How to watch Rick and Morty online: Stream season 4 for free

Laura Kern
By

Loyal fans of Rick and Morty? Parents currently over-exposed to youth-targeted at-home programming? Animation lovers just looking to unwind with some raunchy, late-night content? There are many camps of TV watcher likely delighted that the popular series is in the process of unspooling its fourth season, supplying some hilariously twisted weekly comic relief. The new season of the series airs Sundays at 11:30 p.m. ET through May 31. And, as is the case with many TV series still in the midst of their latest season’s runs, the simplest way to watch Rick and Morty online is through one of the various live-streaming TV options.

Season 4 carries on the adventures of Rick Sanchez, a mad-scientist type, partly inspired by Back to the Future’s Doc Brown — and an alcoholic and seriously bad role model to boot — who takes his nerdy teenage grandson, Morty Smith, and occasionally Morty’s sister, Summer, on some wacky, sci-fi-inflected adventures. (And there’s no question that leaving home and time-traveling seem especially appealing right now!)

The show’s three previous seasons (31 episodes, each running from 21-24 minutes sans ads) can be enjoyed by Hulu subscribers now, but to keep totally up to date with season 4, and not have to wait until late October or early November when it’s scheduled to be added to the Hulu library, they’d also need the Live TV feature. A one-week free trial for that service is perpetually available, but it would cost $55 per month to continue on after that.

Other Live TV options for watching Rick and Morty online include Sling TV, FuboTV, and AT&T TV Now, formerly DirecTV Now. Of those, first-time subscribers can sign up for a free seven days at Fubo and AT&T TV NOW, and following that period, both have assorted rate packages to choose from starting at $50.

Adult Swim, the mature-viewing arm of Cartoon Network that has broadcast Rick and Morty since the show’s start in 2013, is running a free, continual live stream on their website, but who really wants to watch a show in random order? Better news is that the first five episodes of Season 4, with ads, can be viewed chronologically and for free. Episodes 6 and 7 remain locked at the moment but can be accessed by cable users who can sign in with their subscriber login info.

There are still 60 future episodes promised for the series, but, for now, all shows to date can also be purchased by the episode or the season via Amazon Prime Video and Vudu in standard or high definition.

March Madness 2024: how to watch the 2024 NCAA First Four live stream
Logo for the NCAA First Four.

After a polarizing Selection Sunday, the field for the 2024 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship is set. Sixty-eight teams will compete for a chance to make the Final Four in Phoenix and win a national championship. Before the First Round begins on March 21, eight teams will head to Dayton for the 2024 NCAA First Four.

Four games will be played across two nights to reduce the field from 68 to 64. Think of these games as the play-in round, similar to the NBA's Play-In Tournament. The eight teams competing in the First Four are Wagner, Howard, Colorado State, Virginia, Grambling State, Montana State, Colorado, and Boise State.

Oscars live stream: Watch the 96th Academy Awards for free
A woman dances with a guy in Barbie.

The best films of 2023 will be honored at the 2024 Oscars. Also known as the 96th Academy Awards, the 2024 Oscars will feature some of the biggest and brightest stars Hollywood has to offer, including Margot Robbie, Robert Downey Jr., Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Lily Gladstone, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and more. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will award Oscars in 23 categories, with the top prize being Best Picture. Jimmy Kimmel returns to host for the fourth time.

Oppenheimer leads the field with 13 nominations, followed by Poor Things with 11, Killers of the Flower Moon with 10, and Barbie with eight. Can Oppenheimer complete its dominant awards season run with a Best Picture prize, or can The Zone of Interest or Poor Things pull off the improbable upset?
What channel is the Oscars on?
The 2024 Oscars will air on ABC starting at a new time of 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Sunday, March 10. This is a significant change from the regular 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT start time. However, ABC has decided to start the Oscars at 7 p.m. ET so it can air a new episode of Abbott Elementary upon the ceremony's completion at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT. This strategy is similar to how the network airing the Super Bowl airs an episode of television following the Big Game.

The 75th F1 World Championship is being aired for free in Austria and Luxembourg. This is great news for those in the countries, but not so great for residents traveling abroad who want to watch the action unfold live in their local language -- especially when it's free to watch at home. It's only fitting that an Austrian currently in the United States would want to watch the race in Austrian and not English, right? This is completely safe (and legal) to do with a VPN.
