How To Watch TNT Without Cable

You don’t need cable to watch TNT. You can watch TNT live and on-demand using any of the following TV streaming services: Sling TV, Hulu Live TV, AT&T TV, YouTube TV, and TVision.

These services will let you watch TNT Shows like The Alienist, Good Behavior, and more as they air or even on-demand. TNT is also an important channel for basketball fans as they air nationally televised NBA games. Read on to learn more about the different ways you can watch TNT without cable.

The Cheapest Way To Watch TNT

Sling TV is the most affordable way to watch TNT. TNT is a part of both the “orange” and “blue” package, each costing $30 a month. Sling offers a 3-day free trial with its service, and if you cancel service within the trial, you won’t be charged. If you decide to keep Sling after the free trial, you can cancel any time as there are no contracts or long term commitments.

Sling TV provides a live stream of TNT, so you can watch exactly what would be airing on TNT, just as if you had cable. Some episodes of its shows are available on-demand, as well.

We recommend picking up the “Blue” package over the “Orange” unless you want ESPN and other Disney Owned channels. The Blue channel package tends to have an overall better channel selection and stream to 3 devices simultaneously. The Orange plan only allows one stream at a time. You could opt to subscribe to both plans for $45 per month.

Sling TV is available on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, and more, so it’s not a problem to enjoy TNT on a TV, tablet, computer, or other smart devices.  There are more channels available on Sling TV than what I’ve mentioned here. To find out more check out this detailed review of Sling TV.

Other Streaming Services With TNT

While Sling TV is the cheapest way to watch TNT without cable, there are a few other services that also carry TNT in their channel lineup.

Watch TNT on Hulu

Personally, use Hulu to watch live TNT online. Previously Hulu was known for its vast on-demand streaming library. However, they also offer Hulu Live TV service, which includes live TNT Streaming and most top channels typically found on cable. Hulu Live TV starts at $64.99 after a 7-day free trial and includes the following features:

• The basic package comes with 50 hours of cloud DVR storage. (Upgrades available)

Not only will you be able to watch TNT live, but the included Hulu on-demand service will allow you to stream past seasons of TNT shows like Claws, Rizzoli & Isles, Good Behavior, and more. You can check out Hulu’s TNT On-demand page to see what’s available. You don’t have to subscribe to the live TV service to have access to Hulu’s On-Demand Streaming library. Those plans start at only $5.99 per month after a 30-day free trial.

With Hulu Live TV you can watch TNT on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast, and more. See our review of Hulu for more information.

Watch TNT for Free

Four of the streaming services that carry TNT offer a free trial. You can take advantage of those and watch free TNT for almost a month or longer if you use different email addresses. Let’s look at the free trials available.

• Sling TV – You can watch TNT free for 3-days with this free trial.
• Hulu Live TV – offers a 7-day free trial to Hulu Live TV
• YouTube TV – offers aa 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 TNT free. If you get creative with email addresses and payment methods, you could watch free TNT even longer. Doing this would also let you test out the various live TV streaming services to see which one you like the best.

Stream TNT On-Demand

Many of the services mentioned above will also offer TNT shows On-Demand. Hulu is the best of the service for TNT on-demand due to it’s included On-Demand library. This feature offers more past episodes of shows on TNT and other networks.

Unfortunately, the TNT app requires a login from a cable provider. Unlike most other network apps, the TNT app does not accept streaming services credentials even if that service carries the TNT network. As I noted earlier in the article, Hulu’s TNT On-demand page is a good source for watch TNT shows on-demand.
