Looking to stream The Food Network online? Here’s a brief guide on how to access Food Network through digital platforms, including an option to enjoy FN content for free.
How to Watch The Food Network Without Cable
If you’re looking to watch Food Network without cable, you’ll want to get a subscription to one of these on-demand streaming services so you can start watching some of your favorite chefs online. (Note: While Discovery Plus and Max both host Food Network content, and some Discovery content is available on Max, Discovery Plus is its own, separate service. It won’t be included with a Max subscription, and comes with its own monthly fee).
Another way to stream Food Network is through a live TV streaming service that offers that channel in one of its plans. Three of our favorite such services for this are Philo, Sling TV, Hulu + Live TV. Below is a meltdown of pricing and free trial information for these cable alternatives.
Watch The Food Network on Discovery Plus
Discovery Plus is the streaming home for plenty of Food Network shows, and while it doesn’t offer the ability to live stream the channel, a Discovery Plus subscription still gives you on-demand access to over 190 Food Network shows, including classics like Ace of Cakes and Barefoot Contessa. Discovery Plus plans start at $5/month, but right now you can sign up for a 7-day free trial to the streamer.
Watch The Food Network on Max
Prime Video subscribers can get a 7-day free trial to Max to watch Food Network shows online. If you decide to keep the subscription, Max plans start at $9.99/month following the free trial for the Max Basic With Ads package.
Watch the Food Network on Philo
Philo is currently the cheapest live streaming TV service if you want to watch Food Network live without cable. While you won’t get sports channels, Philo users can get access to more than 70 live TV channels, plus on-demand movies and shows for just $28 a month. You can also test out the service with a 7-day free trial before committing to a subscription.
Watch The Food Network on Hulu + Live TV
You can also watch Food Network without traditional cable through a Hulu + Live TV subscription. We’re enthusiastic supporters of Hulu + Live TV for its comprehensive streaming package, where a single subscription of $82.99 per month provides access to over 95 live TV channels, the entire Hulu on-demand library, as well as ESPN+ and Disney+. Bonus: It comes with a three-day free trial.
Watch The Food Network on Sling TV
Sling is another budget-friendly choice for live TV streaming, and it offers Food Network within both its Sling Blue and Sling Orange packages. Starting at just $45.99 a month ($23 with Sling’s current deal, along with a free month of AMC+), Sling Orange includes a total of 35 channels, including eight exclusive sports and family channels.
How to Watch The Food Network Online for Free
Discovery Plus, Max, Philo, and Hulu + Live TV all offer free trials, which you can use to access Food Network livestreams for free for a limited time. Discovery Plus, Max, and Philo’s free trials last for seven days, and Hulu + Live TV’s lasts for three. All of these will let you watch Food Network for free — as long as you cancel before the trial ends — and make a great option for watching individual episodes online.
