4 Best Services to Get a IFC Free Trial

cord-cutting • March 9, 2023 • Staff

You can watch IFC with a free trial on Philo, Fubo TV, Fubo TV Elite or YouTube TV.

Previously known as the Independent Film Channel, IFC originally started as a niche section in the TV market that aired small but critically acclaimed indie films. Gradually, it expanded its programming to smart comedies and horror shows. Cult favorites Portlandia, The Kids in the Hall, and Documentary Now!, as well as horror-comedy fusions like Stan Against Evil and The Grid all got their start in IFC. Aside from its originals, IFC also broadcasts acquired titles like Everybody Loves Raymond, Three's Company, and Kevin Can F**k Himself.

You can catch these IFC shows using a free trial from streamers like Philo, Fubo, and YouTube TV. All the streaming services listed below are the best places to trial-watch IFC free of charge.

IFC on Philo

Nothing beats the price: $25 is really cheap, one of the cheapest ways out there to get Live TV. And the fact that you get unlimited DVR -if you care about that kind of stuff- on top of that is kind of crazy. Just as a comparison, Youtube TV offers unlimited DVR but it costs three times as much.

IFC on YouTube TV

Youtube TV boasts a wide offering of almost every major channel, unlimited DVR, six accounts, and up to three simultaneous streams. It's the perfect option for families. The cost is a little steep, and there are cheaper options out there, but with a great interface (Live TV services are not known to always have the most intuitive interfaces) and wide availability across devices, it's fair to say that you'll get your dollar's worth.
