How to watch Andor online and stream the Star Wars show for less
Eager to save money on the new Star Wars show? Here's how to watch Andor for as little as possible
There's a new Star Wars show in town, and that means you'll need to watch Andor online soon to avoid spoilers (because three episodes are available already, there are bound to be a few). But because there are so many streaming services squabbling over our cash these days, we've put together some advice on how to stream Andor for as little as possible here.
Here's the long and short of how to watch Andor online as cheaply as you can - you'll need a month's Disney Plus membership. We've been covering the Netflix rival for years now, and we've yet to find a less expensive option. Short of getting a free subscription through other services like Verizon in the USA or O2 in the UK, you won't be able to stream Andor on more of a budget than that.
Fortunately, it's far from your only option. We've listed the best Disney Plus sign-up deals where you are right here, not to mention how much it actually costs in your region.
Just remember, you'll need to be a member for at least a couple of months - new episodes drop weekly, and there are 12 in total. That means we have two-and-a-bit more months until we're able to stream Andor in its entirety.
Watch Andor online - USA
Disney Plus | $7.99 per month
At the time of writing, your best bet of streaming Andor on the cheap is a bog-standard month of Disney Plus. OK, so it's not a glamorous or surprising option. But because there's no free trial period anymore (and unless you opt for a free six-month add-on with Verizon Unlimited), it's the cheapest deal you've got. It's not the best value, though (especially seeing as you'll need more than one month to stream Andor in its entirety - new episodes drop each month). If you're going to stick around, consider the $79.99 annual fee instead. That gets you 12 months of Disney Plus for the price of 10, so will save you around $16 overall. Another alternative would be the Disney Plus bundle with Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus for $13.99 per month (or $19.99p/m if you'd prefer to go without Hulu ads).
Watch Andor - Canada
Disney Plus | $11.99 per month
If you're hoping to save some cash and watch Andor online for less, we get it. However, now that the Disney Plus free trial is gone, your best option is a standard month - it really is the cheapest available option, sadly. It's the best option, though. Instead, the annual $119.99 deal provides you with 12 months for the price of 10. That's a saving of $23.98 overall.
Watch Andor - UK
Disney Plus | £7.99 per month
Just like Obi-Wan, Mandalorian, and Boba Fett, you can't stream Andor anywhere other than Disney Plus. And from what we've been able to tell after years spent covering it, the cheapest option remains a standard month (unless you need a new phone contract, in which case it's worth investigating O2's offer of six months of Disney Plus with certain deals). We'd recommend considering the £79.90 annual sub, though. While it's more expensive, it's better value in the long run because you're getting 12 months for the price of 10. In other words, you're saving roughly £16 in total.
Stream Andor - Australia
Disney Plus | $11.99 per month
As you may have guessed from all the advertising, the only way to watch Andor is through Disney Plus. And the cheapest way of getting your hands on it is with a standard month (you can't get a free trial anymore, sorry). However, be sure to consider the $119.99 annual fee if you might stick around. It's better value for money on balance because you get 12 months of the streaming service for the price of 10. That's a saving of $24.

Check for Disney Plus deals in your region
If you can't see your region listed above, we'd recommend checking to see if Disney Plus exists in your area - if it does, you'll find Andor there. And if the streaming service isn't available for you just yet, don't give up. It'll be coming soon, as the company has promised a worldwide rollout over the next few years.
Watch Andor in order
Where does this series fit into the wider Star Wars saga? Although we've gone into more detail for our Star Wars timeline guide, Andor takes place between Revenge of the Sith and Rogue One. In fact, it takes place about five years after Obi-Wan and roughly five years before Rogue One.
