MGM Plus brings you a whole host of content from MGM studios. It’s got great shows, classic movies and live TV. Previously know as EPIX, the catalogue features the likes of "Mean Girls", "Top Gun: Maverick" and movies from the "Mission Impossible" franchise. It also has original series like War of the Worlds, with sci-fi thriller series "Beacon 23" and James Bond’s Spectre on the way.
MGM Plus has a distinctly classic vibe to it and it is competitively priced. It is also available via cable, satellite and Sling. Read on to find out all the ways you can get MGM+, wherever you are.
How to watch MGM Plus in the U.S.
If you're in the USA it couldn't be easier to watch MGM Plus. After a 7-day free trial, it costs $6.99 per month. There is also an annual offer for the reduced price of $58.99, although you do not get the free trial with that plan. At the moment, MGM+ is only available in the US.
Cheapest of all, on a monthly basis, though, is signing up through Sling TV. Unusually, you don't actually have to sign up to one of Sling's base plans. It's just $5 per month for MGM Plus on its own. If you do sign up to either Sling Blue or Orange, you can get your first month of MGM Plus on the house.
Of course, Sling isn't the only cable or cable replacement provider where you can add MGM Plus. That list is long and includes the likes of FuboTV, DirecTV, Philo and more. You can take a look at the full list here.
How to watch MGM abroad
As we said, the full MGM Plus service is only available in the U.S..
If you already have a subscription to MGM Plus, and you're outside of the U.S., the most efficient way of getting access is to use one of the best VPNs to change your location. All you need to do is select a U.S. VPN server, then head over to the MGM Plus site or app as if you were back home. Then sign in with your details, and get watching.
Our top recommendation is NordVPN, thanks to its super simple but powerful apps, excellent unblocking power, and a great number of server locations worldwide. All you need to do is sign up for the service, and then use NordVPN to change location to the USA. You'll then have access to everything on offer.
