How To Watch MGM Plus On Any Device
To watch MGM+ you have two main options: 1. Subscribe directly at mgmplus.com for $6.99 per month or $58.99 per year, then sign in on the MGM+ app — available on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Android TV, iPhone/iPad, Android phones and tablets, and Samsung, LG, Sony, and Vizio smart TVs, plus the web. 2. Add MGM+ as a Prime Video Channel for $7.99 per month and watch inside the Prime Video app on any device that runs it. Despite Amazon owning MGM, MGM+ is not included free with Prime — it is a paid add-on either way. Below is what each route gets you and how to pick.
What Is MGM+, Exactly?
MGM+ is the premium channel formerly known as EPIX — it rebranded in January 2023 after Amazon bought MGM. The service carries MGM's movie library alongside originals like From, Godfather of Harlem, and Robin Hood, all ad-free. Because it began life as a cable channel, it is also still available the old-fashioned way through many cable and satellite TV packages, which matters for one of the watch options below.
Option 1: The MGM+ App (Cheapest)
Subscribing directly at mgmplus.com is the lowest price: $6.99 per month, or $58.99 per year — the annual plan works out to under $5 a month. Sign up on the web, then install the MGM+ app and sign in:
- Streaming devices: Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, and Android TV/Google TV.
- Smart TVs: Samsung, LG, Sony, and Vizio models.
- Mobile: iPhone, iPad, and Android phones and tablets, with downloads for offline viewing.
- Web: mgmplus.com in any modern browser on Mac or Windows.
Setup on a TV uses a standard activation code — the app shows a short code, you enter it on the web while signed in. We cover the code flow step by step in our guide to activating MGM+ on any device.
Option 2: MGM+ Through Prime Video (Most Convenient)
If you already live in the Prime Video app, add MGM+ as a channel for $7.99 per month. There is no separate app or login — MGM+ shows up as a hub inside Prime Video, and everything plays with your existing Amazon account on every device Prime Video supports. You pay a dollar more per month than the direct route, and there is no discounted annual option, but billing sits on your Amazon account and cancellation is two clicks — see how to cancel a subscription on Amazon for exactly where that lives.
Option 3: Through Your Cable Or TV Provider
Many cable, satellite, and live-TV packages still carry MGM+ as a premium channel add-on, priced by the provider. If you subscribe this way, you can also unlock the MGM+ app on your streaming devices by signing in with your TV provider credentials — useful if you want the channel on the living-room cable box and the app on a bedroom Roku without paying twice.
Which Option Should You Pick?
- Cheapest overall: the annual direct plan at $58.99/year.
- Simplest: Prime Video Channels at $7.99/month — no new app, no new password, easy to cancel and resubscribe when a season of your show drops.
- Already pay for it on cable? Use your TV provider login in the MGM+ app for free before buying anything.
One strategy worth knowing: because MGM+ is cheap and cancelable monthly, many subscribers rotate — subscribe for a month, binge the originals, cancel, repeat when something new lands.
