well as series back catalogs, movies, and more. It’s a handy way to watch “The Walking Dead” without cable.
Netflix
Yes, “The Walking Dead” is indeed on Netflix! There's only one catch: Netflix offers previously aired seasons only, so once you're caught up, you're on your own. Still, this is a great option for folks hoping to start from the beginning, or for anyone who’s stopped watching somewhere in the middle seasons and wants to catch up. Netflix also offers a free trial.
