The series is not a numbered channel on DIRECTV. You watch it through the Prime Video app on a supported TV, streaming stick, phone, tablet or computer with an eligible Amazon Prime or Prime Video subscription. Confirm the title page in your own account for the episode list, audio options and any regional notes.

Amazon describes an eight-episode third season released in three batches rather than one weekly drop. Do not assume every episode is available on premiere day. Check the episode list in Prime Video when you open the season.
What Season 3 is about
According to Amazon, Season 3 picks up several years after the fall of Eregion. Middle-earth is at war as Sauron's armies push outward, while isolated strongholds such as Khazad-dûm, Lindon and Rivendell still stand. In Mordor, Sauron works toward forging the One Ring. Amazon's Season 3 materials also introduce new cast members, including Jamie Campbell Bower as Celeborn and Zubin Varla as Khamûl, with Simon Pegg credited as the voice of the Balrog.
Returning leads include Charlie Vickers as Sauron, Morfydd Clark as Galadriel, Robert Aramayo as Elrond and Daniel Weyman as Gandalf, among others listed by Amazon.
How to watch on Prime Video
Open the Prime Video app or website, sign in, and search for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Select Season 3 when the episodes appear. Amazon says seasons 1 and 2 are streaming now if you want to catch up before November 11.
Prime Video access usually comes with Amazon Prime membership or a standalone Prime Video plan. Plan names, ads and quality tiers differ by account. Review the membership screen for your price and whether a title is included or offered as a separate rental or purchase. Check the current price and any trial eligibility directly with Amazon before subscribing.
Watching with DIRECTV in the room
Rings of Power is not carried as a live DIRECTV channel. On a compatible television or streaming device, open the Prime Video app and sign in with your Amazon credentials. App availability depends on the device. Having DIRECTV service does not, by itself, unlock Prime Video titles.
Households that want live news, sports and local stations alongside Amazon originals often keep a TV package and a streaming login separate. Call American TV at 1-855-690-9884 to compare DIRECTV options for your address while you keep Prime Video for series like this one.
Before premiere day
Confirm that your Amazon password works on the TV you plan to use, and that the season appears in your country's catalog. Add the title to a watchlist if the episodes are not live yet. If someone else in the house already pays for Amazon Prime, check whether a new subscription would duplicate that bill.
