Hulu + Live TV Channel List
Hulu + Live TV is a live TV streaming service available only in the United States and US territories. It does not assign cable-style channel numbers, so the channels below are listed by name, category, and package. Where a channel also airs on cable or satellite, the providers that carry it are shown so you can compare before switching.
Plans & what differs
Every Hulu + Live TV subscription carries the same channel lineup. The choice you make at signup is the ad experience for on-demand viewing, not which channels you get. What sets it apart from other live TV services is what comes attached to the live channels.
- 95+ channels, the table below
- Local ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and The CW in most US markets, with PBS where available
- Unlimited cloud DVR included
- Hulu's full on-demand library of series and movies
- Disney+ streaming access
- ESPN's streaming library for live events and originals
Local stations depend on your ZIP code, so they appear here in prose instead of as table rows. Three optional channel packs (the Sports, Entertainment, and Español add-ons) are listed in their own sections below. Premium app add-ons such as HBO Max, Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, STARZ, and Cinemax deliver app content rather than linear channels, so they are not table rows either. See Hulu + Live TV for current pricing and ad-tier options.

Common questions
What is the difference between Hulu and Hulu + Live TV?
Hulu on its own is an on-demand app for series and movies, with no live channels. Hulu + Live TV is the upgrade that adds the 95+ live channels in the table above, local stations for your ZIP code, and unlimited DVR. It includes everything regular Hulu has, so you don't pay for both, and the subscription also comes with Disney+ and ESPN streaming access.
Did Hulu + Live TV merge with Fubo? Is it going away?
The corporate merger happened, the service did not change. Disney combined its Hulu + Live TV business with Fubo in October 2025 and owns about 70% of the resulting company, but the two remain separate services with their own apps, lineups, and pricing. You still subscribe to and watch Hulu + Live TV in the Hulu app, and nothing about the channel list on this page depends on Fubo.
How does the lineup compare to YouTube TV?
The two services fill each other's gaps. Hulu + Live TV carries the A+E Networks family (A&E, History, Lifetime) plus MLB Network and NFL Network in its base lineup, all of which YouTube TV lacks. In the other direction, Hulu + Live TV has never carried the AMC Networks channels (AMC, BBC America, IFC, SundanceTV, WE tv); if AMC matters to you, Philo and Sling TV both carry it for far less.
Where is MSNBC?
It's in the table under its new name. MSNBC became MS NOW in late 2025 when the channel was spun off from NBCUniversal, and Hulu + Live TV carries it in the base lineup. Same channel, new branding.
Does Hulu + Live TV have NFL RedZone?
Yes, through the Sports Add-on listed below, which pairs it with Tennis Channel, FanDuel Racing, Racer Network, Outdoor Channel, and Sportsman Channel. NFL Network itself needs no add-on; it's in the base lineup.
