HOW TO STREAM RICK AND MORTY SEASON 8 FOR LESS • Sling TV’s “Blue” plan is the cheapest legal live option at $40/month, and new users often get half off the first month. • Hulu + Live TV bundles Disney+ and ESPN+ at no extra cost, handy if you want all episodes of Solar Opposites or Futurama in the same app. • Cord-cutters can wait for the Max binge drop on September 1; an ad-supported Max tier runs $9.99/month, and annual plans save 17 %. CAN I WATCH RICK AND MORTY FOR FREE? AdultSwim.com streams the most recent episode for a limited time without login, and Max offers seven-day free trials through Amazon Prime Channels and Hulu add-ons several times a year; just remember to cancel before the first billing cycle if you only need the Rick and Morty Season 8 marathon. WHY THIS SEASON MATTERS With 70 episodes ordered back in 2018, Season 8 marks the two-thirds point of Rick and Morty’s historic deal; what happens to Rick, Space Beth and Evil Morty this year sets the stage for the endgame in Seasons 9–10.
