Food Network is one of the most popular cable channels out there, and after watching for just a few minutes it becomes very easy to understand why. Watching even part of a show on Food Network is more than enough to get you hungry for a new dish you’ve never tried before, and the channel can help teach you new recipes, find restaurants in your city, and more.

If you’re ready to leave cable behind or have recently done so, but don’t want to lose access to shows like “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives,” “Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking,” “Holiday Baking Championship,” and all the other titles found on the channel, see where you can stream it without a cable subscription below!

What are the best ways to stream Food Network?

How to stream Food Network

Food Network is available from one of five live TV streaming services, most of which come with a free trial of at least three days. You’ll have ample opportunity to shop around and test various services, but we’ll give you our top recommendation for watching the channel below.

Top pick: Sling TV

Even with an upcoming price increase to $46 per month for Sling TV base plans, it’s our best choice for watching Food Network overall. It’s all about balance with Sling TV; specifically, the balance between price and channel selection that is unique to the streamer.

Food Network comes in both Sling TV base plans, so you can choose Sling Orange to get ESPN or Sling Blue to receive FS1and FX, as well as ABC, NBC, and Fox in select markets and not miss out on any Food Network programming. Each Sling plan carries around 40 channels, including some of the most popular out there, at a price that’s easy to stomach.

Runner-up: Philo

Philo is even cheaper than Sling TV, and it comes with a seven-day free trial for all new customers. The service starts at only $28 per month, but the tradeoff here is that you get fewer channels with your subscription. Philo doesn’t have any cable news or sports channels, and it doesn’t offer local broadcast channels in any market. However, if you only need a handful of cable channels to keep you entertained and want to pay a low price for Food Network, this is the way to go.

The host with the most channels: DIRECTV STREAM

If you want to ramp up your cable channel selection while you stream Food Network, check out DIRECTV STREAM and its five-day free trial. It carries a huge selection of top cable channels, including local broadcast network affiliates in most American media markets. Plans start at $87 per month after the free trial, and each package offers at least 90 cable networks, with more available the more you’re willing to pay.

Bundle and save: Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV is very close to DIRECTV STREAM in these rankings, with a slightly shorter free trial at just three days. It’s slightly cheaper; Hulu + Live TV base plans start at $82 per month. The real value kicks in if you’re willing to pay $83 per month, however; not only will you get Food Network and almost 100 other cable channels for that price, but you’ll also get access to Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ at no extra cost with this streamer.

Last pick: YouTube TV

YouTube TV is a perfectly fine choice for streaming Food Network without cable. The reason that we have it ranked where it is is because its monthly price of $73 doesn’t beat either Sling TV or Philo. It also doesn’t have a free trial of consistent length like DIRECTV STREAM or Hulu + Live TV; YouTube TV’s trial length depends on what time of month you sign up. You can definitely stream Food Network with YouTube TV, we just think there are superior choices.
