Hulu with Live TV explained: what is it and what channels can you watch?

Besides the thousands of award-winning and critically acclaimed TV shows and movies, Hulu also provides customers with one of the best cable-cutting packages. The Hulu with Live TV plan offers popular US channels that you can watch live or on-demand, including acclaimed titles like The Handmaid’s Tale and Normal People.

With countless boxsets to binge-watch and exclusive Hulu Originals, Hulu with Live TV provides an extra 75+ live channels, including ABC, CBS, NBC, the CW, ESPN, Lifetime (see full list below).

Hulu with Live TV is also a great cord-cutting option for families and sports fans, offering some of the best news channels, sports coverage and lots of entertainment for kids. You can also customize your package with add-ons such as HBO Max, giving you access to even more content including HBO Originals. 

Want to know more? Keep reading for our full explainer on what you get when subscribing to the Hulu with Live TV plan.

What is the Hulu with Live TV plan?

Hulu with Live TV (otherwise known as Hulu + Live TV) gets you all the goodness of a regular Hulu plan with the added bonus of over 75 channels that you can tune into live - all without the steep cable package price tag. This includes TV channels such as ABC, CBS, NBC, TLC, Comedy Central, Fox, Adult Swim, and many more, with the option to also select premium channels as add-ons.

While you won't get a whole 30-days to give Hulu + Live TV a try, the plan does still come with its own Hulu free trial, allowing you to see if this is the one for you for a period of 7 days. After the week long trial, the Hulu price for Hulu with Live TV sets you back from $64.99 a month.

You can head straight to the Hulu website to sign up for that one-week trial.

Hulu with Live TV offers much the same perks as Hulu's other two streaming plans. This means you avoid being locked into a fixed contract, with the ability to cancel hassle free anytime. There are also no hidden fees or need for additional equipment to watch Hulu.
