The Ultimate Guide To Watch CNN on Firestick
The official CNN apps and seamless casting options will enable you to watch CNN on Firestick in 2025, but before we get into the steps, let’s take a moment to consider why watching CNN on your TV is worthwhile. In addition to being more convenient, watching CNN on your TV is also a smarter way of staying updated.
5 Benefits of Watching CNN on Your Firestick TV
“A Firestick isn’t necessary for me since I already watch CNN on my phone — why do I need a Firestick?”
Here’s why:
1 | Larger Screen Size
You can use CNN on your phone, but watching the news unfold on a large screen is always better when you are on the go, even if you have the app. On a full-size TV, you can watch charts, maps, and breaking news with clarity and context you won’t find on a small screen. You can also watch it with your roommate or family, so everyone stays up to date.
2 | Better Sound Quality
The best choice for news anchors who speak quickly or for field reporters who have background noise is probably a TV speaker system or a home theater system.
3 | Less Strain on the Eyes
The eye strain will be relieved and you won’t have to spend hours glued to your phone screen if you choose to watch CNN on your television rather than your phone screen. While you relax on your couch reading headlines, tickers, and details, you won’t have to spend hours hunching over your phone.
4 | More Interactive Experience
Firestick apps and casting tools allow you to control how you watch CNN. With just one device, you can stay on top of the news by pausing live coverage, rewinding coverage, or switching between CNN and other news channels. With Firestick, you can even navigate hands-free with Amazon’s Alexa. Keep up with the news smarter and more flexible.
5 | Multitasking
When CNN streams on your TV, you can multitask with your phone. While watching a heated debate, you can read Twitter or Threads, take notes, or chat with your friends without interrupting your viewing experience. Keeping up with the latest news is easy with this setup, and you won’t miss a beat.
How to Watch CNN on Firestick (Step-by-Step)
Streaming CNN on a Firestick can be done in several ways:

You can still watch CNN without a cable subscription even if you don’t have cable.
Option 2: Use a Streaming Service (No Cable Required)

What If the CNN App Doesn’t Work on Firestick?
The CNN app isn’t always available in your region, or crashes on launch, or doesn’t play videos in your region. For those problems, restarting your Firestick or clearing the cache of the app may help. To ensure you are using the latest version of the app, check for updates to both the app and Fire OS. A VPN will enable you to watch CNN from abroad if you are located outside the United States.
Here’s what to do:
Start by restarting your Firestick and clearing the CNN app’s cache by going to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Apps > CNN > Clear Cache.

By using Alexa, you can launch CNN with a voice command—just say, “Alexa, open CNN.” You can bookmark your favorite CNN shows for easy replays on streaming apps, especially Inside Politics and The Situation Room. In addition, if you are casting CNN to your TV, you can use Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode on your mobile device to keep up with the latest news while you are doing other tasks.
