Hulu Live TV

Hulu Live TV is a live TV streaming service with more than 70 channels for $89.99 per month. Hulu + Live TV base plan includes local channels 32 of the top 35 cable channels, and regional sports networks (RSNs). Subscribers get free access to Disney+ and ESPN Select at no extra charge.

…

Where it really separates itself is value. Your subscription doesn’t just cover live TV — it also includes full access to Hulu’s on-demand library, plus bundled subscriptions to Disney+ and ESPN Select content at no extra cost. That means you’re getting everything from next-day network TV episodes and Hulu Originals, to Marvel, Star Wars, and live sports content all in one place without juggling multiple bills.

For sports fans, Hulu + Live TV also includes regional sports networks (RSNs) in select areas, a feature many competing services have dropped. That can be a big deal if you’re trying to follow local MLB, NBA, or NHL teams.

The DVR experience is another strong point. Subscribers get unlimited cloud DVR storage and the ability to fast-forward through commercials on recorded content — a feature that used to cost extra but is now standard. It’s designed to feel closer to a traditional cable DVR, just without the box.

If you want to customize further, several add-ons are available. You can upgrade to premium channels like HBO, Showtime, or Starz, add an unlimited streams option for households with lots of viewers, or go ad-free on Hulu’s on-demand content (live TV will still include ads).

Overall, Hulu + Live TV is less about being the cheapest option and more about being the most comprehensive. It’s built for people who want live TV, on-demand shows, and bundled streaming services all under one roof — without having to piece everything together themselves.

How to Sign Up for Hulu Live TV on Other Streaming Devices

If you have other devices, you can learn how to sign up for and use Hulu Live TV on Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV 4K, Google Chromecast, Roku, Android TV, iPhone/iPad, Android Phone/Tablet, Mac, Windows, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, LG Smart TV, Sony Smart TV, and VIZIO Smart TV.


What features are available on Hulu Live TV?

Unlimited Cloud DVR

Hulu includes DVR storage, allowing you to keep shows for up to . You can fast-forward through recorded content.

You cannot record individual episodes of a show—only an entire series.

Up to 2 Devices

This service allows for two simultaneous streams (among TV devices, smartphones, tablets, and computers).

For $9.99/month, you can upgrade to use Hulu Live TV on unlimited screens at home and three mobile screens.

On Demand

Hulu’s major strength is its on-demand library of movies and shows. You will get access to their full streaming library, which means full seasons from networks like FX (“What We Do In the Shadows,” “Atlanta,” “Fargo”) and ABC (“Abbott Elementary,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Modern Family”). Hulu’s movie library includes hits like “Prey,” “Parasite,” and “Moneyball.”

One frustrating part of Hulu’s on-demand content is that the ads are exceedingly long (~3 minutes). If you want to eliminate ads from Hulu and Disney+, you can do so for an additional $13/month.

Parental Controls

To use parental controls with Hulu Live TV, you need to create a user profile with “Kids Mode” enabled.

DIRECTV and Sling TV also have parental control features.


Hulu Originals Feature

Hulu Live TV users get access to Hulu’s original content like “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Only Murders in the Building,” “Pam & Tommy,” “The Bear,” and “The Patient.”

The Hulu documentary section is a special treat.

Commercial-Free On Demand Feature

You can watch Hulu and Disney+ commercial-free for an additional $13/month.
