Hulu + Live TV review

Hulu + Live TV makes the most sense for households that would subscribe to Disney+ and ESPN anyway. The main plan costs $99.99 a month and bundles 95+ live channels with the Hulu streaming library, Disney+ with ads and ESPN Select, while Live TV Only costs $98.99, so the apps cost just $1 more. Hulu says English Live TV plans also include the full ESPN Unlimited experience in the ESPN app, covering networks such as ESPN+, SEC Network and ACC Network. Local ABC, CBS, CW and FOX affiliates are carried in most cities, and select regional sports networks are available by ZIP code. Cloud DVR has unlimited storage, though recordings keep their ad breaks and you fast forward through them. Video reaches 1080p at 60fps with 5.1 surround sound on supported devices. The main limit is two screens at a time unless you add Unlimited Screens. Spanish speakers can choose Live TV Only Español at $28.99, with prices current for new subscribers since September 23, 2026.
