Are you using your credit card to pay for your streaming subscriptions? If you have an American Express account, we’ve got good news for you: you can earn additional points, cashback rewards, and other premiums when you use your AMEX card for selected streaming services.

Now, American Express may not cover all services, what with the number of streamers growing every day, but it notably covers a majority of the big ones: included in its rewards programs are Netflix, HBO Max, and Hulu, for example. If you want to know what else is qualified for additional points, we’ve rounded up a list of the best streaming services to subscribe to for more AMEX rewards.

Many streaming services include sports channels in their monthly plans, and sometimes you have to pay extra to access them. While events like the World Series, Super Bowl, Playoffs, and March Madness are all national obsessions, not everyone is an enthusiast that needs to stay glued to tournaments. ESPN+ alone charges $10 a month (or $100 a year)—imagine paying that much for a channel you never really watch. 

And even if you're streaming on a free platform like Fubo, sometimes the barrage of sporting channels just clutter the lineup. So if competitive gaming is not really your thing, we’ve got you covered. Here are the best live TV streaming services without sports that you can check out.

The ever-increasing popularity of streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime has led to the decline of pay TV in the US. Watchers no longer want to be bound to fixed broadcasting schedules, which is why many are cutting the cord and going all-in on the streaming wave. 

The switch is made even easier by having streaming platforms available whenever and wherever you want, but providers have taken it to the next level by offering their services without even requiring you to sign up for an account. All you have to do is access the platform—be it on your desktop, phone, or smart TV—sit back, and enjoy the show. Who doesn’t like that? Here are the best streaming services without registration.

Many TV subscribers pay for channels they don’t even want. For example, did you know that you may have unknowingly been paying for the highly controversial and politically charged Fox News as part of your current subscription? In case you didn't know, some networks like Fox are paid “carriage fees” by cable and streaming platforms in exchange for carrying the network's content. 

In cable TV's case, Fox News charges the most fees among all the channels. Whether they want to or not, viewers pay around $2 a month for having Fox News on their lineup, and that's set to increase to $3 if Fox's deals push through. That means that annually, you might be paying $20-$30 for Fox News alone.

Whether you're "un-foxing" for political or financial reasons, we understand why you'd rather not subsidize the channel. So if you’re looking for the best streaming services without Fox News, we’ve got you covered. 

When streaming services pop up one after the other, it gets harder and trickier to decide which caters best to your needs and preferences, especially when many of them demand considerable commitment. So if you're a casual viewer who enjoys zero-effort streaming, you'll be glad to know the best streaming services you can use without a subscription. 

This usually comes in the form of free services like Tubi, Xumo, and even Roku, which have an impressive array of content ready to be watched—no subscription needed. But you might also find video rentals offered by the likes of Amazon and YouTube pretty handy. Whatever your preferred mode is, rest assured that it is possible to watch your favorite TV shows and movies from popular and premium channels without even having to lift a finger.  

In the past, streaming's main allure was that it was literally on-demand: no pesky ads or previews before episodes. It made bingeing possible, seamless even. But now that prices are rising nonstop, streamers have had to rely on ads to continue operations. You now have to pay more to get rid of commercials. Yet even on an ad-free tier, it still feels impossible to escape them. Hulu and Paramount+ are notoriously packed with ads and promos for their other shows. Amazon Prime and Apple TV+ love to do that too, but to be fair, they make them skippable. So in this list, we're showing you the best streaming services with ad-free plans that are actually, you know, ad-free. This way you're assured you're getting what you paid for.

Gone are the days of niche anime, back when the Japanese cartoon was little-seen and little-known, and therefore had limited avenues of availability for fans. Now, anime is everywhere: in comic bookstores, video games, cinemas, and of course, TV. And as TV makes the jump to streaming, so too, has anime content.

Below, we show you where you can watch your favorite anime films and series. Whether it's the all-time classic Crunchyroll, a staple among anime fans, or Netflix, an all-rounder with an impressive library of dubbed content, you'll find the best options in this list.

Spanish is one of the most spoken languages in the world, so it should come as no surprise that it also tops the most sought-after foreign-language content. Thankfully, as streaming services continue to expand and diversify, many streamers both local and international, live and on-demand, have cropped up to address this need. 

In this list, we round up the best streaming services for Spanish and Spanish-speaking viewers. Some of the live TV options, like Fubo and Sling, offer Spanish channels as add-ons, while on-demand platforms like Peacock and Hulu have a separate, easy-to-navigate section for Spanish titles.

Much has been said about the merits of 4k viewing: with extra pixels packed into the screen, a video in 4k (also known as ultra high-definition or UHD) looks crisper, cleaner, and clearer. If you haven't made the switch already, it's worth considering if you want the ultimate viewing experience. But 4k also comes with its own prerequisites. You have to make sure your internet is fast enough to support such high-definition viewing, and you'll need a compatible device, which usually comes in the form of a smart TV, a streaming device, or a gaming console. The final requirement is, of course, having 4k titles available. 

Enter streaming services. Not all of them offer 4k options, and even then, they might charge 4k viewing at a premium. But there are still plenty to choose from. Netflix and Amazon Prime should still be your go-to when it comes to quantity, while Max comes highly recommended when it comes to quality. For live TV, DirecTV Stream and Fubo (for select events) are reliable services as well. Below is a full round-up of your 4k streaming options.

Everything comes at a price these days, so when entertainment platforms claim to be "completely free," we all know what that really means: ads, and often lots of them. In streaming, this has resulted in the emergence of AVOD or advertising-based video-on-demand platforms. You don't have to pay a single penny to watch a film or TV show on AVOD streamers, but you do have to get used to seeing a commercial pop up just as a climactic scene is about to unfold. 

Tubi, Pluto TV, and Roku are some of the more popular options when it comes to streaming free, but there are plenty more to choose from online. Below, we give you a full rundown of your best options. 

When it comes to quantity, it's pretty hard to beat Netflix. As it partners with local studios and distributors worldwide, the streamer has built an enviable global reach and, consequently, a wide array of diverse titles. But even then, its catalog is still pretty limited.

In Europe, streaming services have been popping up nonstop to address this void. Some, like Portugal's Spamflix, offer the most niche titles in the area, while others like the UK's TrueStory aim to deliver little-heard stories across the world. Below, we list the best of Europe's homegrown streamers.

Maybe it's because of their clever comebacks, their whipsmart dialogues, or their cool demeanor, but there's something about British media that steals your heart. Many of Hollywood's best actors hail from that side of the Atlantic, and so do some of the best films and TV shows of our time. Period dramas, in particular, are quite something else when helmed by the English.

This is why below, we've rounded up the best British streaming services available in the U.S. If you ever have a hankering for all things UK, look no further than the list below.

One of the best things about the new streaming age is that many services, to stand out, specialize in a single thing. There are streamers dedicated solely to classics, reality shows, live TV, and horror films. In this list, we're rounding up the best of the educational streamers. 

Some of them will be kids-focused, like Noggin and Hopster, but most of the services in this list offer quality lessons on topics like history, geography, race, and culture. Unsurprisingly, many also lean on documentary and non-fiction styles of reporting.

Ireland has a fair amount of streaming options to choose from; you don't have to look further than big players like Netflix and Disney+ for a wide array of films and TV shows. But like most areas outside of the US (and thanks to expensive licensing agreements), titles that get to crossover are still pretty limited.

Thankfully, a number of new and local streamers have cropped up to answer those needs. Curzon Home Cinema offers pay-per-view movie releases, while Rakuten TV, if you own one, gives you add-ons like Starz, which boasts a number of popular and American titles. Below, we round up the very best streaming services for Irish viewers.
