Do you want to watch Hallmark Channel but don’t want to pay for an expensive cable TV or satellite package? Well, you can watch Hallmark Channel right now for less than $10 per month! All you need is an internet connection and a subscription to a streaming service that carries Hallmark Channel.
Want a Quick Answer: Live and on-demand Hallmark Channel is now available through NBC’s Peacock streaming service. You can sign up for Peacock’s premiere plan for $5.99 per month. Another affordable way to watch Hallmark Channel is with Frndly TV at just $6.99 after a 1-week free trial. Philo is the next most affordable at $25 per month and provides many more popular channels than Frndly, but both services lack sports and cable news. DIRECTV STREAM, Hulu Live TV, FuboTV, and YouTube TV provide an experience closer to cable TV with cable news, sports, and local channels, but they are priced around $65-$70 per month. Sling TV and Vidgo also provide Hallmark Channel in their lineup at a price point and channel selection in between streaming services like Philo and services like DIRECTV STREAM.
Read on to learn more about these services that allow you to stream Hallmark Channel live online without needing a cable TV or satellite subscription.
Where to Stream Hallmark Channel
You can watch the same Hallmark Channel you see on cable TV over the internet using live streaming services. These services carry the same channels you see on cable at a more affordable price with no device fees. You can even use these services to stream Hallmark on your TV with Roku, Fire TV, or other streaming devices. You can also watch on your mobile device or web browser if you like.
While we cover every streaming service that carries Hallmark Channel in this article, I wanted to show you how easy it is to stream Hallmark Channel. Here are the steps.
- Try a free trial to Frndly TV or other streaming service mentioned in this article that offers Hallmark Channel
- Download the streaming service’s app to your supported device (iPhone, Android phone, Roku, Fire Stick, etc.)

It’s that easy. Read on to learn more about the various live TV streaming services that carry Hallmark Channel.
Streaming Services with Hallmark Channel
The streaming services that carry Hallmark Channel are Peacock, Frndly TV, Philo, Sling TV, Vidgo, FuboTV, DIRECTV STREAM, and YouTube TV. With them, you can watch Hallmark Channel, just as if you had cable. Information on those services and how to sign up for each is listed below.
When it comes to which to choose I would break the decision into the following categories:
Watching Hallmark Channel Affordably: If you are just looking for Hallmark Channel then a budget service like Frndly TV starts at $6.99 per month. The the most notable channels on the service aside from Hallmark Channel are A&E, History Channel, Lifetime, and Hallmark. If you need more than Frndly offers, Philo starts at $25 per month and adds networks like AMC, Paramount Network, Discovery, HGTV, MTV, Nickelodeon, and more.
You want Hallmark Channel, but still want News and Sports: If you want to stream Hallmark Channel on streaming services that are more comparable to a cable package, then I would look at DIRECTV STREAM or YouTube TV. Those services will have most of the channels you are looking for. DIRECTV STREAM has the most robust channel offering, but the price is $74.99 per month, compared with YouTube TV’s $72.99 per month.
I break down these options and more in the sections below. To watch Hallmark Channel through these services, download the app to one of their supported streaming devices and Hallmark Channel will be available in their on-screen guide.
