It's been way too long since new episodes of Rick and Morty have aired, but thankfully, Adult Swim is set to premiere new episodes starting this weekend! Beginning Sunday, June 20, Rick and Morty returns with a batch of new episodes you'll truly have to see to believe. It's easy enough to turn Adult Swim on as it goes live if you already receive Cartoon Network on your TV at home, but if not, you might be wondering how best to watch the episodes as they air. That's why we've created the guide below.

There are a number of ways to stream Rick and Morty when it airs live, though our favorite is easily Sling TV. Both of its main plans, Sling Orange and Sling Blue, offer access to Cartoon Network so you can watch each new episode as it premieres. Sling TV is one of the most affordable live TV streaming services out there at $30 per month, and there's even an offer to consider that could let you start your first month at Sling for only $10!

Rick and Morty Season 5: When & where

Rick and Morty returns to Adult Swim on Sunday, June 20 at 11pm ET. Season 5 is said to consist of 10 episodes, though it's left to be seen whether there will be a long break in the season as there was during Season 4. You can catch Adult Swim anywhere you watch Cartoon Network. If you don't have access to Cartoon Network on your TV at home, Sling TV is the best streaming service for the job.

Both of Sling TV's main plans include Cartoon Network so you can watch Rick and Morty live, including Sling Orange and Sling Blue. Right now, new subscribers at Sling can score their first month of live TV streaming for only $10! The service normally costs just $35 per month.

How to watch Rick and Morty live from anywhere

How to watch Rick and Morty Season 5 without cable

There are actually quite a few options for watching Rick and Morty Season 5 live this year. It will stream on services like Hulu with Live TV and Fubo TV, as well as on Sling TV and the Adult Swim website. Whether you've cut the cord already or still have cable, there are plenty of ways to watch the show as it airs live. Sling is definitely the most affordable, but Hulu with Live TV certainly has its perks and even more channels to watch.

Hulu with Live TV may not be as affordable as Sling, but rather than split into two separate plans, you get access to all of Hulu's live TV channels for one singular monthly cost. You'll also find it available on a few more devices than Sling TV, such as the Nintendo Switch.

How to watch Rick and Morty in the U.K.

UK viewers will only have to wait a day after U.S. audiences to watch new episodes of Rick and Morty. It's been announced that the show is returning to E4 on Monday, June 21 at 10pm BST. That means you'll be able to watch live on the Channel4 website, though if you don't want to wait until after others have seen the show, a VPN could help you see it when it airs in the United States.

Stream Rick and Morty in Canada

The show can be a bit harder to find available on streaming services in Canada, though you will be able to catch it airing on Adult Swim at the same time that it airs in the US on June 20. If you don't have Cartoon Network available on your TV at home, trying a VPN with one of the sites above is a potential option as well.

How to watch older Rick and Morty seasons

The best way to watch older Rick and Morty seasons is with an HBO Max subscription. HBO Max has all four previous seasons of the show available to watch with a subscription, though you likely won't find season 5 premiering on the service for several more months.
