Streaming services are literally a dime a dozen these days. And although most of us have heard of, and likely use, the “big five” (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, and HBO Max), there are even more streaming services than that. Especially if you’re into live TV streaming, you can choose from a growing list of streaming options like Philo, Fubo, Sling TV, Hulu + Live TV, and more.
So what streaming services are out there in the US, UK, Canada, India, Australia, and China? What on-demand and live TV streaming services should you be considering for your entertainment needs? Here is a complete list of over 200+ streaming services available in 2021.
And if you're opting for live TV, we've got you covered. The free Flixed TV Guide offers programming schedules for local and national live TV channels, even without a streaming service subscription.
United States streaming services
The US has the most robust streaming service market available. Not only does this make TV streaming guides far more necessary to discover what's on TV, but it also gives US entertainment fans more options than their friends internationally.
US general live TV streaming - 20+ services
Those looking for alternatives to cable are increasingly turning their attention to live TV streaming options. Sometimes called “over-the-top” TV (OTT) or even IPTV, live TV streaming services eliminate the need for an expensive cable TV subscription, while still offering a wide selection of popular TV channels.
Sling TV was the first and most well-known option to hit the market, but there are now over half a dozen of these Internet TV services available to consumers. Here is a complete list of US-based live TV streaming services currently available.
Fubo
While Philo runs as far away from sports as possible, Fubo embraces them. In fact, Fubo is the only sports-centric internet TV streaming service on the market right now. That makes Fubo extremely unique in the field, but also, consequently, one of the more expensive options.
Fubo gives you a one-week free trial. After that, you’ll have to pay for one of their three main packages.
Fubo Pro
Try 7 days free
- 1000 hours of cloud DVR
- Stream on ten screens
- 180+ channels
$74.99/month
Fubo Elite
Try 7 days free
- Stream on ten screens
- 1000 hours of cloud DVR
- 250+ channels
- HD and 4K video quality
$84.99/month
Fubo Premier
Try 7 days free
- Stream on ten screens
- 250+ channels
- HD and 4K video quality
- 1000 hours of cloud DVR
- Showtime included
$94.99/month
This service makes international soccer one of its key focuses, so if you’re a US soccer fan who can’t usually access international games, Fubo is definitely the service for you.
Outside of that, you’ll find a good selection of US sports channels like Fox Sports, NBC Sports Network, and the Golf Channel, as well as a good mixture of entertainment channels and some local sports coverage. Unfortunately, if you want ESPN, you’re out of luck. Fubo has, unfortunately, not been able to convince ESPN to join its growing library of channels.
Philo
One of the cheapest live TV services around, Philo was originally an internet streaming service for college campuses. It's now the lowest-cost option on the market for live entertainment TV.
Philo is unique in that it provides no sports channels and almost no news channels. There are also no local broadcast networks like NBC, ABC, Fox, or CBS. By ditching all of those options, Philo is able to provide its service for an extremely cheap price for 65+ channels after a 7-day free trial.
Philo Base
Try 7 days free
- Unlimited cloud DVR saved for 1 year
- Stream on three screens
- Shows movies and 70+ channels
- 7-day free trial
$25/month
If you want sports, local TV shows, or news channels, Philo isn’t for you. But if you find yourself regularly watching entertainment TV networks like the History Channel, Discovery Channel, IFC, Cooking Channel, HGTV, and similar cable networks, Philo is a great option to consider.
Hulu + Live TV
If you already have Hulu’s on-demand streaming service, Disney+ and/or ESPN+ and you’re thinking about cutting the cord to get live TV as well, consider going with Hulu’s Live TV option. The reason? You get Hulu’s on-demand option thrown in for the price, so you’ll actually save money if you’re already using a Hulu account.
Hulu + Live TV provides 90+ live TV channels, including popular sports and entertainment networks. You also get a selection of local channels, although not as many as some competitors, like Sling TV.
Hulu (with ads)

As noted, Hulu + Live TV is one of the most inclusive packages available in the live TV space thanks to including Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu on-demand in the package.
