Do you own a Fire TV or Fire TV Stick from Amazon? They are great streaming players that let you access a ton of paid content like Paramount+, Hulu, Apple TV+, and more. But they also offer a lot more content 100% free with ads.

Now you likely know of Amazon’s Freevee streaming service as its content is right on the home screen, but what about other great options to stream free movies and TV shows legally?

So today, I am breaking down my top 10 list of the free Fire TV apps and TV shows every cord cutter should have!

Now, this list is in no particular order, and picking just 10 was hard, but here is my top 10 list of my favorite in no particular order.

Pluto TV

Pluto TV has become a leader in the world of free ad-supported content. Owned by Paramount, it has a huge collection of Paramount programming plus content from 3rd parties. You will find 100+ HD channels and over 1,000 movies and TV episodes.

The Roku Channel

Wait, Roku on the Fire TV? Yup, you can watch Roku’s free streaming service, The Roku Channel, on your Fire TV. Not only do you get 100_ live channels and a ton of on-demand movies and TV shows, but you also get original programming like the Weird Al movie that can only be found on The Roku Channel.

Local Now

Originally Local Now only streamed your local weather and news, but now it has added a ton of live channels, movies, and TV shows. Later this year, Local Now will also stream local PBS channels for free.

Tubi

Tubi is now owned by Fox, meaning it has a ton of Fox programming on it. Plus, Tubi has recently struck a deal to bring Warner Bros. Discovery programming to Tubi. Just recently, we have started to see some of this programming, including older HBO Max programs, show up on Tubi. Making this a must-have for many Fire TV owners.

If you just know Plex as a way to manage the media you own, there is so much more to it. Plex now also has a huge free ad-supported streaming service offering a ton of movies and TV Shows. If it has been some time since you tried Plex it may be time to try it again.

Haystack News

If your local channels are not on NewsON, it is probably on Haystack News. With Haystack news, you can watch local news stories, weather, and more but also get national and international news. Making Haystack News a great way to be up to date on what is happening around you in the world.
