The 147th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show takes place on May 8-9 this year. I will explain how to watch both days of the Westminster Dog Show even if you don’t have cable. Coverage will be split between FS1 and FS2 throughout the day. Both channels are available to watch live on FuboTV (free trial), Hulu Live TV (sign up), DIRECTV STREAM (free trial), and YouTube TV (Free Trial.) These services will have the channels you need to watch the entire weekend, and I go into the details of using them later in the article.

- DIRECTV STREAM – Offers a free trial
- fuboTV – Offers a 1-week free trial