Sling TV
Sling TV is basically the granddaddy of every live TV streaming service on this list. Owned and operated by Dish Network, this service provides a somewhat convoluted selection of subscription TV internet TV options for cord-cutters.
With Sling TV, you can get a package with 30+ channels with Sling Blue or Sling Orange, or you can combine their two basic channel options into one, and save some money.
Sling Orange
$10 off your first month
- 30+ channels
- ESPN
- Stream on one device
$40/month
Sling Blue
$10 off your first month
- 40+ channels
- Local channels in select cities
- News and entertainment
- Stream on three screens
$45/month
Sling Orange & Blue
$10 off your first month
- General cable replacement
- 45+ channels
- Stream on three screens
$60/month
Unlike Fubo or Philo, there’s plenty of channel selection on Sling without any focus or emphasis exclusively on sports or entertainment. Instead, you can get both sports and entertainment from Sling TV.
Additionally, Sling TV is not only one of the only live TV streaming services that offers occasional pay-per-view options, it's one of the only places Live TV streaming services where you can do sports betting thanks to the company's exclusive agreement with DraftKings.
DirecTV Stream (Formerly AT&T TV Now)
As of 2022, DirecTV Stream has shifted away from AT&T and is now back into the hands of DirecTV (where it started).
DirecTV Stream Entertainment
Pay $49.99 for the first 2 months
- 75+ channels
- Stream on unlimited devices at home
- Unlimited DVR space
- Three months of Max free
$79.99/month
DirecTV Stream Optimo Mas
- 100+ live TV channels
- Spanish and English programming
- Three months of Max free
- Unlimited DVR space
$79.99/month
DirecTV Stream Choice
Pay $49.99 for the first 2 months
- 105+ live channels
- Unlimited DVR space
- Includes regional sports networks
- Three months of Max free
$108.99/month
DirecTV Stream Ultimate
Pay $49.99 for the first 2 months
- 140+ live channels
- Unlimited DVR space
- Includes regional sports networks
- Three months of Max free
$119.99/month
DirecTV Stream Premier
- Unlimited DVR space
- 150+ channels
- Includes Max Cinemax SHOWTIME and STARZ
- Includes regional sports networks
$154.99/month
Unlike other multi-channel live TV streaming services, DirecTV Stream includes taxes and other fees. However, it's one of the few options on the list that still carries most regional sports networks (RSNs), so it's likely the best option if you're a big sports fan.
YouTube TV
YouTube may have been your go-to source for cat videos, but it’s now a great option for cutting out cable TV from your life for good.
A separate service offered by Google’s YouTube (you need a different app to get it working), YouTube TV provides over 100 channels.
YouTube TV Spanish
Only $24.99 for the first 6 months
- Unlimited DVR space
- 6 accounts to share at home
- Stream on three screens
- 30+ Spanish channels
$34.99/month
YouTube TV
Only $54.99 for the first 3 months
- Unlimited DVR space
- 6 accounts for one price
- Stream on three screens
- 100+ live TV channels
$72.99/month
The real draw for this service, however, is the fact that it gives you a ridiculous number of user profiles. You can have 6 different user profiles with YouTube TV, making it easy for your entire household to have separate accounts. And since each account gets its own unlimited DVR, everyone can record and rewatch their favorite shows later.
The only rub here is that only 3 devices can be streaming YouTube TV at a time, so all six profiles can’t stream at the same time. Nevertheless, YouTube TV is a great option for families and cash-strapped college students who are looking to share a subscription.
Spectrum TV
Spectrum has dipped its toe into modernizing traditional cable TV with its Spectrum TV service. You can watch its TV Select service using its Spectrum TV app, shirking the traditional cable TV box. It even offers its TV plan with no contract starting at $59.99 per month for 12 months.
Pluto.tv
Not all TV needs to be subscription-based. Pluto.tv is the go-to option if you want free and legal IPTV.
