CNN announced today that it will launch a $6.99 a month ‘All Access’ streaming service on October 28, 2025.

The service, which will also be available for $69.99 annually, will include “a selection” of live feeds of CNN programming as well as on-demand programming from the news network, CNN said. Subscribers who sign up for the annual plan by January 5, 2026 will get a special introduction price of $41.99.

While CNN did not specify which live feeds will be available, by saying it will be a “a selection” suggests it will not be a 24/7 feed of the main CNN channel.

“Subscribers of the All Access tier will have the ability to stream a selection (italics ours) of CNN’s live US and International programming; the award-winning CNN Originals library of more than 1,000 hours of content as well as the latest CNN Original Series and CNN Films, available the day after their television airing,” the CNN statement reads.

HBO Max, the sister streaming service to CNN, now offers select live feeds and on-demand shows from the news network but it will stop doing so on November 17, 2025.

Current pay TV (cable, satellite, etc.) subscribers to CNN will also be able to use their provider’s user name and password to access the new streaming product at no additional cost.
