Watch USA Network Live Without Cable: Streaming Plans Compared

USA is one of the most popular TV channels for a reason — I love its perfect mix of drama series, daytime programming, and sports (including one of my guilty pleasures, WWE). All the major streaming services offer it: Sling TV, Fubo, DIRECTV, and Hulu + Live TV.

In a hurry? These services are my favorites for NBCUniversal channels:

How to Watch USA Network Live Without Cable

USA Network is owned by NBCUniversal (which also owns the streaming service Peacock). You can’t pick it up for free with an antenna, but many major streaming services provide it, without any of the commitments or contracts that cable and satellite companies require.

If you love USA’s programming, I think you’ll probably like TNT, TBS, truTV, Paramount Network, FX, and AMC as well — it might be worth keeping these channels in mind when choosing an overall streaming package.

Service	Price	Channels	Reviews
	$45.99/month	40+	Sling
	$79.99/month	185+	Fubo
	$64.99/month	125+	DIRECTV
	$82.99/month	95+	Hulu
	$82.99/month	100+	YouTube

As cable-replacement streaming services, all of these come with cloud-based DVRs and let you watch on multiple screens simultaneously. They work with almost any major streaming device, such as Android and iOS mobile devices, smart TVs (eg, Google, Samsung, LG), Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, web browsers, Amazon Fire TV devices, and even gaming systems (eg, Xbox and PlayStation).

Other Ways to Stream USA Network

Not looking for a full cable-replacement streaming service? That’s ok — I’ve got some other ways to watch USA Network programming:

• Peacock: As NBCUniversal’s on-demand streaming service, it includes content from USA, Bravo, Syfy, E!, and Oxygen, among others (but no live stream). After a free trial, I paid a low fee to remove commercials, or you can pay a slightly higher one to unlock more content. We have a full Peacock review with further details.
• On-demand: I’ve found some USA Network series, such as Dirty John and The Sinner, are often available on-demand through services like Netflix.
• USA App: Although you need a streaming service login, this app allows you to watch USA live and on-demand.

What’s on USA now?

Our Choice

Sling TV’s Blue plan is the most budget-friendly way to get USA, and it comes with other great NBC Universal channels like Bravo, Syfy, and NBC (if your local affiliate is available). I chose Sling because it offers a flexible month-to-month subscription, so you’re not locked into a long-term contract. Plus, Sling’s interface is super easy to navigate, and you can stream on most devices, making it perfect for casual viewers who want to keep things simple. While Sling’s cloud DVR storage is limited compared to some other services, it’s still a solid choice for cord-cutters looking for a cost-effective way to enjoy USA and other popular channels.
