How to livestream the mid-season finale. (AMC)
The midseason finale of The Walking Dead airs tonight, with The Talking Dead airing immediately following the show. Last week was a huge episode for character development, as we saw Carl finally confront Negan. Then the episode ended with a chilling shot of Negan trying to take Rick’s place. If you don’t want to be spoiled for tonight’s episode, then you may want to watch the show live, starting at 9 p.m. Eastern on AMC. This is an extra long episode, airing for an additional 30 minutes tonight. If you’d like to watch episode 8, “Hearts Still Beating,” as it airs and you need to watch it on your computer, phone, or tablet, read on for instructions below. There are options for people with or without cable.
If You’re in the United States & You Don’t Have a Cable or Satellite Subscription That Includes AMC
On the Web:
Users without a cable subscription can watch episode 8 — and all other AMC programming — through Sling TV, an online streaming service that provides access to a handful of channels for a monthly fee. The service’s Best of Live TV Package, which includes AMC, costs $20 per month. But you can watch a week’s worth of AMC for free via Sling’s free 7-day trial.
To sign up for Sling’s trial using a credit card, follow these steps:
1. Click here to sign up for Sling TV. You’ll need to enter your credit card information when signing up, but if you cancel your subscription before the trial period ends, you will not be charged.
2. When you sign up, you’ll be prompted to select Sling’s standard Best of Live TV package, which costs $20 per month. You’ll also have the option to add extra packages, all of which come with a monthly fee but are included in the free trial. But if you’re primarily interested in watching the sixth episode, all you need is the standard Best of Live TV package.
3. Download the Sling desktop app, and navigate over to AMC to watch the eighth episode.
With an App:
Users with a subscription to Sling TV can watch it on the Sling app, which you can download for free in the App store or the Google Play store. There’s also a Sling app for Roku, Chromecast, Nexus player, ZTE and XBox One. Click here for a full list of compatible devices. Click here to sign up for Sling TV. You’ll need to enter your credit card information when signing up, but if you cancel your subscription before the 7-day trial period ends, you will not be charged.
If You Have a Cable Subscription That Includes AMC
On the Web:
If you have a cable or satellite subscription that includes AMC, you can watch the eighth episode for free, at this link. You’ll have to sign in to watch the full episodes as they air. First you have to choose your cable provider, then you’ll be asked to do an in-home validation. For some, the validation will sign you in automatically if it detects your network. Others may need to create an account and use their cable username and password to complete the process.
How to Watch Tomorrow on Mobile or Online
You can also watch the episode on mobile or online after the episode airs. The episode will be available the day after it airs in a variety of formats. (Sometimes, the episode is released earlier than this.) You can find the episode On Demand or on AMC.com here. If you don’t have a cable subscription, you can still watch the episode by purchasing the finale on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and Xbox.
On mobile, you can watch the eighth episode via a number of AMC apps on iOS, Android, and Windows. These apps require a cable login to watch anything but a show premiere.
