How to Install Twitch on FireStick in 2 Minutes

In this guide, I will share detailed information on how to install Twitch on FireStick. This method works perfectly for all Fire TV devices, including FireStick 4K, FireStick Lite, Amazon FireStick, and Fire TV Cube.

What Is Twitch?

Twitch is an online service for watching and streaming digital video broadcasts. It is also a popular streaming app for your favorite games.

Since its inception in 2011, Twitch has maintained its position as one of the best streaming platforms. It lets you stream your lifestyle activities, and anyone can watch it in real-time.

Twitch partners with gaming companies, such as Blizzard Entertainment and Overwatch League, to showcase gaming events peculiar to the platform. In addition, gamers on Twitch can enjoy streaming on the platform because it can last for several hours, as there are no restrictions.

Streaming on the Twitch platform is straightforward; browse the available categories and select one that appeals to you.

One of the unique features of the Twitch app is live chat, which lets you chat with one another while streaming.

The Twitch app has been added to our list of the best apps for FireStick.

How to Subscribe on Twitch

You can receive updates on Twitch for free, just like on all social media apps. However, if you desire special privileges like emojis and exclusive streams, I suggest you subscribe to Twitch.

Twitch subscriptions provide financial benefits for streamers, and you receive some benefits in return. Streamers can get a loyal audience from the different subscription packages they offer.

Here, I’ll explain everything about the various Twitch subscription packages.

Available Subscription Plans on Twitch

Available subscription plans consist of Twitch Turbo and Twitch Prime. There are three tiers of Twitch subscription plans.

Tier 1 subscription: The first tier of Twitch subscription costs only $4.99. After subscribing, gamers can access the service’s built-in features.

Tier 2 subscription: The second tier of Twitch subscription costs only $9.99. Like the tier 1 subscription plan, gamers can access its built-in features. In addition, anyone who subscribes to this plan gets an extra emote.

Tier 3 subscription: The third tier of Twitch subscription costs $24.99. In addition to accessing the built-in features available to all subscribers, you can get two extra emotes.

The benefits you get from the subscription plan depend on your plan. Regardless of the subscription plan a subscriber settles for, subscriptions can be monthly, quarterly, or bi-annual. However, I suggest the subscription takes place on the same day for any option that suits you.

How to Subscribe Twitch for FireStick and other Devices

You can subscribe to any of the plans above without breaking a sweat. Go to Twitch Official page on any web browser and select a suitable plan.

How to Stream on FireStick with a VPN

Your internet provider and many websites/apps can see your IP address and some details about your connection. Using a VPN encrypts your traffic and masks your IP address, which helps protect your online privacy.

I recommend ExpressVPN. It’s a reputable VPN with strong encryption and fast connections, and it’s straightforward to install on Fire TV/FireStick and other devices.

Next, I’ll show you how to set up and use ExpressVPN on your Fire TV/Stick. 

Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it for free for the first 30 days, and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find, followed by the Search option.

Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.

Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.

Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created when you purchased the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.

Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.

How to Use Twitch on FireStick

If you frequently use Twitch, creating a shortcut on your FireStick home screen will be handy.

1. To achieve this, press the Home button on your FireStick remote until a menu appears. Use the tab (left/ right/ top/ button) to navigate different contents.

2. Now, press the Options button on the remote.

3. Click Move.

4. Move the app and put the app in your preferred position.

You will see Twitch on the FireStick Home screen if you have followed the steps correctly.
