If you want CNN inside the Prime Video app, you are now covered. You can add CNN All Access inside the platform if you are in the U.S. for $6.99 a month.
The Prime Video version is being offered with a 7-day free trial.
What’s more, it sits inside a bigger subscription system. It already carries services like HBO Max, Peacock Premium Plus, and FOX One.
What you actually get for $6.99
CNN All Access is the paid CNN plan that is known for its 24/7 global news stream. It has live coverage and exclusive videos. Original series, award-winning films, and unlimited CNN articles are also part of it.
CNN launched the service in the U.S. on October 28, 2025. This is its direct-to-consumer news product. It came after the short-lived CNN+ effort in 2022.
All Access is not the same thing as the full live CNN cable channel lineup. CNN separates All Access from the live CNN, CNN International, and HLN feeds that come with a TV-provider login.
So if you subscribe to All Access on its own, you should think of it as CNN’s streaming package, not as a full cable replacement with every linear channel included exactly the same way.
Why Prime Video may be the easier way to get it
The main benefit here is not price. It is convenience. Prime Video subscriptions are designed to let you add extra services. You can then watch them in the Prime Video app, manage them in one place, and cancel anytime.
You do not need to jump between separate apps, and Prime Video runs across thousands of devices.
That is good news if the platform is already where you spend most of your time. In that case, adding CNN All Access feels easier than creating a separate CNN account. You do not need to learn another app or manage a second billing system.
It is also worth noting that Prime Video subscriptions are available to Amazon customers even outside a full Prime membership. So this is not only for standard Prime members.
Also, CNN’s own app has device limits for All Access. Prime Video, by contrast, is built to run broadly across all devices. That makes Prime Video the easier home for a lot of viewers.
Prime Video vs. subscribing directly through CNN
Through CNN directly, All Access is also $6.99 a month, and CNN clearly bundles unlimited articles with the plan. CNN also lists a current first-year annual offer of $41.99, which is much cheaper than paying $6.99 every month for a full year.
Through Prime Video, the version now visible in the U.S. is being sold as a monthly add-on with a 7-day free trial inside Prime Video. The platform is built around watching CNN shows and films inside Prime Video.
