Want free TV channels and films without a subscription? Pluto TV streams live channels and on-demand movies and shows on a Windows PC. Choose a live channel to watch as it airs, or browse the on-demand catalog and start a title with the playback controls.
Browse live channels
Open Live TV to browse channels and pick a program already in progress. Pluto TV carries live news, sports, and entertainment, with channels organized around different kinds of viewing. The lineup includes an “On Now” indicator, so viewers can see what is currently playing before selecting a channel.
Pluto TV streams through a web browser, and no account is needed to start watching. Playback controls let viewers manage the stream while they watch.
Choose a movie or show
The on-demand catalog includes full-length movies and series. Browse by type of entertainment, with options such as comedies, thrillers, reality shows, documentaries, and horror. Select a title to watch it on demand instead of tuning in to a live channel.
