The short answer? It’s complicated

ViX has become a go-to streaming home for Spanish-language telenovelas, movies, and live fútbol, and plenty of viewers want to try ViX Premium before paying for it. Here’s the catch: ViX doesn’t offer a traditional free trial to customers signing up directly through the Vix website in the United States or Puerto Rico.

A genuine 7-day ViX Premium free trial is currently available through Amazon Prime Video Channels for eligible subscribers. ViX Premium is also available as an add-on through YouTube TV, but free-trial lengths for add-on networks can vary, so check the offer shown in your account before subscribing.

This guide breaks down what ViX offers for free, where you can currently find a ViX Premium trial, and how to cancel before a free trial converts to a paid subscription. We’ll also cover ViX Gratis, the free ad-supported tier that requires no payment method and can be watched without registering.

What does the ViX free trial include?

Here’s the nuance: if you sign up for ViX Premium directly on vix.com, you won’t get a standalone free trial in the United States or Puerto Rico. ViX currently lists ViX Premium Con Anuncios (with limited ads) at $6.99 per month and ViX Premium Sin Anuncios at $10.99 per month for eligible U.S. and Puerto Rico subscribers.

A genuine 7-day ViX Premium free trial is currently available through Amazon Prime Video Channels for eligible subscribers. ViX Premium is also available as an add-on through YouTube TV, where add-on networks may have separate free trials, but trial lengths vary. Check the offer displayed in your account before signing up.

ViX Premium includes original and exclusive programming and premium sports, including Liga MX and UEFA Champions League coverage. The Sin Anuncios plan removes ads during ViX Original series and movies, although ViX notes that other content may still display ads. ViX also offers next-day premiere episodes of select novelas, subject to rights restrictions.

ViX Gratis remains free with ads and requires no payment method. Registration is optional. If you subscribe to ViX Premium through a third-party platform, check that platform’s displayed renewal price because pricing and promotions can vary by platform.

How do I sign up for the ViX free trial?

The clearest currently advertised 7-day ViX Premium trial in the U.S. is through Amazon Prime Video Channels.

1. Open Prime Video and search for the ViX Premium channel.
2. Confirm that the ViX Premium page displays the 7-day free-trial offer for your account.
3. Review the renewal price and trial terms before subscribing.
4. Add a valid payment method and start the trial.
5. Cancel before the renewal date if you don’t want the subscription to continue as a paid membership.

You can also find ViX Premium among YouTube TV’s add-on networks. Trials for extra networks have separate signup and billing and that trial lengths can vary, so check the exact offer shown in your YouTube TV account. If you don’t need a trial, you can subscribe directly through vix.com.

How do I cancel my ViX free trial?

Subscribers can cancel ViX through the same platform used to sign up and manage their subscription. Free trials and paid subscriptions generally renew automatically unless you cancel before the renewal date.
