Adult Swim How to live stream Rick and Morty.
Rick and Morty Season 3 is back again tonight with Episode 3 and the long-awaited introduction of Pickle Rick. Fans were ecstatic when the Season 3 premiere was released as a surprise on April 1, and they absolutely loved last week’s Rickmancing the Stone. Tonight, we finally get to see the “Pickle Rick” that we’ve been hearing so much about for months and months, starting at 11:30 p.m. Eastern on Adult Swim. Can’t get to a television or don’t have cable? There’s no reason to feel like life is pain. For details on how to watch Rick and Morty Season 3 Episode 3, Pickle Rick, live online or on a mobile device, check out the streaming options below.
UPDATE: It appears that AdultSwim.com had problems again this week on the live stream, like we feared and noted in the post below. Because of this, some viewers saw a weird fish livestream until Rick and Morty was halfway over. To see the full episode visit AdultSwim.com here. If that has any trouble, then check one of our other options listed below.
Will ‘Rick and Morty’ Be Streamed for Free on AdultSwim.com?
If You Live in the U.S. & Do Not Have Cable
If you’re in the United States and looking to legally watch the show live online, but you do not have access to a cable or satellite pay-TV login, you can watch Rick and Morty via Sling TV. Here’s how to access the stream. (Note: You can only live stream Rick and Morty this way, you can’t watch the episode On Demand via Sling after it’s aired.)
On the Web:
Adult Swim is available through the basic Orange package, which costs $20 per month after the free trial ends.
Here’s how to sign up:
1. Click here to create a Sling account.
2. Select the Orange package, which costs $20 per month after your free trial is over.
3. Enter your billing information and create an account. Again: You will not be charged until after you’ve completed the free 7-day trial.
4. Download the Sling app on your computer, and begin watching the show.

The service’s Orange package, which includes Cartoon Network/Adult Swim, costs $20 per month. But if you’re looking for a way to watch the show for free, you can do so with Sling’s free 7-day trial.

If You Live in the U.S. & Have Access to a Cable or Satellite Login
Adult Swim provides two ways to livestream the show for anyone who has a cable or satellite subscription that includes the channel. (PlayStation Vue service may also count as a cable provider for these options only.) You can watch via Simulcast or On Demand. This may not be available in all countries and typically doesn’t include closed captioning.
(Note: some viewers have complained that these options don’t always work, and the video may just sit and load. You may need to disable browser extensions first. Keep other options available just in case.)
Adult Swim SimulCast:
Viewers in the U.S. with a cable log-in can watch Rick and Morty via livestream. This is Adult Swim’s on-air broadcasting simulcast and you can access it here. You’ll be asked to select your cable service provider first. Then you’ll be asked to sign in and then you’ll be able to watch the episode.
Adult Swim on Demand:
Viewers in the U.S. with a cable log-in can also stream Rick and Morty live via Adult Swim on Demand to watch an episode at any time, even if it’s not live. Got to the Rick and Morty page online where the episodes are playing (here.)
