The Oscars are here and this year’s Academy Awards are once again airing on ABC.
Besides airing the awards ceremony, Big Ten college matches and NBA games, ABC is home to hit reality shows and favorites such as The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Abbott Elementary, Dancing With the Stars and Grey’s Anatomy. If you’ve recently cut the cord, there are affordable streaming options to livestream the Oscars, sporting events and more ABC originals online without cable.
Live TV streamers are an affordable option to replace your cable, with most options offering packages for less than $100 a month. Most of the streaming platforms that include ABC have free trials and promos going on, which means you could watch the NFL games on ABC for free. You’ll also be able to watch dozens of TV channels, giving you instant access to live sports, drama, comedies and reality series from home.
Below ShopBillboard breaks down the current deals and offers available to watch ABC online without cable.
How to Watch ABC Without a TV Provider
Don’t have cable? You can watch ABC through an HD antenna like one of these options here from Amazon. Another option that’ll give you access to watch ABC without cable is Hulu + Live TV. A subscription gets you more than 95 live TV channels, such as ABC, to watch live sports, TV series and specials whenever you want. You also get access to the entire Hulu on-demand library (including select ABC content available to watch the day after it airs).
Don’t have a Hulu + Live TV subscription? Right now, the streamer is offering a rare free trial that’ll get you your first three days free. Once the free trial is over, you’ll be charged the regular subscription fee of $82.99 a month.
Besides access to hundreds of live TV channels, you’ll also receive unlimited DVR storage, local channels and the ability to stream on as many devices as you want.
Sling TV
Sling TV is offering new half off off their first month with any of its three packages, which cuts the cost down to as low as $20 (reg. $40). You can choose from: the Orange, Blue or Orange + Blue Package. ABC is only offered on the Blue Package, but you can watch simulcasted games on ESPN3 (which is only offered on Sling’s Orange Package). Rather than choose between the two, you can combine the two for $45 (reg. $55) with the Orange + Blue Package, which will give you access to all 68 channels, DVR storage and the ability to stream on up to three devices.
All the above streamers let you watch ABC online without cable and stream content from your phone, tablet, computer or smart TV.