Pluto.tv carries a large number of free live TV channels, many of which are news and entertainment with a smattering of sports. Bloomberg and Cheddar are both available, and you can even find live TV streams from Fox Sports (commentary shows only). Overall, there are hundreds of live TV channels available through Pluto.tv, so you want free TV, you should sign up for this service right away.
After being purchased by Viacom in 2019, the service also now offers a wide range of on-demand content. That's a big shift from its original focus on 24/7 live TV.
Xumo
Xumo is a free, live TV streaming service that is extremely similar to Pluto.tv. With Xumo, you can watch a large number of live TV channels for free, covering everything from sports, to movies, and more. Like PlutoTV, Xumo also has a wider selection of on-demand content in 2022.
KlowdTV
A small, live TV streaming service, KlowdTV provides 81 channels for $9.99 per month. However, the service is now offering a selection of channels to watch, completely for free. You'll need their separate equipment purchase to watch, however.
LG Channel Plus
Only available as a channel on LG TVs, LG Plus provides live TV channels for free.
TV Everywhere
Not quite a cord-cutting service, TV Everywhere is the go-to app service that most cable TV providers use to allow you to watch your TV anywhere through a mobile device.
NBC News Now
NBC launched its own news streaming app in 2019. The NBC News Now app offers live streaming news from 3-11 PM EST, Monday through Friday.
Frndly TV
Frndly TV is a small-scale live TV streaming service that's designed to be ultra family-friendly. The service carries 30+ entertainment network channels.
Frndly TV Basic
Try 7 days free
- 40+ channels

- On demand content
$6.99/month
Frndly TV Classic

$8.99/month
Frndly TV Premium

- HD video quality
- Unlimited DVR space
- Stream on four screens
- On demand content
$10.99/month
Vidgo
An interesting new service that launched in late 2019, Vidgo is similar to Fubo with a sports-heavy focus on streaming. However, you'll gain access to a wide selection of entertainment and lifestyle networks, as well.
Vidgo Mas
Only $10 for your first month
- 45+ live Spanish channels
- On demand content
- Cloud DVR
- Stream on three screens
$39.99/month
Vidgo Plus
Only $10 for your first month
- On demand content
- Cloud DVR
- 110+ channels
- Stream on three screens
$69.99/month
Vidgo Premium
Only $10 for your first month
- 150+ channels
- On demand content
- Cloud DVR
- Stream on three screens
$84.99/month
Vidgo Ultimate
- All English and Spanish channels
- The most live sports
- News and local shows
- Stream on three screens
$99.99/month
Uniquely, this service offers a wide selection of Spanish-language sports channels, which you can purchase as a separate and standalone package. And you can also purchase access to DAZN through Vidgo.
US live sports streaming
A growing number of sports-only streaming options are making it to the market. Almost every sport you can think of now has its own streaming service, with many of the official sports leagues hosting those services themselves.
ESPN+
ESPN's new streaming service launched in 2018 and comes in at a rather low cost. However, many have maligned the service for not being what consumers really want. ESPN+ does not provide access to any of the main ESPN channels.
(Note: You can get ESPN+ included with Hulu + Live TV at no additional cost.)
NBA League Pass
Who needs front-row seats when you can just watch NBA games on TV? NBA League Pass gives you access to hundreds of games each season from any device.
NFL Game Pass
NFL Game Pass allows you to watch in-market and out-of-market games without the need for a cable subscription. Game Pass is available worldwide, but in the US, only allows you to watch games on-demand after they air. Outside of the US, however, you can use the service to watch live NFL games.
NHL.TV
NHL games are now easier to access than ever through NHL.TV. You can watch both in-market and out-of-market games with DVR recording available as well.
UFC Fight Pass
UFC fans can watch a large number of fights every year with UFC Fight Pass. You can even bundle Fight Pass with some Pay-Per-View events for cost savings.
WWE Network
As with UFC Fight Pass, WWE fans can catch a plethora of live and on-demand WWE content through a WWE Network subscription. You'll even get access to all Pay-Per-View events without any additional cost.
Bleacher Report
The sports reporting site Bleacher Report now has a live sports streaming service, available through its app. You'll be able to watch all-new All Elites Wrestling (AEW) events, as well as a variety of other sports both live and on-demand.
