Add AMC Plus to another service

If AMC+ doesn’t cover all of your TV needs, pair it with another streaming service or cable provider. Pairing it with a streaming service will probably cost you less a month than adding AMC+ to a cable or satellite subscription.

Here are the current providers offering AMC+ as an add-on. Just note that the price to add AMC+ is determined by the provider.

AMC Plus specs and features

AMC+ allows users up to five simultaneous streams. So if five different household users love the bundle’s offerings but want to watch different shows at the same time, this plan will accommodate everyone.

But if you’re running all five streams at the same time, make sure your internet speed is robust enough to let the programs load and flow quickly. Our Best Internet for Streaming can be a handy guide to determine if you need to make a switch.
