Isn’t free always the right price? Many of the biggest live TV streaming services on the market think so, and provide free trials of varying lengths to allow prospective subscribers to give them a good, thorough testing before deciding whether or not to pay. But which services offer such trials, and how long are they? I’ll break down each of the top streamers that offer a free trial and what you can watch with them below!

Which Live TV Services Offer a Free Trial?

DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV STREAM comes with a free trial of five days in length for all new subscribers. There’s a lot to explore with DIRECTV STREAM’s trial; all packages come with at least 90 channels, including local broadcast networks, more than 30 of The Streamable’s top cable channels, and even free access to premium services like Max and STARZ for three months upon sign-up. Once the trial ends, you’ll have to pay at least $87 per month to keep your DIRECTV STREAM subscription.

Fubo

Fubo’s trial is less consistent, though it does offer one. New customers get a free trial whose length is determined by the time of month a viewer signs up, for a maximum length of seven days. Trials can also last as little as one day, though at the very least Fubo lets you know before you finalize your subscription how long of a trial you’ll get. Fubo packages start at $95 per month, and all plans include regional sports networks alongside a more standard cable channel package.

Hulu + Live TV

This service comes with a more standard free trial, as all new Hulu + Live TV customers get three-day free viewing window. Hulu + Live TV comes with just one base channel plan, which starts at $82 per month. Viewers who are willing to pay $1 more get all three services in the Disney Bundle — Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ — free with their subscription, and access to these services is also included in the three-day trial.

Philo

Philo has the longest standard free trial of any service on this list, at seven days per new subscriber. It’s a much smaller channel package than its companions here; Philo comes with 18 of The Streamable’s top 35 cable channels, with no live sports networks, local broadcast channels or cable news networks. It does come with AMC+’s on-demand library, and costs just $28 per month after the trial ends.

YouTube TV

YouTube TV provides the longest trial of any service on this list, with a window of up to two weeks available. However, like Fubo YouTube TV does not provide the same free trial to all new customers. It too determines the length of a trial based on what time of month a user signs up; when I subscribed, the service offered me a trial of five days. Once the trial ends, YouTube TV’s base channel package starts at $73 per month.