MLB.TV
Although it's a bit on the pricey side if you go month-to-month and imposes far too many game blackouts, MLB.TV is the go-to option for baseball fans who want to catch as many games as possible.
PokerGo
Is poker a sport? Some might say it is, and PokerGo is your best option to watch as much live and on-demand poker as you can get.
Willow TV
Cricket fans in the US have an option, at long last, and it's known as Willow TV. For $10.99 per month, you'll find Willow TV is the perfect service for you if you can't get enough cricket.
F1 TV
If you have a need for speed, F1 TV is well-suited for you. This service provides access to F1 racing all season long.
Ginx
Yes, eSports count as sports as well! This international service lets you watch more eSports action than you'll know what to do with. Ginx is also extremely cheap at under $12 annually.
Twitter actually deserves a small spot and a small mention here. Due to a few agreements with the MLB and other sports leagues, a few live sports can be accessed via Twitter.
DAZN
DAZN ("da zone") is an international sports streaming service that is available in the UK, Germany, Japan, Canada, and the US, among a few other locations. The service offers a wide library of live and on-demand sports. For US fans, it promises to be a one-price option for Pay-Per-View events as well.
DAZN
Only $99.99 for the year
- 50+ fights
- Crossover boxing women's soccer pool & more
- Pay per view available for purchase
$19.99/month
Twitch
Twitch is a streaming giant, but also a real monster of a service to really classify. Indeed, it's sort of in a class of its own. Originally created to stream video games, Twitch now encompasses a lot more than that, including 24/7 TV shows, random cams, and even live events. Twitch is now owned by Amazon and comes free with an Amazon Prime account. However, there's a free option for Twitch as well.
MOTORTREND+
Gear heads: Here is your sign. Combining motorsports with on-demand entertainment TV options, MOTORTREND+ has all of the automotive content you're looking for.
US on-demand streaming: Varied content
You’ve heard of Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video, but did you know there are a lot more options than that? Some are even completely free and legal to use, as well. Here are 30 great streaming services that provide a varied mixture of genres, TV shows, and movies.
We recommend checking out JustWatch for more information on each service. If you’re looking for a specific movie or TV show and where to find it, we highly recommend ReelGood for your searching needs.
Netflix
There’s no doubt that Netflix is the #1 on-demand streaming service for consumers. With over 5,000 titles in the US library and many thousands in libraries around the world, Netflix is the undisputed champion of on-demand streaming services.
Netflix Standard with Ads
- Stream on two screens
- On demand content
- HD video quality
- Downloads on up to two devices
$6.99/month
Netflix Standard
- No ads
- Stream on two screens
- HD video quality
- Downloads on up to two devices
$15.49/month
Netflix Premium
- No ads
- Stream on four screens
- HD and 4K video quality
- Downloads on up to six devices
$22.99/month
You’ll find Netflix has popular licensed TV shows and movies in its lineup of content, but the real draw for the service now is its original content, such as Stranger Things and Orange Is The New Black. Netflix is spending billions of dollars each year on original content you won’t find anywhere else, making it a nearly-essential addition to your streaming service lineup.
Hulu
Hulu is the smaller of the big three on-demand streaming services, but it’s the only one offering Live TV. You’ll still find several thousand TV shows and movies available through the on-demand Hulu service, often only a day after new episodes have aired. And as with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, Hulu is investing big in original hit shows.
Apple TV+
Apple TV+, launched in 2019, is Apple’s entry into the on-demand streaming market. The service features exclusively original movies and shows, like the Emmy-Award winning Ted Lasso, and is constantly adding to its ever-expanding library. Its content spans across multiple genres, including kids and family, drama, thriller/horror, science-fiction and documentaries.
AppleTV Plus
Try 7 days free
- On demand content
- No ads
- Stream on six screens
- Offline viewing
$9.99/month
RedBox
RedBox is not just a DVD vending machine anymore! Now, you can watch thousands of movies on RedBox through its website or dedicated apps. As with RedBox normally, you'll need to pay to rent the movies RedBox has to offer.
