Hulu + Live TV lets you watch over 95 channels and access all of Hulu's on-demand entertainment. Thanks to its extensive set of features and entertainment options, it's our top pick for the best live TV streaming service you can sign up for.

Members can choose between two core plans: live TV with ad-supported Hulu for $77 a month or live TV with ad-free Hulu for $90 monthly. Both plans include a Disney Plus and ESPN Plus membership for no extra cost. While there are commercials during live broadcasts with either tier, the ad-free option allows you to stream on-demand content without ads. And no matter your subscription, you get the same selection of live TV channels to watch. 

To help you decide whether Hulu + Live TV is the right streaming subscription for your needs, we rounded up all of the service's available channels and add-ons. However, remember that Hulu's channel lineup varies slightly by location. Before signing up, you should enter your ZIP code on the Hulu + Live TV website to confirm the selection in your area.

Hulu + Live TV includes over 90 channels, along with Hulu's on-demand library and access to Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. Adding live TV drives up the price significantly, but it's a rolling one-month contract that you're free to cancel at any time. As live TV services go, this is one of the best.

Hulu's live TV lineup features over 95 channels, including popular local stations and most major networks you'd find on cable.

That said, the service is missing a few notable channels — like AMC and NBA Network — that you can find on competitors like YouTube TV. Where Hulu + Live gets an edge, however, is with its inclusion of the full Hulu library of on-demand shows and movies, as well as complimentary subscriptions to Disney Plus and ESPN Plus.
