How to Activate Your Apple TV+ Free Trial
A free trial lets you watch Apple TV+ shows and movies before paying. Linking a device is free, but you need an active trial or subscription to actually play content. Here is how to start one.
Claim and activate the trial
- Open the Apple TV app on your device and sign in with your Apple ID.
- Look for the trial offer on the Apple TV+ banner or a featured Originals page.
- Select the offer and confirm with your Apple ID. A payment method may be required so billing can begin automatically when the trial ends.
- Note the end date so you can cancel beforehand if you do not want to continue.
- Sign in on your other devices with the same Apple ID and the trial follows you everywhere.
Eligibility varies. New customers and recent Apple device buyers often qualify for the longest trials.
Frequently asked questions
