Just because you cut the cable cord doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to your favorite local channels — including CBS. The channel has become one of the go-to destinations for reality competition shows like Survivor, Amazing Race and Raid the Cage as well as nail-biting crime dramas and comedies such as Blue Bloods, NCIS, The Equalizer, Ghosts and Young Sheldon. Thanks to CBS Sports, you also get to watch live sporting events like the WNBA season and PGA tournaments while the fall and winter months bring live NFL games and more.

Live TV platforms are providing affordable streaming options to watch local channels without having to spend more than $100 a month. Rather than connect the cord, you can take advantage of free trials and promos going on that’ll score savings and allow you to watch CBS at home without cable.

How to Watch CBS Online Without Cable for Free

If you don’t have cable, you may be able to watch CBS at home with a HD antenna like one of these from Amazon here. You can also get instant access to CBS through the channel’s official streaming platform Paramount+. Along with CBS, you’ll also be able to stream content from Nickelodeon, MTV, Bet, Comedy Central, Showtime and the Smithsonian Channel. If you already have a subscription, just log into your account to livestream content.

Don’t have Paramount+? New users will receive a seven-day free trial when you sign up. Once the free trial is over, you’ll be charged based on the plan you choose at checkout.

If you want to go ad-free, you can subscribe to Paramount+ with Showtime for $11.99 a month and you’ll not only receive access Showtime’s exclusive and original programs, but your local CBS station, additional live sports such as The Masters and NWSL and the ability to download content to watch on the go.

FuboTV

FuboTV is another affordable option offering a seven-day free trial for new users who sign up. There are four packages to choose from and ever single one includes CBS and CBS Sports. You’ll receive more than 185 channels starting at $80 (once the free trial is over). Along with the ability to livestream channels, you’ll get 1,000 hours of DVR and the ability to stream on up to 10 devices simultaneously. Upgrade to the Elite or Premier packages for 4K quality as well as Paramount+ with Showtime included for no added cost (only included in the Premier package).

For even more content, you can also bundle Hulu + Live TV with Disney+ and ESPN+ to watch additional exclusive and original sporting events and programs that won’t air on CBS.

Can You Get CBS With Amazon Prime?

You can watch CBS shows and content when you add Paramount+ as a premium channel to your Prime subscription. Paramount + is the official distributor and streaming platform for CBS, which means you’ll get access to exclusive and original content all within the Prime Video library. Just go to the Prime Channel storefront and you can get a seven-day free trial of Paramount+. Once your free trial is over, you’ll be charged $5.99 a month on top of your Prime membership subscription.

Is CBS On Hulu?

You won’t be able to livestream CBS programs with just a Hulu membership, but you can get live content when you subscribe to Hulu + Live TV. This includes everything from college sports, NFL and hit reality shows like The Amazing Race and Big Brother. Having just a Hulu membership will let you watch CBS shows and content the next day, but typically doesn’t include major sporting events.
