TL;DR: Fandango has expanded its free streaming service by introducing guest viewing, so you can now watch thousands of movies and TV shows without creating an account or signing in.
If you’ve used Fandango before, you probably know it as the place to buy movie tickets or rent digital movies. Now, the company is bringing those services together under one brand while making its free streaming platform much easier to use.
The biggest update is guest viewing. You no longer need to create an account or sign in to start watching free movies and TV shows. Just open the site, pick something to watch, and press play. Fandango has also introduced a new Watch Now option that lets you jump straight into free content with a single click, instead of navigating through multiple menus.
According to Fandango, the strategy is already paying off. The company says monthly active users on its free streaming service have grown more than 300% year-over-year, while viewing hours have increased by more than 200%.

What can you watch for free?
The service now offers more than 3,500 hours of free programming, including hit movies, popular TV series, fan-favorite franchises, and live sports. Like other free streaming platforms, the service is supported by ads, so you don’t need a paid subscription to watch.
Do you still need an account?
Only if you want one.
You can now watch free movies and TV shows as a guest, but creating an account still unlocks extras like building a watchlist, syncing your purchases across devices, and accessing movies you’ve rented or bought through Fandango. If you’re simply looking for something free to watch, you can skip the signup process entirely.
