    \n\t\tHow to Watch the 2026 American Music Awards Online for Free \t<\/h2>\n

    \n\tHere\u2019s where you\u2019ll find a ways to tune into the AMAs online for free, below:<\/p>\n

    DIRECTV<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    Watch ON DIRECTV free<\/span><\/div>\n

    \n\tIf you\u2019re looking to tune into the award show, consider DIRECTV. For CBS, the streaming service\u2019s \u201cMyNews\u201d package comes with the broadcast network, along with other local channels, like NBC, ABC and Fox, starting at $34.99 per month for the first two months of service ($39.99 per month afterwards).<\/p>\n

    \n\tHowever, our top pick is the service\u2019s ENTERTAINMENT package, which features CBS, along with over 90 other live TV channels. This package is currently on sale for $59.99 for the first month of service ($89.99 a month afterwards). If you\u2019re unsure about committing to a new subscription, you can simply try the service out for free for five days with a free trial.<\/p>\n

    Paramount+ <\/strong><\/h3>\n

    \n\tTo watch the ceremony live without cable, you can subscribe to Paramount+ Premium for $13.99 per month, a plan that includes access to Showtime\u2019s exclusive and original programs. This plan also includes local CBS stations, additional live sports and the ability to download content to watch on the go.<\/p>\n

    \n\tIt is important to note that you cannot tune into the award show live with Paramount+\u2019s Essentials plan, the lower tier subscription, because the subscription does not give users access to livestream the AMAs. You can, however, watch the show the day after the broadcast on\u00a0Paramount+\u00a0via any Paramount+ plan.<\/p>\n

    Fubo<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Fubo\u2019s package includes DVR at no extra charge, so you can record your favorite TV shows, like AMAs, to watch or rewatch on-demand. Continue with one of Fubo\u2019s streaming deals or cancel before your free trial is up to avoid being charged. See details here.<\/p>\n

    Hulu + Live TV<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    \n\tAnother option for our readers is a Hulu + Live TV subscription, given that CBS is included in the live TV channel lineup.
