Which movie is going to dominate the 74th Academy Awards, or as they are more commonly known, the oscars – this year? Will the raucous action comedy Everything Everywhere All at Once make it to all 11 categories for which it was nominated? Or will the quiet Banshees of Inisherin get all the acting and writing awards this year? Fill out your Oscars 2023 prediction cards, crack open the drink, and get ready for some bad jokes: The Academy Awards 2023 are underway, and there’s a free live stream of the Oscars 2023, so you can tune in without paying a dime.
Watch the live stream of the Oscars on FuboTV
FuboTV has ABC, and therefore will have the Oscars. FuboTV is one of our favorite live TV streaming services and always our recommendation for streaming a single event. Because? Because there is a one week free trial of FuboTV. If you sign up this weekend, you can watch the Oscars completely free and cancel before FuboTV charges you any money. We bet you won’t, though, as it’s a great deal. FuboTV’s basic plan will get you 145 channels for $75.
Watch the live stream of the Oscars on YouTube TV
YouTube TV is a great way to stream the Oscars this weekend, and it also has a free trial. You can get two free weeks of YouTube TV, which will give you more than 100 channels, including ABC. After your free trial ends and you inevitably get addicted to the service, the price is $55 per month for three months and then $65 per month after that.
Watch the live stream of the Oscars on Sling TV
Sling TV is another great way to ditch your cable box. You can choose between two packages, Sling TV Blue and Sling TV Orange. Each comes with a different package of channels, so you can only pay for the type of content you’re interested in. The rules for watching the Oscars on ABC are a bit complicated. Sling TV only has the rights to broadcast ABC in these eight markets: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, KGO-TV San Francisco, Houston, Raleigh-Durham, and Fresno. Make sure Sling TV has ABC in your area before signing up. There’s no free trial of Sling TV right now, but your first month will only cost $20 thanks to a new subscription offer.
Watch the live stream of the Oscars on Hulu with Live TV
Just this month, Hulu with Live TV dropped all local ABC affiliates owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group. They do not carry a national ABC channel, which means ABC is only available on Hulu with Live TV in certain markets. It is possible, but be sure to check before signing up. There’s no free trial of Hulu with Live TV, so you’ll want to be sure you can watch the Oscars before spending $70 on a month of the service.
Watch the Oscars live stream from abroad with a VPN
If you’re not in the US and want to make sure you can tune in to the Oscars, here’s a simple answer: trick your internet into thinking you’re in the US with one of the best VPN services, then watch it on ABC. We recommend pairing NordVPN and FuboTV together. NordVPN is the best VPN for streaming, and FuboTV has a free trial and the most direct relationship with ABC. Right now, a two-year NordVPN plan is $6.69 per month after a 59% discount.
