Remember Digimon? It may have always played second fiddle to the other monster-based anime (you know, the one with the electric rat), but one could argue it was always the more mature offering.
Seven Japanese kids go camping one summer, only to wake up sucked into a digital world full of mystery, danger, and of course, monsters. Luckily for the rag-tag tweens, each “Digi-destined” has their own partner Digimon to defend and fight the digital frontier’s many dangers. As the teens traverse this land and takedown demons, vampire, and Elvis-impersonator monsters, they discover they’re part of a long-predicted prophecy, where they must serve as heroes to both the Digital and real world. That’s a lot to handle for kids who aren’t even old enough to get learner’s permits.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch Digimon online.
What channel is Digimon on?
Digimon season 1, 2, 4 are available exclusively on Starz. It’s also one of the few places you can find Digimon Adventure Tri.

How to watch Digimon online
If you’re looking to watch American Gods online for free, you have options ranging from on-demand apps and channels to a handful of live TV streaming services. Each of the streaming services come with at least a free seven-day trial.
1) Starz app
- Cost: $8.99 per month
- Devices: iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Mac, PC, Apple TV, Android TV, Fire Stick, Xbox One, Xbox One S, select Samsung Smart TVs
The Starz standalone app is the most direct way to stream Digimon, even if it is without frills. You can watch episodes of Digimon but you’ll also gain access to other Starz shows like Power and Outlander, along with the current lineup of Starz movies.
2) Sling TV
- Cost: $25 to $40 per month (after a 7-day free trial) for Sling TV | $9 per month for Starz

For a more à la carte service, look to Sling TV. It offers two cable packages, Sling Orange and Sling Blue, both of which cost $25 per month. If you grab them both (Sling Orange + Blue) you can save $10 per month. Sling Blue offers more bang for your buck with over 40 channels, including sports necessities like FS1, NBCSN, and NFL Network. You’ll also gain access to the usual cable mainstays like Food Network, Discovery, Cartoon Network, SYFY, and FXX. Whichever package you choose, you can add Starz to it for an additional $9 a month. Here’s the complete guide to Sling TV channels.

YouTube TV is a great solution for families because one subscription can add up to six accounts. Each account comes with unlimited cloud DVR. There are sports channels like NBCSN, NBA TV, and four ESPN channels. Disney, Disney XD, Disney Junior, and Cartoon Network will keep any kid (or kid at heart) busy for hours. It also comes with a few Spanish-language channels like Telemundo and NBC Universo. AMC, BBC America, and IFC are there too, so you won’t miss out on all that prestige TV. Adding Starz to your subscription is easy, and only runs an additional $9 a month. (You can find the full list of YouTube TV channels here.)
