To choose the right streaming service, it helps to know which channels you get each month. In 2026, Hulu + Live TV offers over 95 channels, including local stations, national news, sports, family shows, and general entertainment.
The base bundle starts at $89.99 per month. With this, you get a live TV lineup similar to cable, plus full on-demand access to Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu’s original shows, as listed in Hulu’s official channel guides.

Understanding Local and Regional Sports Networks (RSNs)
Everyone gets national sports channels like ESPN and FS1, but Regional Sports Networks (RSNs) depend on where you live. Hulu + Live TV offers some NBC Sports RSNs, such as NBC Sports Bay Area, California, and Chicago, in their home regions.
However, some regional sports channels, like Bally Sports, FanDuel Sports Network affiliates, and YES Network, are not included in Hulu’s base channel lineup.
If you want to watch local MLB, NBA, or NHL games, check for regional blackout rules and local channel availability by entering your ZIP code on Hulu’s website before you subscribe.

Plan pricing tiers and ad preferences
Hulu + Live TV offers two main plans, depending on whether you want ads during on-demand viewing:
- Hulu + Live TV (with ads) costs $89.99 per month. You get the full live channel lineup, live TV DVR, and ad-supported access to Hulu and Disney+ on-demand shows.
- Hulu + Live TV (no ads) costs $95.99 per month. Live TV still has regular commercials, but this plan removes ads from most on-demand movies and shows on Hulu and Disney+.
Both plans include the same 95+ live channels, live sports, and access to ESPN+ (which always has ads because of live rights agreements).
DVR and Device Features
Every plan comes with Unlimited Cloud DVR, so you can record live TV and keep it for up to nine months. You can stream on two devices at once, or upgrade to the Unlimited Screens Add-On ($9.99/month) to watch on as many devices as you want at home.
Users also get the live guide personalization feature. It is an integrated Hulu interface that allows users to filter channels by categories such as Sports, News, or Movies, and mark top channels as “Favorites” to assemble a personalized live grid.
