Amazon Prime Video Subscription Deals Slash Channel Prices to 99 Cents
Amazon's early Prime Day 2026 deals offer 20+ Prime Video Channels at just $0.99/month for 2 months. Here's every channel deal, how to subscribe on Firestick, and how to cancel before the full price kicks in.
I’ve been using Fire TV devices since the original Chromecast-to-FireStick pivot in 2017, and Amazon’s channel bundling has always been a love-hate relationship — convenient when it works, quietly expensive when you forget to cancel. But this June 2026 promotion caught my attention: 20+ streaming channels for $0.99/month for two months as part of early Prime Day deals. That’s not a typo.
If you’re already paying for Prime (or thinking about it), these add-ons essentially let you test-drive premium channels without committing to $10-15/month right away. I spent an afternoon on my Firestick 4K Max going through every step — subscribing, navigating, and yes, canceling before the meter runs out. Here’s what you need to know.
Amazon is offering 20+ Prime Video Channels at $0.99/month for 2 months as part of early Prime Day 2026 (June 23-26). Subscribe through the Prime Video app on Firestick, and the channel appears inside Prime Video without needing a separate app. Cancel before the second month ends to avoid regular pricing — typically $4.99-$11.99/month depending on the channel.
What I Tested For
Before diving into the deals, I wanted to answer three practical questions:
- Which channels are actually included in the $0.99 promotion? (Spoiler: more than I expected)
- How smooth is the Firestick subscription flow? (Amazon’s checkout UX on Fire TV can be… interesting)
- Where do you actually cancel before getting charged full price? (This is where most people get burned)
I tested on a Firestick 4K Max running Fire OS 7.6, using a 500 Mbps connection. All 20+ channels I checked were accessible within the Prime Video interface after subscribing — no separate app downloads required in most cases.
| Channel | Promo Price | Regular Price | After Promo | 2-Mo Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
🏆  Paramount+ | $0.99/mo | $5.99/mo | $11.99/mo | $22.00 |
| MGM+ | $0.99/mo | $5.99/mo | $9.99/mo | $20.00 |
| Starz | $0.99/mo | $3.99/mo | $9.99/mo | $18.00 |
| AMC+ | $0.99/mo | $4.99/mo | $8.99/mo | $16.00 |
| Hallmark+ | $0.99/mo | $3.99/mo | $7.99/mo | $14.00 |
| BritBox | $0.99/mo | $4.99/mo | $9.99/mo | $18.00 |
 Apple TV | $5.99/mo | $9.99/mo | $9.99/mo | $8.00 |
| PBS Masterpiece | $0.99/mo | $3.99/mo | $8.99/mo | $16.00 |
| BBC Select | $0.99/mo | $4.99/mo | $7.99/mo | $14.00 |
| Lifetime Movie Club | $0.99/mo | $3.99/mo | $6.99/mo | $12.00 |
The Channels Worth Your $0.99
Not all channel deals are created equal. Some are absolute no-brainers at this price; others are fine if you were already considering them. Here’s my honest breakdown:
The Standouts
Paramount+ is the obvious headliner. At $0.99 for two months (then $11.99/month), you’re essentially getting Paramount+ Essential ad-supported for the price of a fancy coffee. CBS Sports, Paramount+ originals, NFL on CBS — this is the deal I’d grab even if I already had the channel. Just cancel before month two.
Starz drops to $0.99/month, which is remarkable given their library. If you haven’t caught Outlander, Power, or the Spartacus series, this two-month window is your moment. Cancel before the $9.99/month price kicks in.
AMC+ at $0.99 gives you access to AMC, BBC America, IFC, and Sundance Now content. If you’re a horror fan, this covers Shudder content (and Shudder itself is $5.99/month standalone — so you’re saving $8 over two months).
The Solid Options
MGM+ has quietly built a decent library with MGM’s film catalog, live sports (PGA Tour, boxing), and some originals. Worth the $0.99 trial if you’ve been curious.
Apple TV is the outlier — it drops to $5.99/month (not $0.99), but that’s still $4 off the regular $9.99/month price. If you’ve been meaning to watch Slow Horses, Severance, or The Morning Show, this is the cheapest Apple TV+ deal I’ve seen bundled in a Prime promotion.
How to Subscribe on Firestick
The process is straightforward, but Amazon’s Fire TV interface can bury the subscription option if you don’t know where to look. Here’s the exact path:
Subscribe to a Prime Video Channel on Firestick
4 stepsOpen Prime Video
Press the Home button on your Firestick remote, then scroll up and select Prime Video. If you don’t see it, press and hold the Home button, select Apps, and find Prime Video there.