Tubi TV
My bias is showing here, but Tubi TV is one of the most fantastic on-demand services around, hands down. With over 4,000 titles in the US and many more in its UK and Canada content libraries, Tubi TV is a great, free on-demand service. Everything from quality TV shows and movies to anime are available.
Now that FoxEntertainment owns Tubi, the company has started to shift gears on the streaming service by adding Live TV to the mix.
Crackle
Similar in operation to Tubi TV, Crackle is a Sony-owned on-demand streaming service. It’s completely free and ad-supported and filled with mostly Sony’s copyrighted content. Still, that means hundreds of tv shows and movies, many of which are well rated, if not entirely brand new.
Popcornflix
Another free service with a similar monetization method as Crackle and Tubi TV (ads), Popcornflix provides hundreds of TV shows and movies to eager cord-cutters who want to save money.
Apple iTunes
If you've got the dime, Apple's for the time. You can purchase and view thousands of TV shows and movies through iTunes.
Google Play
Google Play is also a good source for those who want to purchase digital copies of TV shows (entire seasons available) and hit movies.
Shout Factory TV
Odd name aside, Shout Factory TV is an excellent free TV and movie streaming service for lovers of classic content. You'll find hit shows like Mystery Science Theater 3000 here, alongside movies like Jaws.
Vudu
Much like Google Play or Apple iTunes, Vudu lets you purchase or rent movies and TV shows online for later viewing. And as of 2022, Vudu now includes everything that was previously available on FandangoNOW.
Vimeo
Considered the YouTube for high-quality video, Vimeo is a great option for those who don't want to sift through the low-quality user-generated content that crowds YouTube's channels. Only well-crafted content makes its way to Vimeo, and you can also use the service to purchase and rent movies.
PantaFlix
A Germany-based streaming service for those who want content "from home" while traveling, PantaFlix provides a large range of content, from movies to TV shows.
Volta
Irish movie and TV fans can swarm over to Volta as a great alternative to Netflix. Volta has a large library of Irish content as well as international shows and movies.
The Roku Channel
Offering a mixture of free movies and TV shows, The Roku Channel is only available if you have a Roku device. There are currently over 600 titles available for streaming.
IMDb TV
Now incorporated into Amazon Prime Video, you'll get hundreds of top-ranked movies and TV shows, at no charge. IMDb Freedive is fully ad-supported, with over 300 titles available (and growing).
FlixFling
A relatively unknown entry that's also available in Canada, FlixFling offers several thousand TV shows and movies to stream for a low monthly fee. The service also has a music streaming option that distinguishes it from other services in the market.
Discovery+
One of the newest and most interesting options on the market today, Discovery+ launched in January 2021 with a lot of fanfare and heavy marketing. The service offers on-demand content from the entire Discovery, Inc., library of channels. And later in 2021, Discovery+ will also feature 24/7 live channels for many of its most popular programs. Note that the Discovery Inc., line-up of channels includes some of the most popular cable TV networks, including Discovery Channel, History Channel, Science Channel, HGTV, and others.
Fearless.li
A streaming service dedicated to uplifting and amplifying diverse voices, Fearless is your best option for indie content from historically marginalized groups, such as LGBTQ, Black, Disabled, Female, Indigenous and other under-represented communities.
US live TV and on-demand mixed options
While almost all of the live TV options provide some on-demand services, many other services are increasingly walking a line between both live TV and on-demand. These services are therefore a bit more difficult to place, so we created a separate category just for them.
Amazon Prime Video
If you have an Amazon Prime account, you have Amazon Prime Video. That also means you have access to the more than 16,000 titles available on Amazon Prime Video. Amazon beats Netflix in library size by a large margin, but some have claimed its content is only that way due to many low-quality films and TV shows.
Prime Video
- On demand content
- Stream on three screens
$8.99/month
There’s truth to that, but the sheer volume of titles also means that there are hundreds of top-rated films and TV shows as well. Additionally, Amazon is also spending big on original content and includes a unique “Channels” feature that lets you add different on-demand and live TV content providers, such as HBO, and stream that content from Amazon Prime Video.
