Combining education and entertainment has always been the strong suit of History (formerly known as the History Channel). That's why shows like Ancient Aliens, Pawn Stars, The Food That Built America, Vikings, and History's Greatest Mysteries have endured and reached modern-classic status at this point—their fascinating premises coupled with bingeable formats make them so easy to watch and like.

Notable streamers that allow you to do this include Philo, DirecTV Stream, and Hulu with Live TV, among others. Below, we've rounded up a complete list of the services you can try for free to watch your favorite shows on History.