Find the Channel
Use the search icon (top right) or scroll down to Prime Video Channels. You can also say “Find [Channel Name]” if your remote has a microphone button. For example: “Find Paramount+” or “Find Starz.”
Select the Channel
When the channel page appears, look for the $0.99 for 2 months badge — it’s usually prominent, but if you’re on an older Firestick, it might be smaller. Select the channel, then hit Subscribe or Start Your Free Trial (even without “free trial” language, the promo applies).
Confirm Your Subscription
Amazon will prompt you to confirm. Make sure the price shown is $0.99 before confirming. If it shows the regular price, the promo may not have applied — go back and try again or check if the channel is included in your region.
Where to Cancel Before Getting Charged
This is the part Amazon makes unnecessarily complicated. You can’t cancel directly from the Prime Video app on Fire TV — you need to go through your Amazon account settings.
Cancel a Prime Video Channel Subscription
4 stepsOpen Prime Video on Fire TV
Launch the Prime Video app and go to your Account section (the profile icon or “My Stuff” tab).
Access Your Subscriptions
Scroll down to Subscribed Channels or Manage Subscriptions. This shows all your active channel subscriptions through Amazon.
Select the Channel to Cancel
Find the channel you want to cancel and select it. You’ll see the current subscription status and next billing date.
Cancel Through Amazon.com
Amazon typically redirects you to amazon.com/gp/primecentral or requires account access on a browser. Log into your Amazon account, go to Account & Lists → Memberships & Subscriptions → find the channel → Cancel Subscription. Confirm the cancellation — you keep access until the end of the current billing period.
The Real Cost of “Keeping” These Channels
Let’s do the math on what happens if you forget to cancel:
| Channel | 2-Month Promo | Regular Monthly | Annual at Regular | What You’d Actually Pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paramount+ | $1.98 | $11.99 | $143.88 | $145.86 if you forget |
| Starz | $1.98 | $9.99 | $119.88 | $121.86 if you forget |
| AMC+ | $1.98 | $8.99 | $107.88 | $109.86 if you forget |
One forgotten cancel costs you more than a full year of the promo would have saved. That’s the trap — Amazon knows most people will forget.
Alternatives to Prime Video Channels
If you want these services long-term, direct subscriptions might actually be cheaper — or at least give you more control over billing.
✓ Pros
- Subscribe directly for cleaner billing and easier cancellations
- Many services offer their own promos and annual discounts
- Standalone apps often have better Fire TV interfaces
- No risk of auto-renewing at full price after a trial
✕ Cons
- You lose the convenience of everything in Prime Video
- Have to manage multiple logins and apps
- May miss out on bundled Prime perks
- Direct promos are usually not as aggressive as Amazon's current deal
For most people, the $0.99 promo is worth it — but only if you treat it like a two-month rental, not a subscription. Subscribe, binge, cancel.
What About Standalone Apps?
Some channels (like Paramount+ and Starz) also have their own standalone apps on the Fire TV App Store. Here’s when to use each:
Use the Prime Video Channel add-on when:
- You want the $0.99 promo price
- You prefer having everything in one app
- You’re already subscribed to other Prime channels
Download the standalone app when:
- You want a better interface (Paramount+‘s standalone app is noticeably smoother than the Prime add-on)
- You’re subscribing long-term and don’t need the Amazon billing
- You want parental controls or profile features that the Prime add-on doesn’t support
What About Fire TV Device Deals?
Amazon’s early Prime Day isn’t just about channel subscriptions — there’s also hardware on sale. If you’ve been putting off a new Firestick, this is worth checking:
- Fire TV Stick 4K Max: Discounted as part of Prime Day hardware deals
- Fire TV Cube: Often $20-$30 off during Prime Day
- Fire TV Soundbar: Bundled deals available

→These hardware deals run through the Prime Day window (June 23-26, 2026) and are separate from the channel promos.
The Bottom Line
Amazon’s $0.99/month channel deals are genuine value — if you’re intentional about them. Paramount+ and Starz alone are worth the $1.98 total for two months. The rest are bonuses if you have time to browse their libraries.
The strategy is simple: subscribe to everything interesting, set a reminder to cancel, and actually cancel. Don’t let Amazon quietly convert you to a $15/month streaming habit.
If you’re setting up a new Firestick anyway, this is the perfect time to stock your channel lineup without committing to anything long-term.
