Amazon Prime is offering its U.S. subscribers this major free upgrade
December 21, 2025
If you have Amazon Prime Video and you’re an avid viewer of the major news networks, you’re in for a real treat.
While quite a few prices for the major streaming platforms — think Netflix, Apple TV+, Disney+, and HBO Max — have soared lately, Amazon Prime Video just pulled a move that could make it a top contender.
Coming off the heels of its major move this past summer, where it shut down the standalone Freevee app, Amazon has made a free upgrade for its U.S. subscribers.
On Dec. 3, Amazon Prime Video launched a new section that’s specifically focused on news.
This means that subscribers who are in the U.S. have full access to local, national, and global news coverage from leading networks, according to a press release.
“The service aggregates hundreds of 24/7 news channels at no additional cost to viewers, including major linear streams,” the company shared.
The news section will be free by the end of the year. Viewers can smoothly access the section through the top navigation in the Prime Video app. The total selection is set to have over 200 channels by the end of the year.
The streaming app carries nonstop live and on-demand news content, spanning from live local and regional news stations to weather coverage from a host of networks.
The list of available news networks include:
- ABC News Live
- CBS News 24/7
- LiveNOW from Fox
- CNN Headlines
- NBC News NOW
Additionally, anyone can access the news hub as long as they have an Amazon account in the U.S. It doesn’t matter if you have Prime membership or not, and it works on many devices that support the Prime Video app.
