How to Watch TNT Without Cable TV
AT&T TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV include TNT in its channel lineups. Each live TV service has no contracts, free trials and work on Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Apple TV, Google Chromecast with Google TV and other Android TV devices.
Stream TNT live without cable TV
Streaming TNT without a cable subscription is pretty easy these days.
It’s just a matter of choosing which live TV streaming service is the right fit.
My top pick right now is Sling TV because it’s the cheapest option at $35 per month. If you’re an NBA fan, you can add NBA TV for game coverage through the Sports Extra bundle for another $11 per month. That still makes Sling TV the lowest-priced option.
Sling TV has a free three-day trial with no obligations.
My runner-up pick is Hulu with Live TV because you’re getting many staples from a Comcast or Spectrum subscription, and a lot of other neat features you don’t have with cable.
A subscription costs $64.99 per month. You’ll get 50 hours of Cloud DVR, and unlimited access to Hulu’s on-demand library that people pay $5.99 per month for. You can look over Hulu’s Live TV channel package before subscribing.
Hulu has a free 7-day trial that works even if you already subscribe to its on-demand streaming service.
If Hulu isn’t for you, no worries.
This guide breaks down all of your options for live streaming TNT with Roku, Amazon Fire TV Stick (or Cube), Apple TV, Android TV, game consoles, iPhones and Android smartphones.
Nobody wants to be missing new episodes of Animal Kingdom or NBA basketball. The good news is you don’t have to. There are more ways to stream TNT than ever before, and your options are cheaper than paying Comcast, Spectrum or some other cable provider.
I will also show you what’s available on the TNT app, and the TNT website. If you’re looking for a way to binge watch a brand new show over the course of a week, you might want to try out a free trial from Sling TV or Hulu with Live TV.
What are the most popular shows on TNT?
Since TNT is focusing on original programming now, you can expect more appealing shows to crop up alongside in-demand sports like NBA games, college basketball and overflow from Major League Baseball.
Animal Kingdom, Claws and The Alienist were big hits on the original programming front. And TNT has had continued success on that front with Snowpiercer.
Can I stream TNT shows online?
Your best bet to watch full seasons of TNT shows, especially older ones, is through various streaming services.
Season 1 through 4 of Animal Kingdom is on Amazon Prime Video. Amazon Prime subscribers can watch every episode without any limits or commercials. Amazon has a 30-day free trial of Prime Video, so you could potentially binge watch your way through the series in a month.
Hulu on-demand is another way to watch full seasons of TNT shows for super cheap at $5.99 per month. You’ll find two seasons of Legends, seven seasons of Rizzoli & Isles and three seasons of Claws. Hulu has a free 30 day trial for its on-demand service.
Having access to the TNT app can be handy if you just missed an episode that aired. But I wouldn’t rely on it to get me everything I want.
The TNT app features live NBA games, and a few episodes from recent shows, but not full seasons. You will need some kind of pay-TV subscription from a cable TV or satellite provider to activate the TNT app. Live TV services such as Sling TV or Hulu + Live TV don’t currently support activating the TNT app.

You’re getting 65+ live channels and 50 hours of Cloud DVR for $64.99 per month. You can also sign in to about 38 apps, some of which give you live streams of channels.
