How to Watch AMC Online: The Definitive Guide 

AMC is one of easiest networks to stream without cable.

My top pick right now for streaming AMC is through Philo because it’s one of the cheapest options out there. 

Philo has 64 live TV channels, including AMC for $25 per month. Subscribers get unlimited Cloud DVR and a huge library of on-demand movies and TV shows. 

You can quickly sign up for a free 7-day trial of Philo in under a minute using your mobile number. You’ll get networks such as A&E, HGTV and Investigation Discovery as part of Philo’s channel lineup. 

But it’s not your only option. There are a half dozen ways for cord-cutters to stream AMC live without a cable subscription. So you should weigh the pros and cons of each service before deciding which one best fits your streaming desires.
