What do you get with Hulu + Live TV?
A Live TV plan lets you watch a channel as it airs and record shows with Cloud DVR. It also includes Hulu’s on-demand library. Open Live to find the channel guide, or use Search to find a series or film.
Do you need live channels or just one show?
A series or film: Search for its title, season and episode on Hulu. A regular Hulu plan may be enough.
A live match, news broadcast or local station: Look for the channel in the Live TV list for your home ZIP code. A regular Hulu subscription does not include that channel feed.
What to check before you subscribe
Write down the channels you use now. Include the local station for your news and the network that carries your team’s next game.
- Look up those channels in Hulu’s local lineup.
- Check whether each one is in the base plan or requires an add-on.
- Compare the full monthly charge with your current bill. Check the price after any offer ends.
Which channels does Hulu + Live TV carry?
Hulu advertises more than 100 live channels. Here are examples from its US lineup. Use Hulu’s channel finder for the full list at your address.
- Local broadcast: ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS and The CW, where available.
- Sports: ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, FS2, CBS Sports Network, NFL Network and MLB Network.
- News: CNN, ABC News Live, CNBC, FOX News and NBC News NOW.
- Entertainment: FX, FXX, TBS, TNT, Bravo and Comedy Central.
- Family: Disney Channel, Disney Jr., Nickelodeon and PBS Kids.
Picture quality. A channel can look different from a film in Hulu’s on-demand library. The feed, the device and your internet connection all affect the picture.
Local stations. Two viewers in different cities may see different versions of ABC or NBC. Look for your station’s name or call letters when you check your ZIP code.
Billing for Hulu + Live TV
Check the plan and Home network before paying
Look for the specific channel in the lineup for your service location before choosing a Live TV plan. When Hulu later asks for a billing ZIP, enter the code your card issuer holds for your billing address. These checks serve different purposes. A successful card authorization does not establish a Live TV Home network. Hulu Home network requirements.
For direct card billing, Hulu specifies a US-issued card. Review the subscription price, add-ons and renewal date on Hulu’s order screen. If the bank shows a pending hold but your account has no active Live TV plan, check for a confirmation email before trying again. Use Hulu’s card and billing ZIP checks to distinguish an issuer decline from a billing-address mismatch.
Which sports channels can you watch?
Start with the event, the date and the channel showing it. The same team can appear on different networks during the season.
Professional sports. The next NFL game might be on a local broadcaster, ESPN or NFL Network. Check the game schedule, then look for that channel in Hulu’s list for your address.
College sports. Hulu lists ACC Network, Big Ten Network and SEC Network. Look up the individual game as well. A channel in your plan does not remove a local blackout.
Finding the right feed. ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU have different schedules. Type the team or event name in Hulu’s search, then check the channel and start time.
News channels
For national news, look for CNN, CNBC, FOX News, ABC News Live or NBC News NOW. For local news, search for the station serving your ZIP code. An always-on national news stream may carry a different broadcast.
Entertainment, films and children’s channels
- Series and films: FX, FXX, TCM, TNT and TBS.
- Home, food and reality: HGTV, Food Network, Bravo and TLC.
- Family viewing: Disney Channel, Disney Jr., Nickelodeon and PBS Kids.
Check the programme guide for the next showing. A film on a live channel may have different on-demand rights.
Which channels cost extra?
Hulu lists add-ons separately from its base plan. In your account, open the page for managing add-ons and check the names, channels and monthly price. Confirm the total before you change the plan.
For sports: A network with a similar name can be an extra. For example, NFL Network and NFL RedZone are different channels. Search for the exact one you want.
Can you watch Hulu + Live TV outside the US?
Hulu + Live TV is for eligible US households. Hulu checks your Home network and may ask for your device location. A VPN or Smart DNS does not establish a US home. The published USip playback tests cover on-demand episodes. They do not verify live channels.
If you are looking for one series abroad, check your local streaming options.
