Stream SNL Live Online
While you can watch NBC for free using a TV antenna, below are some ways to stream SNL live as it airs. For more information on watching NBC shows see our guide: how to watch NBC.
Peacock
I recommend the Peacock Premium plan for SNL fans. The service is $4.99 per month and allows you to watch the latest SNL episode live and on-demand. It also provides access to every season of SNL on-demand. It’s your best option to watch old and new episodes of SNL. The service streams all 47 past seasons of SNL and you can watch new episodes as they air live. Once you subscribe, you can watch Peacock on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android, iOS, and more. Read more on Peacock in our guide to streaming on Peacock.
Hulu Live TV
Hulu not only offers its on-demand service but live-streaming as well. They offer your live local NBC channel in nearly all markets along with cable TV and broadcast networks. To see if live NBC is available in your area, you can use this tool: Hulu Live TV Channels by Zip code. The Hulu Live TV plan provides a live stream of NBC along with 60 other channels for $69.99 per month. If you are looking for just past seasons of SNL, the Hulu On-Demand service has SNL seasons 1-5 and seasons 30-46 at a much cheaper cost of $6.99 per month with a 30-day Free Trial.
