The AMC channel is home to some of the most successful TV show franchises in recent history: Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and The Walking Dead just to name a few. And good news: you don't need a cable subscription to watch it.
You can watch AMC without cable on Sling TV Blue, Sling TV Orange, Sling TV Orange + Blue, Philo, DirecTV Stream, Fubo TV, Fubo TV Elite, YouTube TV, Spectrum TV, or Xfinity Choice TV.
Below, we count down the best ways to watch AMC that cord-cutters use.
As Sling’s most bare-bones live TV package, Sling TV Orange still provides a pretty sweet deal. For $40 a month you get more than 30 channels, 50 hours of DVR storage, and the option to customize your channel lineup with “Extras,” additional channel packages catered to your specific interests.

More than 60 live channels, unlimited DVR storage, and streaming on multiple devices for $25 a month? It’s hard to find a sweeter cord-cutting deal. As good as it is, you do go without some cable mainstays: Philo doesn’t carry any sports channels. But if you get that content elsewhere and you’re fine without it, Philo’s deal is unbeatable.
