The Hulu app is not long for this world, but we’ll update you on the live sports offered by the streamer here.

Hulu doesn't come with live sports of its own, but it does offer ESPN+ and Hulu + Live TV sports content.

Hulu is well known for its general entertainment offerings. The streamer has a great selection of TV shows and movies that span essentially every genre, including Oscar-winning movies, animated TV shows made specially for adults, next-day streams of primetime shows from ABC and Fox, and a lot more.

But does Hulu have any live sports rights of its own? We’ll break it all down for you and let you know what kind of sports you can watch with your Hulu subscription, even as Disney prepares to wind down the Hulu app in 2026.

What sports can you watch on Hulu?

Hulu doesn’t come with any live sports of its own, as other streaming services do. However, there are some ways to watch live sports within the Hulu app.

First, if you have a subscription to ESPN alongside Hulu as part of the Disney Bundle, you can watch content from ESPN+ on the Hulu app. ESPN+ carries more than 30,000 live sporting events every year, from across the college and professional ranks.

You can also watch live sports on Hulu if you subscribe to Hulu + Live TV for $90 per month. This package comes with a wide range of channels that carry live sporting events, such as ABC, CBS, ESPN, Fox, FS1, NBC, NFL Network, and TNT, as well as other options like ACC Network and SEC Network.

All of this programming is available to watch in the Hulu app, but if you don’t have a subscription to ESPN Select with ESPN+ or the Hulu + Live TV package, you won’t be able to watch any live sports content on the service.

Will Hulu add any live sports in the future?

The sports future of the Hulu brand is interesting to discuss. On the one hand, the streamer’s standalone app will be shut down in the coming months, and that means there won’t be any live sports to stream on Hulu at all, in a sense.

On the other hand, Fubo and Hulu + Live TV are merging into one platform in 2026, should regulators approve. If that deal goes through, Hulu + Live TV and Fubo will be sold through the same platform, and while that won’t mean more sports for Hulu necessarily, it will tie the brand inexorably to one of the biggest names in sports streaming.

Can you watch live sports in 4K on Hulu?

No, Hulu does not offer the ability to watch live sports in 4K, no matter if you’ve got an ESPN+ or Hulu + Live TV subscription.
