Oscars Live Stream: Watch the 74th Academy Awards for free

By

Which movie is going to dominate the 74th Academy Awards — or as they’re more commonly known, The Oscars — this year? Will the loud action-comedy Everything Everywhere All at Once clean up all 11 categories it was nominated for? Or will the quiet Banshees of Inisherin get all acting and writing awards this year? Fill out your Oscars 2023 prediction cards, crack open the booze, and get ready for some bad jokes: the 2023 Academy Awards are underway, and there’s a free Oscars 2023 live stream, so you can tune in without paying a penny.

Watch the Oscars Live Stream on FuboTV

FuboTV has ABC, and therefore will have the Oscars. FuboTV is one of our favorite live TV streaming services and always our go-to recommendation for streaming a single event. Why? Because there is a weeklong FuboTV free trial. If you sign up this weekend, you can watch the Oscars completely free and cancel before FuboTV charges you any money. We’re betting you won’t though, since it’s a great deal. The basic FuboTV plan will get you 145 channels for $75.

Watch the Oscars Live Stream on YouTube TV

YouTube TV is a great way to stream the Oscars this weekend, and it also has a free trial. You can get two free weeks of YouTube TV, which will get you over 100 channels, including ABC. After your free trial is over and you’re inevitably addicted to the service, the price is $55 per month for three months then $65 per month after that.

Watch the Oscars Live Stream on Sling TV

Sling TV is another great way to ditch your cable box. You get to choose between two packages, Sling TV Blue and Sling TV Orange. They each come with a different pack of channels, so you get to pay for only the type of content you’re interested in. The rules for watching the Oscars on ABC are actually a bit complicated. Sling TV only has the rights to stream ABC in these eight markets: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, KGO-TV San Francisco, Houston, Raleigh-Durham and Fresno. Make sure you make sure Sling TV has ABC in your area before you sign up. There’s no Sling TV free trial right now, but your first month will only be $20 thanks to a new subscriber deal.

Watch the Oscars Live Stream on Hulu with Live TV

Just this month, Hulu with Live TV dropped every local ABC affiliate owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group. They don’t broadcast a nation ABC channel, so that means ABC is only available on Hulu with Live TV in certain markets. It is possible, but make sure you check before you sign up. There isn’t a Hulu with Live TV free trial, so you’ll want to be positive you can watch the Oscars before you spend $70 on a month of the service.

Watch the Oscars Live Stream From Abroad with a VPN

If you’re not in the U.S. and want to make sure you can tune into the Oscars, here’s a simple answer: trick your internet into thinking you’re in the U.S. with one of the best VPN services, then watch it on ABC. We’d recommend pairing NordVPN and FuboTV together. NordVPN is the best VPN for streaming, and FuboTV has a free trial and the most straightforward relationship with ABC. Right now a two-year NordVPN plan is $6.69 per month after a 59% discount.

Watch the free F1 live stream

The 274th F1 World Championship is being aired for free in Austria and Luxembourg. This is great news for those in the countries, but not so great for residents traveling abroad who want to watch the action unfold live in their local language -- especially when it's free to watch at home. It's only fitting that an Austrian currently in the United States would want to watch the race in Austrian and not English, right? This is completely safe (and legal) to do with a VPN.
