Start Streaming For Free With These Free Trials [On-Demand + Live TV]

Most streaming services offer free trials now, including Fubo, DIRECTV STREAM, and Hulu. Choosing the right service for your household is important and if, like me, you can struggle to make decisions, it’s helpful to try each option first. I’ve rounded up every streaming service offering a free trial — so you can watch TV and try all the features without paying anything.

In a hurry? These are the top free trials I suggest starting with:

Fubo: This sports-first but great-for-everybody streaming service let’s you try out its base 150+ channel plan with its free trial!

Sign Up Now

DIRECTV STREAM: Features a slick and modern interface with unlimited DVR and devices and all the channels you expect. Check it out with a 5-day free trial.

Sign Up Now

Hulu Live: Get 95+ live TV channels along with Disney+ and ESPN+ with a free 3-day trial.

Sign Up Now

Philo: Get 70+ channels for a rock-bottom price featuring unlimited DVR storage, multiple devices, and a great user interface. Try it free for 7 days.

Sign Up Now

Free trials are exactly that: a free way to watch TV and try out the service. You typically sign up for the plan you want, but won’t pay anything if you cancel before the trial period has finished. This provides a risk-free way to try out streaming services or watch free TV online.

There are two types of streaming services — those that offer live TV channels and those that only provide on-demand movies and shows.

Live TV Streaming Free Trials

Fubo Free Trial

• Free Trial Details: Fubo offers a free trial on all its plans, though the length of this period can vary.
• Why You Should Sign up: Fubo is a well-rounded live TV streaming service offering 150+ channels in its base plan, covering news, sports, entertainment, and local networks. I generally recommend Fubo for sports fans, due to its large range of included regional sports networks (RSNs) and local channels.
• Fubo Deals.

Sign Up for a Free Fubo Trial

Plans start at $79.99 after the trial period. This comes with unlimited cloud DVR storage and streaming on up to 10 devices at once.

DIRECTV STREAM Free Trial

• Free Trial Details: A 5-day free trial is now available for DIRECTV STREAM. Occasionally DIRECTV STREAM will swap this for monthly discounts on its plans.
• Why You Should Sign Up: DIRECTV STREAM is one of the most comprehensive cable-replacement services. It provides all local channels (depending on location) and the networks you’d expect from satellite providers. It’s well-suited for large households as there’s no restriction on how many screens can watch at once.
• DIRECTV STREAM Deals.

DIRECTV STREAM plans start at $79.99. For further details, see our DIRECTV STREAM review.

Hulu + Live TV Free Trial

• Trial Details: Hulu + Live TV offers free trials to new and eligible returning customers. The length of the trial depends on the subscription you sign up for.
• Why You Should Sign Up: Hulu + Live TV provides a proficient balance of both live and on-demand TV for a competitive price. With an impressive on-demand library and 95+ channels, the addition of ESPN+ and Disney+ creates a comprehensive all-in-one package you can’t get from another provider.

Get Hulu + Live TV for $59.99 Monthly

For $76.99/month once the free trial’s ended, Hulu + Live TV comes with an unlimited cloud DVR (nine months of storage) and streaming on up to two devices at once.

• Why You Should Sign Up: Philo is one of the cheapest live-TV streaming services available, offering 70+ channels plus an on-demand library and unlimited DVR.

Try Philo for Free

I was surprised by how many channels Philo offers for $28/month. It doesn’t have any sports or local channels, but you get unlimited DVR storage and streaming on up to three devices.

See our Philo review for more information.

Frndly TV Free Trial

• Free Trial Details: Get Frndly TV free for 7 days! That will give you time to check out its interface and see if you want to upgrade to a plan with multiple screens, HD streaming, and DVD storage.
• Why You Should Sign Up: At $7.99/month, Frndly TV is my first recommendation to any TV fan on a budget. With 50+ popular channels, an unlimited DVR, and 72-hour lookback feature, it provides a lot for its price.

Sign Up for a Free Frndly TV Trial

Frndly TV works on many popular streaming devices and on up to four screens at a time.