YouTube
Although it has traditionally been (and still is) the largest service for on-demand, user-generated videos, YouTube has been slowly edging its way into the live TV streaming market as well. You can now find hundreds of official on-demand videos from various broadcasters, and a growing amount of live TV, including some sports TV streaming as well.
Outside TV
TV for the outdoorsy folks among us, Outside TV provides both live, user-generated channels, and on-demand content. There are some official live broadcasts as well.
Facebook is also dabbling in the on-demand and live TV market. You can watch a growing list of content through Facebook Watch, right from the app or on your browser. Facebook has also been following the Twitter and YouTube trend by landing some sports-streaming contracts, especially with the MLB.
US on-demand streaming: Niche options
By far the biggest category on our list, niche services allow pretty much anyone to enjoy the exact type of content that they want. Whether you're just looking for British TV or scary movies, there are niche services for just about anything.
Crunchyroll
A fan favorite among the niche streaming crowd, Crunchyroll exemplifies everything there is to be a niche service. You can get hundreds of anime TV shows and films through Crunchyroll for a low monthly cost. The service even provides manga for those who enjoy the original source material for many anime series. Crunchyroll provides subtitled anime almost exclusively.

Funimation Now
The yin to Crunchyroll's yang, Funimation Now is Funimation's streaming service that carries its own licensed content, as well as many other anime films and shows. Funimation Now primarily provides English dubbed content for those fans who prefer not to read subtitles.
VRV
Bringing together a bunch of niche channels together under one roof (including Crunchyroll and Funimation), VRV is a great option for anyone who wants as much content as possible.
HIDIVE
Another anime streaming site available in the US, HIDIVE promises an edgier selection of content, including uncensored anime.
DC Universe
DC Comics launched its own streaming service in 2019. Although the service is currently struggling a bit, it's been well-received by those who have used it. Enjoy content directly from the DC Universe of comics, including DCU movies and new, original shows.
Hi-Yah
Asian action movies and pretty much any other Asian TV show or film worth watching, all in one place? Sign me up for Hi-Yah!
Curiosity Stream
For those who love science, history, technology, and more, Curiosity Stream is a service for learners. It's also available as an Amazon Prime channel. Stay curious!
GuideDoc
This new and interesting service is for documentary fans. You can get a discount on a GuideDoc subscription as well.
Magnolia Selects
A streaming service offering a small selection of top-rated films, Magnolia Selects appears to specialize in hits from across a large variety of genres. Interestingly, you'll also find MMA and boxing replays through the service as well.
Hopster TV
Parents, rejoice! Hopster TV is your one-stop-shop for educational kids programming, without the hassle of having to sift through content that might be questionable or less-than-educational. You'll find popular kids shows such as Thomas the Train Engine, Story Bots, and Reading Rainbow.
Pure Flix
A Christian-themed streaming service, Pure Flix is designed to be family-friendly. No R-rated content here, just grade-A quality movies and TV shows. Pure Flix also has a large number of original TV shows and movies.
Pureflix
Free for 7 days
$10.99/month
Dove Channel
No, this is not a streaming service about soap. Dove Channel is a streaming service offering family-friendly content often with a Christian theme, much like Pure Flix. It's also cheaper than Pure Flix by a large margin.
UP Faith and Family
With hours and hours of Christian-based, family-friendly TV than you can ever watch, UP Faith and Family is in the Pure Flix/Dove Channel niche for those who want good, clean entertainment with a positive and faith-based message.
Blaze TV
The single best streaming service for conservatives, Blaze TV comes in at just $10 per month for both live and on-demand content from popular conservative voices, such as Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, and Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson.
KocawaTV
Even more Korean dramas are offered up through Kocawa TV, including a healthy dose of K-POP.
BroadwayHD
Broadway has finally made its way to the small screen! You can stream your favorite broadway shows and musicals on-demand through the BroadwayHD streaming service. Oklahoma, Les Miserable and more are all available.
