Surprisingly, only two of the six major live TV streaming services offer a Weather Channel live stream. That means if you use Sling TV, YouTube TV, Hulu Live TV, or Vidgo, you’re out of luck. Here’s what you need to know to watch the Weather Channel online.
Weather Channel on FuboTV
FuboTV started as a streaming service geared toward sports fans, but it’s evolved into a broadly-appealing option with entertainment and news options alongside its robust sports choices. Depending on the package, you can access as many as 180+ FuboTV channels. If you’re looking to be entertained, Bravo, IFC, MTV, and VH1 are options even at Fubo’s most basic tier.
The Fubo channel list still includes plenty of sports, including the Fubo Sports Network, which has original programming mixing sports and humor. The FuboTV cost starts at $54.99 a month, and with Disney Media favorites like ABC, ESPN, and the Disney Channel now on board, some who were on the fence about Fubo are giving it another look.
To watch Weather Channel live stream, you’ll want to dock in at the FuboTV Standard level.

If you’re already looking to AT&T for your wireless needs, you might consider AT&T TV Now to cover streaming for you. AT&T TV Now channels start with Plus and Max, which even include HBO. Then, AT&T plans expand from there, approaching cable selection and pricing with AT&T TV Now’s biggest packages.
AT&T streaming also comes with Cloud DVR, letting you record up to 20 hours of TV per month. If you’re looking for Weather Channel, get in at the AT&T TV Now Choice tier to stream it.
