What Are Prime Video Channels?
Prime Video Channels is an add-on subscription service available through Amazon Prime Video. It lets you subscribe to premium TV networks and streaming services directly within the Prime Video interface, so you can watch content from multiple providers without switching between apps.
Here are the key things to know about Prime Video Channels in 2026:
- Centralised streaming hub: Subscribe to services like Starz, Paramount+, Max, AMC+, Crunchyroll, Discovery+, and many more through your Prime Video account. Content from all subscribed channels appears in your unified Prime Video library.
- 100+ channels available: Amazon offers over 100 Prime Video Channels spanning premium networks, sports, documentaries, international content, horror, anime, and British TV. Each channel provides on-demand content, and some include live streams.
- Flexible monthly pricing: Each channel has its own monthly fee on top of your Amazon Prime membership. Prices range from $0.99/month to $24.99/month, with most popular channels falling between $5 and $15 per month. Most channels offer a 7-day free trial.
- Amazon Prime membership required: You need an Amazon Prime subscription ($14.99/month or $139/year) or a standalone Prime Video subscription ($8.99/month) to access Prime Video Channels.
- Key features: Depending on the channel, you can watch ad-free content, download titles for offline viewing, access live programming, and stream in HD or 4K when available. Parental controls are included across all channels.
- Channel content vs. standalone service: A Prime Video Channel subscription may not include the full content catalogue of that service's standalone app. You get the content the provider makes available through the Channels platform.

How to Subscribe to Prime Video Channels
Adding a Prime Video Channel to your account takes just a few steps. You can subscribe through the Prime Video website or the Prime Video app on your device.
Go to amazon.com/channels or open Prime Video and navigate to the "Channels" section in the top menu.
Sign in to your Amazon account if you are not already logged in. You must have an active Amazon Prime or Prime Video membership.
Browse the available channels. You can scroll through featured channels or click "See More" to view the full list. Channels are organised by category (Premium Networks, Sports, Movies & TV, etc.).
Click on the channel you want to subscribe to. The channel page will display content previews, pricing, and free trial availability.
Once you find the channel you want, click it. After that, Amazon will lead you to the channel
page you chose. Next, there are attached details on the channel that you chose, including
pricing information.
Select your payment method.
Finally, the channel has now been added to your Prime Video account.
Subscribe via the Prime Video App
On mobile or smart TV devices, open the Prime Video app, go to the "Channels" or "Store" section, select the channel you want, and follow the on-screen prompts. Note that if you subscribe through Apple's App Store or Google Play, billing will be handled by that platform rather than Amazon directly.
How to Cancel Prime Video Channels
You can cancel a Prime Video Channel subscription at any point. After cancelling, you retain access to the channel's content until the end of your current billing period.
Method 1: Cancel via Prime Video Website
Go to Prime Video and sign in to your Amazon account.
Navigate to "Subscriptions" (found under your account settings or profile menu). You will see a list of your active channel subscriptions under "My Subscriptions."
Click "Manage" next to the channel you want to cancel, then select "Cancel Channel" and confirm your choice.
The cancellation confirmation screen will display your access end date. You can continue watching until that date.
Method 2: Cancel via Amazon Account Settings
Log in to your Amazon account at amazon.com.
Go to "Your Account" and select "Memberships & Subscriptions".
Under "Prime Video Channels", locate the channel subscription you want to cancel and click "Cancel Channel".
Confirm the cancellation. The page will show the channel name, your renewal date, and the monthly cost before you finalize.
Method 3: Cancel on Mobile or TV
On the Prime Video app (mobile or TV), go to Settings, then Channel Subscriptions or Manage Your Subscriptions. Find the channel and select "Cancel". If you subscribed through Apple or Google Play, you must cancel through that platform's subscription management instead.
Note: If you are offered a self-service refund and accept it, the cancellation takes effect immediately. Otherwise, your subscription remains active until the end of the current billing cycle. You can reverse the cancellation at any time before the expiration date if you change your mind.
How to Download Content From Prime Video Channels for Offline Viewing
Many Prime Video Channel subscriptions allow you to download content for offline viewing through the Prime Video app. However, download availability varies by channel, and not all titles from every channel support offline downloads.
Download Using the Prime Video App
Open the Prime Video app on your mobile device or tablet.
Search for the title you want to download. For movies, go to the detail page and tap the download button.
For TV shows, you can download individual episodes by tapping the download icon next to each episode or download an entire season at once.
Downloaded titles are saved to your device. You can manage storage location in the Prime Video app settings. Watch the downloaded content offline whenever it suits you.
Note: Downloads through the Prime Video app are temporary. You have a limited viewing window (typically 48 hours after you start watching, and up to 30 days from the download date). After that, the download expires and you need to re-download while connected to the internet. If you want to keep downloaded content for personal backup purposes, you can use a third-party downloader. See section 3 below for details.
Use a Third-Party Downloader for Permanent Offline Backup
If you want to save Prime Video content for long-term personal offline backup, a third-party downloader such as StreamFab can help. StreamFab allows you to download Amazon Prime Video to PC in standard video formats for convenient offline viewing on any device.
