No live TV service is offering The Bear, as the show is an on-demand exclusive with Hulu.

Head back into the kitchen of The Bear, Chicagoland’s newest and most fascinating restaurant when “The Bear” returns with new episodes on Wednesday, June 26 at 9 p.m. ET. The show continues to be exclusive to Hulu, so a subscription to that streamer is the best way to watch all episodes when they become available to binge on Wednesday evening.

But what about live TV streaming services? Will they be carrying new episodes of “The Bear”? It’s easy to get confused by this question, especially since the show is billed as an “FX on Hulu” original. That would seem to indicate the show will also air on the FX cable channel, but as of now there are no announced plans to broadcast Season 3 of “The Bear” on FX or any other linear network.

But there is one live TV service that allows you to bundle Hulu with top cable channels: Hulu + Live TV. Learn more about it below, and see all your other options for watching Season 3 of “The Bear” when it debuts this week!

Best Options for Watching ‘The Bear’ Season 3

Hulu + Live TV

  • Watch 90+ live cable channels including locals.
  • Bundle Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+ with subscription at no extra cost.
  • Three-day free trial

Standalone Hulu

  • New customers can watch with a 30-day free trial.
  • Stream “The Bear” and thousands of other Hulu titles.
  • Upgrade to ad-free streaming for $17.99 per month.

Can You Watch ‘The Bear’ Season 3 with Hulu Live TV?

Hulu+ Live TV comes with the Disney Bundle, so viewers can stream The Bear as part of their subscription.

Yes! Hulu + Live TV allows viewers who sign up at $76.99 per month or more to get free access to Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ as part of their subscription! That Disney Bundle inclusion will mean “The Bear” Season 3 and all other episodes of the show are ready to stream upon signup (once the new episodes come out), alongside more than 90 cable channels like Bravo, ESPN, FX, Hallmark Channel, TNT and many more, as well as local broadcast networks. Hulu + Live TV is also offering new customers a three-day free trial for a limited time, so if you need to get more with your TV subscription and watch “The Bear” at the same time, this is the way to go.

Can You Watch ‘The Bear’ Season 3 with DIRECTV STREAM?

DIRECTV STREAM viewers with Gemini devices can watch Hulu using that player, but there are no bundles available with both services.

Sadly, there’s no way to bundle a Hulu subscription with DIRECTV STREAM. Viewers who do decide to subscribe to the service and snag a Gemini streaming box can download the Hulu app and watch with ease through any compatible TV, however, and when they’re done with “The Bear” they can switch and start watching top cable channels on DIRECTV STREAM with ease. Plans to this service start at $79.99 per month, and DIRECTV STREAM offers more top cable channels than any other service in its various packages, with four to choose from. It offers a free trial of five days for new customers.

Can You Watch ‘The Bear’ Season 3 with Fubo?

Fubo does not have any method for watching The Bear through Hulu.

At present, there’s no way to bundle a Fubo subscription with Hulu to watch “The Bear.” Fubo is a more sports-focused streaming service, granting viewers in most areas of the country access to their local regional sports networks (RSNs) alongside national cable sports channels like FS1 and ESPN. Fubo also carries a good variety of cable news and entertainment channels, and offers a free trial for new customers. Its prices start at $79.99 per month nominally, but all viewers who get an RSN with their Fubo plan will be charged at least $11.99 per month extra.

Can You Watch ‘The Bear’ Season 3 with Sling TV?

Sling TV has no bundles with Hulu, but viewers can subscribe to both services for less than $50 per month.

Sling TV plans start at just $40 per month, and while you can’t bundle Hulu with a Sling subscription, the low price of Sling will allow you to combine both services for less than the cost of Fubo, DIRECTV STREAM or YouTube TV. Sling’s base plans come equipped with channels like ESPN, TNT, MSNBC, Fox News and many more, and viewers can switch back and forth between the two packages if they’d like to watch the network of one on the other. Sling is also offering new customers 50% off their first month of service for a limited time.

Can You Watch ‘The Bear’ Season 3 on Philo?

Philo and Hulu together will cost just $36 per month.

Philo just added AMC+ access for all subscribers, but there’s no way to get Hulu as part of your subscription with this service. For just $28 per month, however, Philo will allow you to stream cable networks like AMC, Hallmark Channel, Lifetime, Nickelodeon and others. There won’t be much in the way of sports or news available, but like Sling, you can stack Philo and Hulu subscriptions together at a price that will be much easier to stomach than a cable subscription.

Can You Watch ‘The Bear’ Season 3 on YouTube TV?

YouTube TV is not available to bundle with Hulu at this time.

No, sadly. YouTube TV does have a Primetime Channels hub that allows customers to purchase multiple streaming services in one place, but Hulu isn’t available there. YouTube TV plans normally start at $72.99 per month, and the service carries dozens of top cable channels. However, there’s no way to stream “The Bear” Season 3 with a subscription.