BritBox
British TV fans in the US finally have a place to go. The BBC iPlayer may be closed to US streamers, but BritBox steps in to help provide access to hundreds of titles straight from the UK.
Acorn TV
If BritBox isn't enough for you, Acorn TV also serves up British TV to American viewers. Between the two, US fans have more British TV than they can find anywhere outside of the UK.
Turner Classic Movies
For the real movie buffs out there, Turner Classic Movies (formerly FilmStruck) is a must-have. This service focused solely on providing access to top-rated films. No poor-quality content here. Just 2,000+ films to binge night after night.
Fandor
If you're a real movie fan, you should probably take a glance at Fandor. This streaming service has one of the largest top-rated movie libraries of any streaming service available. And it primarily focuses on offering top-rated films and documentaries.
Gaia
Did you know there's a streaming service for yoga? Neither did we. Nevertheless, here it is in all of its downwards dog glory.
Qello
We avoided adding music streaming services to our list, but Qello is not quite a music streaming service. It's a music video streaming service. To that end, this is a great option for those who like to watch live performances.
Revry
Revry is a unique streaming service that provides a platform for the LGBTQ community, specifically. It offers everything from short films to full-length films, podcasts, music videos, and more.
Realeyz
Dedicated to German indie films (and some international options as well), Realeyz is the go-to source for those who don't want anything but fresh new faces and bold ideas.
Mubi
If you're looking for cult classics, independent films, and well-regarded international movies, Mubi is a choice to check out.
Short of the Week
Short of the Week is the best place to find short films on the web, hands down. Whether you want science fiction or cartoon shorts, Short of the Week has a huge list of categories to choose from and a large number of short films to access for free.
Kanopy
In partnership with libraries around the country, Kanopy offers documentaries, classic films, and indie films through its streaming service. All you need is your library card!
Hoopla
Similar to Kanopy, Hoopla allows anyone with a library card to borrow movies, music, eBooks, and more. You'll need to check to make sure your local library participates with Hoopla before signing up.
allblk

You can watch your favorite American Movie Classics through AMC+, a low-cost option that you can only access if you already get AMC through one of your TV providers.

Showtime
Not to be outdone by HBO, Showtime also provides a cable-free option for those who want to get its original content and licensed movies at a low monthly fee. The great thing about Showtime's standalone option is that the service also provides its live sporting events through the app for no additional cost.
Starz
Starz is also on the table for those who want a movie option that has some original content as well. Starz is not as big on the original, however, so it's better served to those who want just movies.

Huajiao

JD Live
JD Live is the primary competitor to Taobao Live. The service operates similarly.

Mango TV
Mango TV is a free, ad-supported service from one of China's largest broadcast networks.

Bilibili
A Youku (and therefore YouTube) competitor, Bilibili is more laser-focused in the type of content you'll find. It offers videos across very defined genres, such as music, science, technology, dance, gaming, and more.
Douyin
This service takes a similar approach to the once-popular Vine. Short videos with filters and special effects make this option unique in the market.
Kuaishou
200 million people access Kuaishou daily. Why? To access its growing library of user-generated videos that take a look at everyday life in China. This service is particularly popular among Chinese citizens outside of the largest cities.

C More
Sweden-based C More may not have the largest library, but it has a strong showing of on-demand and live TV. Additionally, users can sign up to get live sports through the service, as well, making its content variety more expansive than many other services available in Europe.
Via Play
Part of the same media group as C More, Via Play has a larger selection of live TV options. It easily competes with DAZN thanks to its sports contracts that include US-based UFC, NFL, and NHL games, among other Eurozone sports. And of course, the on-demand content is large, with over 4,000 titles.
Moviestar+
It appears American media companies aren't the only ones getting into the "plus" game. Spain-based company Moviestar now offers an on-demand streaming service called Moviestar+. The service offers over 1,600 titles. Uniquely, Moviestar+ subscribers will also get access to the Netflix and Disney+ catalogs.
