Everything about streaming, cable, and on-demand services
Fresh TVProz guides for channel numbers, streaming availability, provider packages, sports networks, and on-demand viewing.
You do not need cable or a live TV subscription to watch real television channels. An antenna gets you the major networks in full quality for a one-off cost, free ad-supported services like Pluto TV and Tubi run hundreds of live channels, and browser tools let you watch broadcasts from anywhere in the world. Here is what each one actually gets you, and where each one falls down.
Read morePhilo carries around 70 live channels for $25 a month, or $33 on Bundle+ with HBO Max, AMC+ and discovery+ included. It is the cheapest live TV service in the country because it refuses to carry sports, local channels and major cable news. Here is every channel and who it genuinely suits.
Read moreMonday Night Football lives on ESPN, but that is only part of the answer. Ten of the seventeen 2026 games are also simulcast free on ABC, and a third version with Peyton and Eli Manning runs on ESPN2. One game, three channels, and which ones you get depends on the week. Here is how to tell them apart and find each on your provider.
Read moreThere is no single football channel. The NFL sells its rights by time slot, so the day of the week tells you the network. Thursday is Prime Video, Sunday afternoons are CBS and Fox, Sunday night is NBC and Monday is ESPN. Here is the full decoder, why regional blackouts happen, and how to watch most of the season free.
Read moreNBC is a local station, not a national cable channel, so there is no single number that works everywhere. Most markets put it on 4, 5, 10 or 11 over the air, and it is free with an antenna. Here are the numbers for the largest markets, and a straight answer on what Peacock does and does not replace.

It is also free over the air. Here is how to find your local ABC number, the numbers in the largest markets, and which streaming services actually carry your local ABC.
Read moreNASCAR is the hardest sport on television to find, because the 2026 Cup Series is split across four different broadcasters. Fox opened the year, Prime Video and TNT took the middle, and NBC and USA Network are carrying the final 14 races to the championship. Here is today's race and its channel, the full remaining schedule, and why practice and qualifying are on completely different channels from the race itself.
Read moreBalls Up is not on any TV channel, because it is not a TV show. It is a 2026 comedy film starring Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser, and it streams on Prime Video. Here is where to watch it, why nothing shows up in your TV guide, and a method that works for finding any film that seems to have no channel.
Read moreA Roku TV has a built-in tuner, so an antenna works with it. You need internet once for initial setup, but after that live antenna channels do not require a connection, though the program guide does. Roku streaming players like the Streaming Stick and Ultra have no tuner at all, so an antenna cannot plug into them. A recent Roku update broke offline antenna viewing on some TVs and Roku says a fix is rolling out.
