Best Free TV Streaming Services: Tubi, Sling Freestream, Pluto TV and More

Tubi and Pluto are among the top choices if you need a break from Netflix, HBO Max and others.

Paid streaming subscriptions are bumping up their rates while offering a handful of cheaper tiers. Netflix, HBO Max, Disney Plus and Hulu offer great movies and shows, but you don’t have to stay locked in to meet your entertainment needs. There are a bunch of free alternatives to the big streamers, and we’ve gone through the testing and research to find the best ones for you.

Many of these services are ad-supported, so you won’t be able to skip commercials on these platforms. Most have older shows and movies, sort of like basic cable reruns. Some network sites (including ABC) won’t let you stream every show unless you’re a paid cable or satellite subscriber, but there are services like Sling Free, which offers a free tier in addition to paid plans.

Here’s a look at some of the best free streaming sites, which are all legal ways to indulge your inner couch potato. Prefer movies? Check out these 10 free Netflix alternatives.

How we test streaming services

With more than 150 streaming services in existence — globally — it can be hard sifting through each brand and its offerings. We narrowed this list down based on several factors, including accessibility, popularity, on-demand content, live channels and reliability. We watched each service on a TV and mobile device to evaluate its user interface and channel roster.

These apps can be easily accessed on virtually any media player, smart TV, web browser or mobile device, and they offer a variety of content to suit genre preferences or age ranges. Because they’re free services, there’s added value for those that offer originals and live channels. When doing test runs of these services, we didn’t encounter problems with crashing, lag time or choppy live broadcasts, but your mileage may vary.

The Best PS5 Deal Sold Out On Black Friday, but It’s Back Ahead of Cyber Monday

This amazing PS5 Black Friday deal is back as an early Cyber Monday offer. It has already sold out once, so don’t miss your chance this time.

Black Friday deals kicked off a bit earlier this year, meaning buyers had more time to shop for great discounts. However, it also meant some of the hottest offers disappeared faster than ever. One of the most exciting gaming deals was a $100 price cut on the PlayStation 5 Slim digital edition. This deal already sold out once, but it’s back as an early Cyber Monday offer for $399 on Amazon. So, if you’ve been waiting to get a PS5, there’s no better time.

You can also get the version with a disc drive for $450, and the mighty PlayStation 5 Pro for $649. All of these are $100 off, so you can get a great deal regardless of your preference.

The disc‑free console is the cheapest option, but it means all your games will need to be downloaded. While digital discounts can go pretty far, physical games are nearly always cheaper if you know where to look. If you’d rather save a bit of money in the long run, then go for the disc drive version now.

Not only will you be able to play any old PS4 discs in your collection, but you’ll also be able to borrow games from friends and take advantage of discounts on physical titles at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop and more.

The PS5 Pro is the pinnacle of the PlayStation offerings and has more speed and power all‑around, making it ideal for those who only want the best.

If you decide to commit to Sony with a new console, then it’s definitely worth taking a look at all the best PlayStation deals for even more savings on games, headsets and controllers. You can save a lot of money if you can be patient with these things.

Why this deal matters

The PS5 doesn’t drop in price often, and this is an excellent discount on three different versions. Being able to save $100 across the Slim digital, Slim disc and Pro models is a rare opportunity. Whether you’re looking to get your very first PlayStation 5 or upgrade to the Pro, this is a fantastic chance to do so — especially since the Slim deal has already sold out once and may not linger for long.

If you’re quick, you can grab Apple’s AirPods 4 for $69, a budget-friendly deal that feels hard to pass up.

There were a lot of deals on your computer screen this Black Friday, some more exciting than the others. One of those was this AirPods 4 deal, which is still available on Amazon. If you’ve been waiting to buy new earbuds, pick up the entry-level AirPods 4 for just $69 right now (normally $129). This is a record low price.

If active noise cancellation is a must, you’ll be happy to see that the AirPods 4 with ANC are currently selling for $139 on Amazon (normally $179). This isn’t the lowest price we’ve seen — they were down to $100 on Black Friday — but it’s still a decent discount.

The Apple AirPods 4 are available in two formats. The non-ANC version usually runs $129, while the ANC model typically sells for $179. With this discount, you pay only $69 for the non-ANC model. These AirPods have been redesigned for a more comfortable fit. The Apple H2 chip allows for voice isolation whenever you have to take calls in a noisy environment. The AirPods 4 also offer personalized spatial audio and a battery life of up to 20 hours.

Why this deal matters

Apple makes superb audio gear, and the AirPods offer good sound quality and a comfortable fit for most people. «They may not be quite as cheap or as small as the AirPods 2, but they sound a lot better and have a lot more features,» says CNET audio expert David Carnoy, who thought $100 would be a good price for them.

The lower-priced AirPods lack noise-canceling features, but for just $69, this is a deal you should seriously consider.
