Watch New Episodes of Rebel Live
New episodes of Rebel air every Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on ABC. If you don’t want to wait a day to watch new episodes on Hulu On-Demand, the following options are in our guide to watching ABC without cable and will let you watch new episodes when they air on ABC.
Watch New Episodes Of Rebel Free
There are two free methods to watch new Rebel episodes if you don’t have cable. You can use a TV antenna if you live close enough to an ABC broadcast tower or stream ABC live with the free streaming service Locast. Locast streams the local ABC network live in over 42% of US households, and it is 100% free. You can even watch Locast using a streaming device. Locast supports Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, and Android TV.
Update: On September 1st, Locast lost a significant battle in court against the major broadcast networks. The Networks argued Locast "must secure the consent of the broadcasters to retransmit the broadcast signals." Locast defense claimed they qualified for a copyright-law exemption available to nonprofits. US District Court for the Southern District of New York found that Locast is not eligible for an exemption because it uses donations from viewers to fund its expansion into new TV markets. In response to the court loss, Locast said it was suspending its TV service on 9/2/2021.
You can read more in our review of Locast. You can try their service by downloading Locast to your favorite supported streaming device or on their website.
The only problem is you have to watch the show when it airs. There isn’t a way to watch on-demand through locast.
