Hulu has live TV. That should be obvious at this point because it's practically impossible to escape the commercials that do, in fact, tell you over and over again that Hulu has live TV. But people are listening, as Hulu with Live TV is one of the most popular live TV streaming services available.
And there are a few reasons for the success of Hulu with Live TV. First and foremost is that Hulu has a competitive set of live channels. That's probably the most important part. Because if it doesn't have what you want to watch, everything else is moot.
The next thing that makes Hulu with Live TV so successful is that the Hulu with Live TV price is comparable to other options. It's exactly as much as YouTube TV and also as the much smaller (but still very capable) FuboTV. (Now's the perfect time to check out our YouTube TV vs. Hulu comparison.)
Third is that a subscription to Hulu with Live TV also includes the Hulu on-demand catalog. That means you also get series like The Handmaid's Tale , Pen15 , The Great and more. Or there's the excellent "FX on Hulu" line, which gets you all of FX's shows the day after they air on traditional TV. Plus all the other movies and series that Hulu has access to. (Yes, you can get Hulu With Live TV without the on-demand catalog, but you'll only be saving $1 a month. Just pay it.)
Plus, with Hulu now owned by Disney, you can include the service in the whole Disney bundle thing, which is pretty sweet (and evolving, but we'll explain more in a minute).
In other words, there's a lot going on with Hulu these days. Here's what you need to know.

What's the difference between Hulu and Hulu Live TV?
You have to think about Hulu as two separate things with mostly the same name. Hulu proper is the on-demand streaming service that has all kinds of movies and TV shows from a number of different places. Sometimes they're exclusive to Hulu — say, The Handmaid's Tale — and sometimes they pull from multiple studios.
Hulu also is where you'll find FX on Hulu, which is home to FX shows after the air on traditional TV. It's also where you'll find some truly excellent streaming exclusives like A Teacher , Devs and Mrs. America .
Hulu With Live TV is exactly what it sounds like — it's live TV, available through Hulu.
Does Hulu with Live TV have a free trial?
Yes, there is a Hulu with Live TV free trial. First you'll have to sign up for Hulu itself. But new and existing Hulu customers (who don't already have Hulu With Live TV) can try it free for seven days.
That free trial of Hulu with Live TV will get you full access to all of the live and on-demand channels, cloud-based DVR, and the full streaming library.
If you decide to cancel Hulu with Live TV before the end of the trial, your credit card won't be charged.
How much does Hulu with Live TV cost?
Hulu and Hulu with Live TV are available together for $64.99 a month.
With your subscription you can get more than 80 live channels (see the full list below), the ability to watch on two devices at one time, and the ability to record 50 hours of live TV onto cloud-based storage.
In addition to all the live channels, you'll also have access to the entire Hulu on-demand library for that same $64.99-a-month price. If you want to get rid of ads on the on-demand content, you'll pay $70.99 a month.
But a heads up, starting Dec. 21 Hulu with Live TV is adding Disney Plus and ESPN Plus to its service as standard, which in turn will also raise the monthly price by $5, so $69.99 and $75.99. Again, those prices won't take effect until Dec. 21.
- Hulu With Live TV: $64.99 a month
- Hulu With Live TV and no VOD ads: $70.99 a month
- Hulu/ESPN+/Disney+ Bundle With Live TV: $71.99 a month
- Hulu/ESPN+/Disney+ Bundle With Live TV and no VOD ads: $77.99 a month
How to sign up for Hulu or Hulu with Live TV
- In your favorite web browser, visit Hulu.com/live-tv.
- Choose whether you want Hulu without ads, or Hulu with ads or Hulu with Live TV.
- Enter email address, choose a strong password and feed Hulu your name and birthdate and gender.
- Click Continue, then enter your payment information. You can use a credit or debit card, or choose "Express Options" for PayPal or AMEX Express Checkout.
- Now choose any premium add-ons like HBO, Showtime, Cinemax or STARZ. (If you've chosen Hulu with Live TV, you also can choose from the live add-on options.)
And that's that. You can now start watching anything and everything on Hulu.
The Hulu/ESPN Plus/Disney Plus bundle
One of the best deals out there these days is the bundle that includes Hulu, Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. (All of those services are owned by Disney.) And you can still do that bundle in conjunction with Hulu with Live TV.
The bundle — including Hulu with Live TV — can be had for $71.99 a month, which is a really good deal considering it's just $7 a month more than if you get Hulu and Live TV on their own. If you want the bundle without ads on Hulu's on-demand content, it'll cost just $77.99 a month.
As we mentioned above though, starting Dec. 21 Disney Plus and ESPN Plus will automatically be a part of Hulu with Live TV. In fact, this will save subscribers who went for this current bundle deal $2 every month.
Can you get Hulu with Live TV without the Hulu on-demand catalog?
You can, but it's not really something we'd recommend — because you're not really going to save any money. The "Live TV Only" plan costs $63.99 a month, or exactly $1 a month less than the full smash.
In other words, get the on-demand catalog. It's definitely worth $12 a year.

What devices support Hulu with Live TV?
If you can watch Hulu, you can watch Hulu With Live TV. They're built into the same app. And that means that you can watch Hulu With Live TV on just about every modern piece of streaming hardware.
That includes on a web browser on a Mac or PC. That means you're good to go on an iPhone or Android Phone, or and iPad or Android tablet. You can watch Hulu With Live TV on Roku and Amazon Fire TV, or on Apple TV and Android TV. Chromecast and AirPlay work, too, as do Xbox and Nintendo Switch. Same goes for PlayStation 4. (And presumably PS5 at some point.)
Certain smart TVs are supported, too, including select models from Samsung, LG and Vizio.
Does Hulu With Live TV have live sports?
Perhaps you've seen the commercials? Yes, Hulu has live sports. That includes broadcast events like you'll find on ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC, plus live sports on networks like ESPN and FS1.
There also are games on ACC Network, SEC Network and the Big Ten network.
The only caveat here is that local and regional channels can vary depending on where you live, so you'll want to plug in your ZIP code with Hulu first to double check.
Can you record live TV on Hulu?
Yes. Hulu with Live TV comes with 50 hours of cloud DVR storage out of the box, so you can record up to that much before having to make some tough choices about which Real Housewives series has to go.
Or if you need even more cloud-based storage, you can go for the add-on, which increases that storage time by 300%.
