Sling TV is the best live TV streamer for watching Cartoon Network. Which others are available?

Cartoon Network is still rightly regarded as the premier destination on cable for animated programming — it’s right there in the name! Viewers will find a wide selection of cartoons for younger viewers on the channel during the day, and at night it becomes Adult Swim, offering favorites like “Family Guy” and much more for older viewers to enjoy.

There are several different options available for streaming Cartoon Network, but which ranks No. 1 among The Streamable’s panel of knowledgeable writers? We’ve put together a list of the top choices below, including which one is our favorite.

How to stream Cartoon Network

There are four live TV streaming services that allow you to watch Cartoon Network without a cable subscription alongside other popular cable channels: DIRECTV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV. Fubo does not carry any Warner Bros. Discovery channels, and although Philo does offer Nickelodeon, it does not currently include Cartoon Network in its package.

DIRECTV Fubo Hulu Philo Sling TV YouTube TV
Free Trial Free Trial Free 3-Day Trial Free Trial Save with Sling Free Trial
$20.99 $9.99 $28.99 $25 $19.99 $29.99 $45.99 $45.99 $64.99
Cartoon Network + $0 - + $61 - - - ✓ ✓ + $18

Best choice to stream Cartoon Network without cable: Sling TV

Cartoon Network is available to stream in Sling’s Blue plan, which offers a really good selection of channels, no matter if you like sports, news, or entertainment. It carries Bravo, Fox News, FS1, FX, MSNBC, NFL Network, truTV, and more, and even includes local broadcast channels ABC, Fox, and NBC in some large markets. It starts at $46 per month normally, but Sling almost always has a discount of some kind available for a customer’s first month, bringing the low price down even lower.

Next choice to stream Cartoon Network without cable: Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV is the next-best idea to stream Cartoon Network, and the inclusion of the Disney Bundle is a big reason why. This service has more than 90 total channels in its base plan, including local broadcast networks and all your cable favorites. It comes with a three-day free trial, and also offers Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ with all plans starting at $83 per month. That’s a huge amount of kids’ content in addition to access to Cartoon Network!

Service with lots of options for watching Cartoon Network without cable: DIRECTV

DIRECTV is all about choice. You can stream Cartoon Network starting with the $85-per-month ENTERTAINMENT package, but you can upgrade to the CHOICE, PREMIER, or ULTIMATE plans and get a truly eye-popping number of channels for your money as well. You also get a five-day free trial if you sign up to stream DIRECTV through its app, unlocking Cartoon Network and all the other channels in your package right away.

Last pick for watching Cartoon Network without cable: YouTube TV

YouTube TV is a fine pick for watching Cartoon Network without cable. It’s got the channel in its $83-per-month base plan, and a free trial of between two and 14 days, depending on what time of month you sign up and other variables. The reason YouTube TV falls to this spot on our list is that it doesn’t beat Sling on price, doesn’t have the same extras that Hulu + Live TV does, and doesn’t come with the same amount of plan choice as DIRECTV.
