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 a strong live TV streaming service option in a competitive market.
Members can choose between two core plans: live TV with ad-supported Hulu and Disney Plus for $90 a month or live TV with ad-free Hulu and Disney Plus for $100 a month. The prices increased on October 21, 2025, up from their previous $83 a month and $96 a month rates, respectively. Both plans also include an ESPN Plus (now ESPN Select via the new ESPN streaming service) 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. There's also a third option to sign up for Live TV Only for $89 a month, a plan that excludes Disney Plus and the Hulu streaming library. 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. It's important to 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 95 channels, along with Hulu's on-demand library and access to Disney Plus and ESPN Select. 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.
Hulu + Live TV channels
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 DirecTV and Sling 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 Select.
Exact availability varies by location and might change throughout the year, so it's worth double-checking your line-up before subscribing, but these live channels are all included in all Hulu + Live TV plans if your area supports them:

Isn't the Hulu app being merged into the Disney+ app?
Yes, on-demand Hulu content is now also available in the Disney+ app, and this part of Hulu's app will be shut down in 2026. However, live TV remains separate and still lives in the Hulu app at this time.
The path remains unclear for the future availability of Hulu + Live TV access, particularly regarding a dedicated app, once the on-demand content side is shut down.
Possible plans down the line include building it into the Disney Plus app, which would make the most sense, especially as Disney+ access is included with all of Hulu's live TV bundles. Integration with Fubo has also popped up a few times.
