Sling TV Blue is our top overall pick because the platform is the most cost effective way to watch TNT.

However, because TNT carries premier “capstone” sporting events, like the Stanley Cup Finals, for leagues, like the NHL, MLB, and NBA, whose regular seasons air predominately on regional sports networks (RSN), we recommend choosing a streaming service to watch TNT based on your local RSN. For example, if you live in a market with a Bally Sports RSN, DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” will be the best bet for watching TNT. In markets like Chicago, and the Bay Area, that feature an NBC Sports RSN, YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV are our top picks.

Why TNT is a must have for sports fans

Turner Sports has become a major player in the world of sports media in recent years, stacking contract after contract for the rights to air marquee sporting events with leagues, like the NHL, MLB and NBA. TNT also has the rights to cover the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and men’s and women’s U.S. soccer starting in 2023. As such, TNT has become a must have channel for sports fans, and the good news is you don’t need a cable TV contract to watch live sports on TNT and TBS.

Can I watch TNT on DIRECTV STREAM?

DIRECTV STREAM carries TNT in the base package, plus offers an upgrade to the “Choice” package to gain access to the YES Network, MASN, and the Bally Sports RSNs.

Can I watch TNT on Hulu + Live TV?

Yes, you can watch TNT on Hulu + Live TV in the base package. We recommend Hulu for watching TNT in markets with an NBC Sports RSN, like Chicago, Philadelphia, the Bay Area, Washington D.C., and Boston.

Can I watch TNT on Sling TV?

Yes, you can watch both TNT and ESPN on Sling TV Orange.

Sling Orange is the most cost effective way to live stream TNT.

Can I watch TNT on YouTube TV?

Yes, you can watch TNT on YouTube TV in the base package. We recommend YouTube TV for watching TNT in markets with an NBC Sports RSN, like Chicago, Philadelphia, the Bay Area, Washington D.C., and Boston
