Here‘s a Complete Overview of What Channels You Can Get on Amazon Prime Video in 2022

As an experienced Amazon seller, one question I often get from readers is: "What channels are actually available on Amazon Prime Video?"

It‘s a great question. One of the best parts of an Amazon Prime membership is access to Prime Video and its wide selection of shows, movies and specialty channels.

But with new channels being added all the time, it can be hard to keep track of everything that‘s available to stream for just $14.99 a month (or $139 per year).

That‘s why I put together this comprehensive guide breaking down ALL the Prime Video channels available as of 2022. I‘ll walk through each channel, highlight key details like cost and content libraries, and share some pro-tips from my years of selling on Amazon.

So read on to see all of your Amazon Prime Video channel options organized by category!

Featured & Popular Movie Channels

Prime Video has partnerships with major movie studios, networks, and streaming services to offer a robust line-up of commercial-free movie channels.

This table compares some of the most popular Prime Video movie channels available:

For the latest blockbusters, I recommend Showtime, Starz and Epix. AMC+ is a great choice for bingeing popular shows like Mad Men and The Walking Dead. And film buffs will love the deep libraries of indie movies on IFC Films and Magnolia Selects.

Pro Tip: Add and drop these monthly channels as needed to keep your costs down! Subscribe only when there‘s a new release or show you want to watch.

I‘m always looking for educational channels since I have kids at home. CuriosityStream has an amazing library of family-friendly, informative documentaries to enjoy together. And The Great Courses make learning new skills totally accessible.

Horror & Thriller Channels

If you love a late-night scare, Prime Video has you covered with:

• Shudder: Horror movies, TV series like Creepshow, and originals for $4.75/month after 7-day free trial

• Screambox: Independent horror films added weekly for $4.99/month

I‘m not personally a horror buff, but channels like Shudder have huge libraries for the genre. Screambox in particular adds new indie horror flicks each week. Perfect if you‘re looking for fresh scares!

Sports Networks

Don‘t miss a game thanks to Prime Video‘s live sports channels:

• NBA League Pass: Out-of-market live NBA games for $14.99/month

I love having NBA League Pass to follow my home team on the road. And MLB.TV is great for catching baseball action all season long. These sports add-ons give you access way beyond what‘s available over the air or on cable.

International Programming

Cable TV Add-Ons

If you already have cable, you can access many of your channels via Prime Video as well. Available cable channel add-ons include:

• Major networks like A&E, Bravo, CNN, Discovery, Disney, ESPN, Fox, FX, Hallmark, HGTV, History, MTV, Syfy, and more

• Regional sports networks carrying local MLB, NBA, NHL teams

• Local affiliates of ABC, CBS, NBC

By logging into Prime Video, I can stream live and on-demand shows from all my regular cable channels instead of using my provider‘s app – super convenient!

However, Prime Video alone does not offer local broadcast networks like ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC. You would need an OTA antenna or live TV streaming service like Sling for local access.

• Comedy: Comedy Central Now, Buzzr
• Home & Cooking: MotorTrend, Tastemade, Americas Test Kitchen
