Don’t look now, but Lifetime is having a resurgence.
Yes, the television channel that was once home to cheesy Christmas movies and over-the-top shows is now delivering some seriously must-watch programming. From a Taylor Swift-inspired Christmas movie last year to a controversial Wendy Williams documentary, Lifetime has now become a destination for buzzed-about films, shows and specials that span music and pop culture interests.
Many musicians are now also flexing their acting chops in Lifetime movies, like Glee star Amber Riley in the Single Black Female trilogy, while Mary J. Blige, Lisa Lisa and Gloria Gaynor are featured in Lifetime’s 2025 “Voices of a Lifetime” series. And yes, we still love watching those Lifetime Christmas movies too.
Lifetime is available as a channel in most cable packages so you can watch Lifetime on TV through your cable provider. While many people have cut the cable cord, there are still ways to watch Lifetime (and Lifetime movies) online. Here’s what you need to know.
How to Watch Lifetime Channel Online Without Cable
The best way to watch Lifetime channel live online without cable is by using a live TV streaming service, like DirecTV or Philo. Both offer a live Lifetime feed so you can watch whatever is airing on TV but from your computer, phone or tablet (and from your smart TV too).
We like Philo, which costs just $28/month for more than 70 live television channels, including Lifetime, AMC, BET, MTV, TLC, VH1 and more. Philo also includes access to the Lifetime Movie Network for even more content options. Test out Philo with a seven-day free trial here to stream Lifetime online for free.
We also like DirecTV, which is the most comprehensive live TV streamer on our list. DirecTV’s base entertainment package includes 90+ live TV channels, including Lifetime. You also get access to Bravo, E!, ESPN, MTV and more, plus most local networks like ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX.
DirecTV plans start at $84.99/month but you can test drive the service with a five-day free trial here.
Your most affordable way to stream Lifetime movies live online is through frndly TV. One of the newer streaming services to hit the market, frndly’s plans start at just $6.99/month for 50+ channels. Their channel lineup includes Lifetime, Hallmark Channel, Great American Family, ION and more. Even better: get a seven-day free trial here and use it to watch Lifetime online free.
How to Watch Lifetime Movies On-Demand Online
The live streaming services above will let you watch the Lifetime channel live online, but what if you wanted to find a favorite Lifetime movie to watch on-demand? Luckily, the same streaming services listed in the previous section will let you watch movies and specials on-demand on the Lifetime website.
Simply create a profile on the MyLifetime.com website and enter your cable provider details. Don’t have cable? You can enter your DirecTV and Philo details too to get access to all the content on Lifetime’s official site.
Another way to watch Lifetime movies on-demand? You can also sign up for Lifetime Movie Club, which has thousands of titles available to watch online. Regularly $4.99/month, Amazon Prime members can get a seven-day free trial here to watch Lifetime Movie Club online free. One of the best parts of Lifetime Movie Club is the ability to stream the movies ad-free.
Not a Prime member? Use this generous 30-day free trial to get access to the Lifetime Movie Club in addition to all the other Prime member perks, like free shipping, Prime Day deals and more.
Select Lifetime movies are also available to rent or download through Prime Video. See full details here.
