Rick & Morty is thought-provoking, funny, and even darkly tragic at times, so it’s no wonder that millions of people are tuning into Adult Swim for the latest episodes. But if you’re in Canada, your options are a bit more limited than American viewers, particularly if you don’t want to pay for cable. Still, there are a few good options you can use to watch Rick & Morty without cable in Canada – and we’ll discuss them all in this article from Flixed.
Watch Rick & Morty without cable in Canada on StackTV
StackTV is a streaming service available for all Amazon Prime members in Canada. It offers a wide variety of channels for a reasonable price, and is a great way to watch Adult Swim and Rick & Morty without cable in Canada.
StackTV pricing and packages
StackTV costs $12.99 CAD per month, which gets you a lineup of 16 total channels. The channel lineup is a bit limited, but for this low price, it’s definitely a decent way to watch Rick & Morty without cable in Canada. However, you do need Amazon Prime, Ignite TV, Ignite Streaming, or Fubo to get StackTV, so that’s another cost to keep in mind.
StackTV channels
StackTV has a total of 16 channels. This includes Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, as well as Food Network, HGTV, History, National Geographic, and a few more. It’s mostly focused on entertainment and lifestyle channels.
StackTV supported devices
StackTV supports a lot of different streaming devices, since it’s accessed through Amazon’s Prime Video Channels service. That means that any streaming device supporting Amazon Prime Video will support Stack TV, allowing you to watch Rick & Morty without cable in Canada.
Supported devices include iOS and Android devices, web browsers, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Roku, Apple TV, and a variety of Blu-Ray players and smart TVs, as well as PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles.
StackTV simultaneous streams
StackTV allows you to use up to 3 simultaneous streaming devices at once, which is pretty good, and should be enough for most small-to-medium-sized households. There’s no way to add more streams, though.
StackTV DVR
There’s no way to DVR live content with StackTV, so this may be disappointing if you want to record Rick & Morty without cable in Canada to watch it later. Unfortunately, it does not seem like StackTV will be adding DVR functionality any time soon.
StackTV on-demand library
StackTV usually has the last few episodes of Rick & Morty available, and the same is true of most other shows and channels. However, don’t expect full seasons or back catalogs to be available. You’ll usually only be able to access a few episodes at once, and they rotate frequently.
Watch Rick & Morty without cable in Canada on RiverTV
StackTV isn’t the only way to watch Rick & Morty without cable in Canada. RiverTV is a viable alternative, and is a particularly good choice if you’re not an Amazon Prime subscriber, since you need Amazon Prime to subscribe to StackTV. This is not necessary for RiverTV. Let’s get into the details now.
RiverTV pricing and packages
With RiverTV, you’ll pay $16.99 CAD per month to watch Rick & Morty without cable in Canada. For your money, you’ll get Adult Swim as well as a bunch of other networks. You also have the option of paying additional fees for some add-on channels, like Nick+, Super Channel, and Hollywood Suite, to name just a few. They also offer a week long free trial.
RiverTV channels
Primarily, RiverTV is focused on entertainment and lifestyle channels. It includes Adult Swim, as well as a lot of other top channels from Canada and the US, like History and H2, National Geographic, Smithsonian Channel, Teletoon, Showcase, W Network, Silver Screen and more.
RiverTV supported devices
You can get pretty good overall device support with RiverTV. It supports iOS and Android, web browsers, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and Apple TV, as well as some Roku, Fire TV, and Android TV-powered smart TVs.
RiverTV simultaneous streams
Like StackTV, RiverTV lets you stream on up to 3 devices simultaneously. This means that you’ll usually have no issues when it comes to sharing your account with your family or household.
RiverTV DVR
As of publication time, RiverTV does not offer any kind of DVR, which is a bit disappointing considering that many cable alternatives in the US provide a free, cloud-based DVR as part of your service.
RiverTV on-demand library
When it comes to on-demand content, RiverTV has a lot more to offer than StackTV. It claims to have “thousands” of hours of on-demand content sourced from the various channels that it offers, including recent episodes, past seasons, and a selection of movies. The content lineup rotates a lot, though, so Rick & Morty and other top shows may not always be available.
How to watch Rick & Morty in Canada on Amazon Fire TV
You can watch Rick & Morty in Canada on Amazon Fire TV using StackTV or RiverTV. First, just sign up for the service of your choice. Amazon Fire TV supports StackTV natively, but you’ll need to download the RiverTV app from the Amazon App Store.
How to watch Rick & Morty in Canada on Roku
You can watch Rick & Morty in Canada on Roku using StackTV or RiverTV. To get started, jus install the Amazon Prime Video or RiverTV channel from the Roku Channel Store. Then, just sign in and start watching right away.
How to watch Rick & Morty in Canada on Apple TV
You can watch Rick & Morty in Canada on Apple TV using StackTV or RiverTV. Once you’ve signed up, download the Amazon Prime Video app or RiverTV app to your Apple TV from the App Store, then sign in and enjoy.
Watch Rick & Morty without cable on Max or Hulu
Hulu and Max both allow you to watch Rick & Morty on-demand in the US. But in Canada, neither of these services are available. However, if you sign up for a VPN (Virtual Private Network) service like ExpressVPN, you may be able to sign up for these services in Canada.
With a VPN, you can “spoof” your location to make it look like you’re in the US. Then, using some service-specific workarounds, you can sign up for Hulu or Max, and enjoy a huge amount of streaming content.
This is a great way to watch Rick & Morty on-demand in Canada, since both Hulu and Max have every episode of every season of this popular animated show. To learn more, check out these guides from Flixed:
Watch Rick & Morty without cable in Canada for free online
Your final option for watching Rick & Morty without cable is to watch it for free online on Adult Swim. Adult Swim offers a 24/7 Rick & Morty stream for Canada. There are no commercials, just brief intermissions.
The only issue is that you can’t choose which episode to watch. The entire series plays front-to-back, so you can’t choose between Rick & Morty season 1 or Rick & Morty season 4, for example. If you want to watch a specific season or episode, this will definitely be problematic. But hey, at least it’s free!
