In this post I’ll show you how to to stream TNT without cable. I’ll go over all of the live TV streaming services that include TNT and the advantages of each. I’ll let you know which is the least expensive, and show you which devices you’ll need to watch, so you know which Live TV streaming service is best for you.

4 Cheapest Ways To Watch TNT Live

Sling TV is the Least Expensive Streaming Option

The most affordable way to watch TNT live is by subscribing to Sling TV, which starts at $40 per month for the Sling Orange plan or Sling Blue plan. For more channels, you can also watch TNT on the Sling Orange & Blue plan, though that would increase the price to $55 per month. Sling also offers deals regularly so these prices may drop even lower.

Sling offers three live TV streaming plans

• Sling Orange ($40/mo) – 31 channels including TNT, TBS, ESPN, and Disney
• Sling Blue ($40/mo) – 39 Channels including TNT, TBS, NFL Network, FS1, FX
• Sling Orange & Blue ($55/mo) – 43 Channels including all of the above

Each of these plans includes a different mix of channels, so you can pick the plan that is best for you. 

The good news is that each of these plans includes TNT (and TBS), so just choose the plan that contains the other channels you’re looking for.

One important thing to note about Sling TV is that local channels are not included in any of the three plans, so you’ll need to watch them on an HD antenna or look to a more expensive service if local channels are a deal breaker for you.

Aside from the channels, the biggest difference between Sling Orange and Sling Blue is that Sling Blue channels allow up to three simultaneous streams, while Sling Orange allows just one. If you’re planning on watching TNT on different devices at the same time then Blue might be a better option.

With all of their plans, Sling TV includes 50 hours of DVR storage so you can record your favorite shows and watch them back on any device.

Sling is available on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, iOS, Android, Mac, PC, Xbox, and most Smart TVs.

YouTube TV

The next cheapest option to watch TNT is YouTube TV, which offers over 100 channels of live TV for $72.99 per month.

Of all the streaming options I’ve tested, I found YouTube TV’s interface to be the easiest to navigate so if you like simplicity YouTube TV might be the right option for you.

YouTube TV includes TNT as well as many popular channels like TBS, ESPN, FS1, FS2, NFL Network, NBA TV, USA Network, HGTV, and more. It also includes unlimited DVR storage which can be watched on any device.

One YouTube TV feature that I really like is that you can share subscriptions across 6 different accounts, with each account having its own personal unlimited DVR. It should be noted however that channels can only be watched on up to 3 devices simultaneously.

YouTube TV has also been offering a lot of deals recently, trying to gain new subscribers following their Sunday Ticket acquisition, so keep an eye out to save even more money.

YouTube TV TV is available on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, iOS, Android, Mac, PC, Playstation, Xbox, and most Smart TVs.

DirecTV Stream

Another option for streaming TNT is DirecTV Stream, which offers up to 140 channels starting at $74.99 per month.

Of all the options I’ve discussed, DirecTV Stream’s channel plans include the most sports channels including standards like ESPN, FS1, FS2, NBA TV, and NHL Network, but also include regional sports networks in many markets so you can watch all the games of your favorite NBA, NHL and MLB teams where available.

Although DirecTV Stream can get pricey – their most expensive plan is $110 per month – it may be worth it to you if you watch a lot of TV, especially sports and movie channels.

What sets DirecTV Stream apart is that they allow unlimited simultaneous streams at your home, so no fighting over the TV. If you’re out of the house you can stream up to 3 devices at the same time. DirecTV Stream also includes unlimited DVR.

You can watch DirecTV Stream on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, iOS, Android, Mac, PC, and most Smart TVs.

Hulu + Live TV

The next way to get TNT is Hulu + Live TV, which includes over 85 channels of live TV for $76.99 per month.

While Hulu’s monthly fee is a pretty large price jump up from the other services, Hulu Live does include a lot of benefits including local channels and unlimited DVR storage.

Hulu Live TV also includes Disney+ and ESPN+ when you subscribe, which would cost $21 per month if you subscribed to them separately. This is a great option for both sports fans and families with young kids (or just enjoy Disney programming).

Aside from TNT, Hulu + Live TV includes many popular channels like TBS, ESPN, FS1, NFL Network, HGTV, TLC, and History. These channels can be watched on up to 2 simultaneous devices at one time.

Hulu + Live TV is available on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, iOS, Android, Mac, PC, Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and most Smart TVs.
