How To Watch AXS TV without Cable

AXS TV is the home of Impact Wrestling and The Big Interview With Dan Rather, but the network also airs live music programming, entertainment, and combat sports—including mixed martial arts and professional wrestling. If you’re looking for a way to watch AXS TV, you can find the channel on any of the following streaming services, Philo, DIRECTV STREAM, and Sling TV.

AXS TV is on Philo

The most affordable way to stream AXS TV is through Philo. Philo is a streaming service that offers AXS TV and many other top TV networks typically found on cable TV for just $25 per month.

You can watch AXS TV and other channels through Philo on up to three devices at the same time. They even include a cloud DVR so you can record your favorite AXS TV TV shows.

Sign Up For A Free Trial to Philo

Philo is currently supported on Mac and PC on a web browser, Apple iPhone and iPad (running iOS 9 or newer), Android phones and tablets (running 5.0 or later), Fire TV, Apple TV, and Roku.

The service offers a 1-week free trial to test the service. You can sign up for the free trial to Philo HERE. If you cancel before the trial expires, you won’t be billed. For more details on the streaming service, please check out our review of Philo. 

AXS TV on Sling TV

Sling TV has two channel-plans starting at $40 per month, Sling Blue and Sling Orange. AXS TV is available on both plans. We feel the Sling Blue plan is the better option if you are interested in AXS due to the additional features, like the ability to stream to 3 devices simultaneously. Sling TV also offers  deals for signing up.

All Sling TV Channel options work on Windows and Mac PCs and laptops, Android and iOS devices, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Nexus player, Xbox One, and 4th Generation Apple TV.

AXS TV on DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV STREAM is another way you can watch AXS TV. Channel packages with AXS TV start at $74.99 per month. A subscription to DIRECTV STREAM includes the following:

• watch 20 streams simultaneously per subscription

• supported on Apple TV, Android TV, Roku, Amazon FireTV, and more

You can check out this streaming service through this online offer or read about it in our DIRECTV STREAM review.

Watch AXS TV for Free

Philo carries AXS TV and offer a free trial.

• Philo – Offer a 1-week free trial
• DIRECTV STREAM – Offers a 5-day trial

As long as you cancel before the free trial expires, you won’t be charged. You can cycle the free trials to get a few weeks of AXS TV free. If you get creative with email addresses and payment methods, you could watch free AXS TV even longer. Doing this would also let you test out the various live TV streaming services to see which one you like the best. There is also a lot of free content available through the AXS TV app, which we cover a little later in this article.
