How to watch Rick and Morty season 6 online for free from anywhere

Strap on your mad scientist brain, equip your existential dread and prepare your knowledge of pop culture - everyone's favorite animated drunk genius granddad and puberty-fighting grandson combo are back. Keep reading as we explain how to watch Rick and Morty season 6 online from anywhere.

After five seasons, you would think that Dan Harmon and his team were running out of sci-fi tropes to parody, and yet, this latest season seems just as jam-packed as its predecessors.

If you cast your mind back to the distant world of 2021, you'll remember that Rick and Morty season five left on somewhat of a cliff-hanger. In fact, the season ended with a two-part finale with detailed backstory, plot twists and a surprising amount of lore.

The previous season left us with a big reveal: a barrier that blocks off every universe where Rick wasn't the smartest man alive. As the finale ended, the barrier was broken, leaking in a whole host of new worlds and possible enemies for Rick... That's right, it is yet another show about multiverses.

How much the show will explore this new reality for Rick is yet to be seen, but it does open up the opportunity for a different approach from the show, delving deep into Rick's past and future.

Read on for a full breakdown of how to watch Rick and Morty season six from a host of different countries, with a number of free and paid options.

How to watch Rick and Morty online in the UK for free

E4
If you're a long-term fan of Rick and Morty, you'll know E4 has always been the go to place to watch the show.

However, things will be a bit different this season, as the show will air at the same time in the UK as it is in the States. 

While that is good news as those in the UK can watch 100% for free it does mean an uncomfortable viewing time for those wanting to tune in live. Episodes will be airing at 4am, with the first one going live on September 5.

If that is far too early for you, don't worry. The show will be available to watch online via All 4 straight after it has aired. 

Outside of the UK? Get a VPN to watch as if you were right at home.
