It’s getting easier for cord-cutters to stream whenever, wherever. Apple TV+ has joined Prime Video, making it simpler to watch Major League Soccer, Thursday Night Football and Amazon and Apple’s lineup of original series all in one place.
Members of Amazon Prime and Prime Video can try Apple TV+ free for seven days. After the first week, the streaming service auto-renews at $9.99 monthly. A subscription to Prime ($14.99 per month or $139 per year) or the standalone Prime Video service ($8.99 monthly) is required, and both include a free 30-day trial for eligible new customers.
Apple TV+ is now the same price as Hulu‘s ad-supported base plan (which increases to $9.99 per month on Oct. 17) and more expensive than Netflix’s monthly service ($7.99 and up monthly)— but you get award-winning series and movies such as Killers of the Flower Moon, Ted Lasso and The Morning Show; top-notch sci-fi including Dark Matter and Silo; and live TV sports streaming for Major League Soccer.
Prime Video is home to original series such as Fallout, The Boys, Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and much more alongside Thursday Night Football.
