You don’t need cable to watch Olympic Channel. You can watch the Olympic Channel on any of the following streaming services: Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, fuboTV, DIRECTV Stream, and YouTube TV. These services provide the same Olympic Channel you find on cable and satellite TV.
Streaming Services with Olympic Channel
As with most content on cable today, there are alternate ways to enjoy the channels and shows you want without forking over mountains of cash to a cable TV provider. Here are a few of the cable subscription-free ways you can stream Olympic Channel online.
Watch Olympic Channel on Hulu
Hulu provides a way you can stream live Olympic Channel. Previously Hulu was known for its vast on-demand streaming library. However, they also offer a Hulu Live TV service for $64.99 a month that streams the Olympic Channel along with over 70 other channels live. Hulu Live TV also includes the following features:
- The basic package comes with 50 hours of cloud DVR storage. (Upgrades available)

Olympic Channel on Sling TV
Olympic Channel is one of the many channels on Sling TV. Olympic Channel is not part of Sling’s “orange” package but is available in its “blue” package for $35 per month if you get the $11 per month “Sports Extra” add-on channel pack. Sling TV provides a live stream of the Olympic Channel, so you can watch what would be airing on Olympic Channel just as if you had cable. Furthermore, Sling TV’s cloud DVR provides a method of recording your favorite Olympic Channel shows.
Sling TV is available on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, and more, so it’s not a problem to enjoy Olympic Channel on a TV, tablet, computer, or other smart devices. There are more channels available on Sling TV than what I’ve mentioned here.

Watch Olympic Channel for Free
Four of the streaming services that carry Olympic Channel offer a free trial. You can take advantage of those and watch free Olympic Channel for almost a month or longer if you use different email addresses. Let’s look at the free trials available.
- FuboTV – offers a 1-week free trial.

As long as you cancel before the free trial expires, you won’t be charged. You can cycle the free trials to get nearly a month of Olympic Channel free.
