If you’ve found yourself thinking that the cost of streaming services has gotten out of control lately, you’re not alone.

Luckily, the world of free streaming has expanded a lot in the past few years and there are a lot of services with legitimately great free offerings.

Here’s how to get all of those great free shows and movies into your TV.

The first thing you’re going to need to do is head over to Amazon and add one of its 55% off Fire TV streaming sticks to your cart while Amazon Prime Day is still going strong. The Fire TV Stick 4K Select, currently priced at $17.99, is a great option, especially at this price.

From there, all you’ll need to do to start watching things for free is set it up and download a few apps.

Of course, you can download and sign into all of the streaming services you already pay to subscribe to — whether that’s Paramount+, Disney+ or Apple TV — the Fire TV Stick has ’em all. But if you’re looking for this fast and free method we speak of, you’re going to want to download Tubi, Pluto, The Roku Channel and even some paid services like Prime Video, DIRECTV, and Sling, which have tons of free titles and channels available subscription-free.

These streaming libraries are vast, full of acclaimed titles and typically, don’t even require an account to start tuning in. If you choose to make free accounts, though, you’ll be able to create watchlists and save your streaming progress.

(Personally, I’d recommend watching “Challengers” for free on Tubi.)

The first step is the Fire TV Stick HD, though, so we recommend adding that one to your cart now, because Cyber Monday will be over in the blink of an eye.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select delivers crisp 4K Ultra HD streaming with support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and immersive Dolby Atmos audio. Positioned between the entry-level HD model and the premium 4K Max, it offers excellent picture quality and performance and is the best option for most streamers.
