How to Watch Lifetime for Free
You can watch Lifetime for free when you subscribe to a free trial to streamers such as Philo and DirecTV. Both have affordable streaming plans and a free trial for up to a week, but Philo is the cheaper among the two.
Philo is free for the first week, and $25 per month after the free trial ends. The streaming package includes 90+ channels: Lifetime, LMN, Logo, AMC, A&E, ID Network, HGTV, WEtv, BET, CMT, VH1, MTV, Paramount Network, Nickelodeon, OWN and other channels.
DirecTV Stream is good for streaming live TV on a budget. With local channels in addition to cable networks such as CNN, MTV, BET, AMC, A&E, Paramount Network, Logo, ID, WEtv, OWN, FX, CMT, VH1, Bravo, Nickelodeon, E!, ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, HGTV, MSNBC, Hallmark Channel and several other channels, DirecTV’s streaming plans start at $69.99 per month (when you add the Sports Pack).
The Dance Moms reunion will be available to stream MyLifetime.com beginning on Thursday, but you’ll need to log-in through your cable, streaming or satellite provider to watch.
Directly after the reunion, Lifetime will debut a new compilation show, Dance Moms: Epic Showdowns, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The weekly series, hosted by Christi Lukasiak, will showcase the most “explosive dance battles and jaw-dropping meltdowns from the series” including the moms and dance teacher Abby Lee Miller.
On Monday, the cast of Dance Moms stopped by Good Morning America to talk about the special and their time on the show. “The first word that comes up is legendary,” Siwa said of being on the show. “I feel like everyone on here has had some sort of legendary experience with Dance Moms.”
Centered around Miller’s dance company and a team of young dancers (and their mothers), the Lifetime reality series premiered in 2011 and aired for eight seasons.