YouTube TV Free Trial

• Why You Should Sign Up: YouTube TV provides 100+ channels, including local channels in certain locations, with unlimited DVR storage and viewing on three simultaneous screens.

Starting at $72.99, YouTube TV is worth considering if you want a streaming plan that can be customized with multiple premium add-ons.

Our YouTube TV review has more details.

On-Demand Streaming Free Trials

Paramount+ Free Trial

• Free Trial Details: Both Paramount+ plans (Essential or with SHOWTIME) usually come with a one-week free trial.
• Why You Should Sign Up: If you’re a fan of CBS content, this service is for you. It provides an on-demand library of CBS movies and shows, plus your local CBS live stream (if available in your area).
• Paramount+ Deals.

Try Paramount+ for Free!

Starting at $7.99/month for on-demand content, you can upgrade to $12.99/month to get the live CBS channel — one of the cheapest ways I’ve found to get both live TV and on-demand shows.

More information is in our Paramount+ review.

Hulu Free Trial

• Free Trial Details: Try Hulu free for 30 days! After that, it is $7.99/month for the basic ad-supported plan or $17.99/month for the ad-free plan. The deal does not apply to the Disney+/ESPN+ bundle, but you can easily add it after you’ve had time to check out the base service. Sometimes Hulu offers even better deals.
• Why You Should Sign Up: If you aren’t subscribed to a live TV streaming service, then Hulu is essential. And if you do get live TV, Hulu is still virtually essential. It just has many great licensed TV shows and Originals you won’t find anywhere else.
• Hulu Deals

Try Hulu for Free

Hulu is a great service for those who don’t care about waiting for a day or two to watch new TV shows — particularly those on ABC and Fox although there are also many from the various related “cable” channels. But many people subscribe just for the Hulu Originals like Only Murders in the Building and The Princess.

Peacock Free Trial

Peacock is the streaming service for NBC and related content. It includes popular TV shows like Mrs Davis, Poker Face, The Calling, Vampire Academy, and Yellowstone — all for just $7.99/month. It also comes with a lot of sports including Olympics, horse racing, auto racing, and more.

• Trial Details: Peacock doesn’t offer a typical trial. Instead, it offers the first episodes of many of its shows so you can try it out. There’s no time limit, however. This dates back to its early days when it had a free version.
• Why You Should Sign Up: Fans of NBCUniversal will not want to be without Peacock. And if you want to dig deep into NBC Sports programming, it is essential.
• Peacock Deals

BritBox Free Trial

BritBox is an on-demand streaming service that features content from BBC and ITV. It includes drama, mystery, comedy, lifestyle, documentary, and original content. It also includes lots of classic series like the first 26 seasons of Doctor Who. And you get all that for $5.99/mo or $59.99/yr ($4.99/mo).

• Why You Should Sign Up: If you love British TV, this is a no-brainer. It provides more content than you will ever be able to watch.
• Get BritBox Trial

Apple TV+ Free Trial

Apple TV+ has become a must-have streaming service because of its outstanding original TV series like Ted Lasso, Severance, and The Problem With Jon Stewart. But it has also recently begun streaming some live sports and is now the home of Major League Soccer.

• Free Trial Details: Fanatiz does not offer a full free trial. However, you can sign up for a free account, which allows you to watch some of its lesser channels like beIN Sports Xtra. This is a great way to check out the service.
• Why You Should Sign Up: Fanatiz is the best package for Central and South American soccer fans, and has exclusive coverage of Colombian top league games. It’s also the cheapest way to watch beIN Sports. If you’re a soccer fan, you’ll want this service in your favorites.

Sling TV Free Trial (Canceled)

Sling TV is a great low-cost streaming service. But it’s more. It’s also the most customizable streaming service with an unmatched selection of add-ons. It has two base plans for $40.00/month.

FAQs

Are there any streaming services that are completely free?

There are many free streaming services. All you need is a decent internet connection. They generally aren’t great for newer shows. But if you want to binge seasons of The Rockford Files or Gilligan’s Island, they are great. An especially good one is Tubi, which has the slogan, “find your next rabbit hole.” There are also many services with live channels. Here are the services we like most:

• Crackle
