Game of Thrones Season 8 premieres tonight. Want to make sure you watch the episodes live? Amazon Prime has you covered with Amazon Channels.

It’s finally time to begin the end of Game of Thrones. The Season 8 premiere airs tonight and you know you want to make sure you watch it live. You can do so with Amazon Prime, but you’ll need an Amazon Channels subscription first.

Game of Thrones Season 8 airs on HBO. Each Sunday for the next six weeks, there will be a new episode that wraps up the story that began way back in 2011. To be able to watch with your Prime membership, you’ll need to sign up for HBO through Amazon Channels, which is available for $14.99.

You’ll sign up to HBO Now. This will give you access to absolutely everything that is available through the subscription, including the new episodes of GoT. Each episode should be available at 9/8c, making sure you can watch it at the same time as those who have the HBO channel through their TV subscription.

Game of Thrones Season 8 will run for 54 minutes and is the shortest of the lot. The Great War is now in Westeros after the Night King destroyed the Wall. It’s up to the Noble families to put their differences aside and join together to fight for the living.

We know that many of the families have joined Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen in the fight, but what about the Lannisters? Jaime is on his way to Winterfell, leaving Cersei behind to fight for the living. Who will live and who will die? It’s time to find out tonight in the first episode of six.

If you’re in Canada, you can sign up to HBO through Crave, as you would Amazon Channels. In the UK, you’ll need a Now TV subscription. You’ll want to check other options for your specific countries.

The episodes will be available to purchase through Amazon Video after the season airs in full.

Game of Thrones airs Sundays at 8/7c on HBO.
