Over-the-air antenna
Local ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC channels are broadcast free over the air. A one-time antenna purchase can pick them up in many areas, depending on distance from the transmitters and obstructions. Many major games air on these networks.
Free ad-supported channels
Several services offer free, ad-supported streaming, including some live channels. Content changes often and big live sports are usually not included, so treat them as a supplement.
Libraries and local sources
Some public libraries lend antennas or offer free streaming through partners. Check yours.
A note on free streams
Websites and apps that offer “free” pay-TV channels or live games without a license are unlicensed. We do not list them. They can infect your device or collect your card details.
