When I need instant conservative political updates, I usually turn to Newsmax TV — especially as it has a free app that makes it easy to stream from anywhere. Newsmax generally focuses on political talk shows between breaking news coverage, and it’s easy to get without cable. I’ll explain how to watch on Fubo, Sling TV, DIRECTV, and which free options are available.

Three major streaming services carry Newsmax TV: Fubo, Sling TV, and DIRECTV. Designed to be total cable replacements, these services provide most or all the channels available with a cable or satellite subscription — but for less money and without any contracts.

All the above packages include cloud-based DVRs with unlimited storage (Sling plans are restricted to 50 hours, but you can expand this for an additional fee).
Most plans can be watched on multiple screens at once, using almost any popular streaming device, such as iOS and Android mobile devices, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, and many types of smart TVs (depending on the individual streaming service).
If you’re only interested in watching what John Bachman thinks about the day’s events, it’s worth checking out the following alternate ways to watch Newsmax TV:
Newsmax offers a free live stream (Newsmax2) on YouTube and their app, which is a great option to try out their content before committing to a paid service. But if you’re a regular viewer who wants the full channel experience, including exclusive shows and commercial-free broadcasts, then subscribing to Newsmax through Fubo might be the most cost-effective option for you. Here’s why: First, Newsmax is included in Fubo’s base plan, so you won’t need to pay extra for any fancy add-ons or upgrades. This saves you money compared to other services that might require additional packages for Newsmax. Second, Fubo also carries a bunch of local channels and over a dozen other news outlets, all within the same base plan. So, you’ll get your daily dose of Newsmax alongside local news and a variety of perspectives from other news sources, all in one place. This makes Fubo a great value overall, especially for cord-cutters looking to replace their traditional cable news package.
Best for: Multiple news channels in an affordable full cable-replacement package.
Best for: Those only wanting Newsmax TV.
Best for: Complete news package at the lowest cost.
Best for: Basic coverage through a free live stream of Newsmax2.
Newsmax+ is a direct-to-consumer streaming service that provides Newsmax and other content. In the past, Newsmax was free to stream online. That is no longer the case. So if you just want Newsmax, Newsmax+ is the cheapest way to get it for $4.99/mo. But if you want other channels like Fox News as well, we recommend a full-cable replacement service like the ones mentioned above.
