Activate AMC on Apple TV, Android TV, Roku and Firestick

Activating AMC on Apple TV, Android TV, Roku, or Firestick lets you watch AMC’s on-demand shows and live channel through the official app. You need to link each device to your AMC account to make sure your subscription is active for streaming. This step is needed even if you already get AMC through cable or another streaming service.

Activating AMC on a Streaming DeviceBefore starting, keep in mind that not every streaming device supports AMC. Here’s a list of devices compatible with AMC streaming:

• Roku
• Amazon Fire TV
• Apple TV
• Android TV
• iOS and Android phones
• Certain Smart TV OSs (Samsung’s Tizen, LG’s webOS)

If you’re unsure about how to activate AMC on your streaming device, don’t worry. Below, you’ll find simple, step-by-step guides for each supported platform.

Just follow the directions for your device.

3. Once installed, open the AMC app and let it finish starting up.
4. When the app is ready, select Account from the menu on the left side.
5. Soon, an activation screen will appear—make a note of the activation code shown here.

   

6. Next, open a browser on your desktop or mobile device and visit amc.com/activate.
7. On the Activate Your Device page, enter the Activation code from Step 5 and click Submit.

   

8. Follow the on-screen instructions to log in with your AMC account credentials.
   Note: If you have AMC access through a TV provider, you may need to complete an extra step by signing in with your TV provider account.

2. How to Activate AMC on Roku

   Note: If the AMC app doesn’t accept the code during activation on Roku, it could be due to issues with your network, especially if you’re using a Spectrum internet connection. If so, try contacting Spectrum support for help. One workaround is to connect your Roku to a mobile hotspot to finish activation, and then switch back to your regular internet connection afterward.
