Bruce Wayne isn’t the only billionaire playboy with a knack for fighting crime. After being shipwrecked for five years, Arrow‘s Oliver Queen returns to his home of Starling City, packing some serious daddy issues in tow. He works out these new demons as a masked vigilante, who slings his arrows of justice at the greedy 1-percenters using their wealth to crush their fellow man. Whether you’re already hooked or just getting started, here’s everything you need to know about how to watch Arrow online for free.
Arrow also butts heads with popular DC Comics baddies like Deathstroke and the Creature Commandos. The end of season 6 saw Queen turning himself into the FBI and getting locked in the slammer. Luckily, he was able to get released in time for a crossover with Supergirl and The Flash, which will help tee up this year’s small screen cinematic explosion Crisis on Infinite Earths.

How to stream Arrow
All the big-name, live TV streaming services let you try their services for one week, so you can watch Arrow online for free. There are variations among them, though, especially when it comes to the local channels offered. Depending on which service you choose, the availability of the CW in your area might vary. The links below offer a quick primer on what channels you’ll get with each service.
Arrow on Hulu with Live TV
Hulu Live TV is a great way to stream live TV, as it comes with access to Hulu’s massive library of on-demand content. You’ll be able to choose from movies, shows, and Hulu’s original programming, and keep up with what’s new each month. Hulu plans even include a bundle option where you can access Disney+ and ESPN+ along with Hulu.
Hulu Live TV sets you up with local channels and has a broad spectrum of entertainment and sports channels to review, including the full suite of ESPN channels, Cartoon Network, FX, HGTV, and even deep cuts like National Geographic and Syfy, and of course, the CW where you can stream Arrow.
Arrow 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 Arrow, you’ll want to dock in at the FuboTV Standard level.
Arrow on YouTube TV
The YouTube TV channel list includes local channels, sports options including ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, FS2, and NBA TV, and plenty to keep kids (and kids at heart) occupied, including Disney Channel and its companion channels, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network—all in one easy-to-access package. It even comes with a few Spanish-language channels like Telemundo and NBC Universo. YouTube add-ons include HBO Max, Showtime, and Starz. YouTube TV packages have some advantages over their competitors, including a generous DVR and multiple screens package. From one account, each user can create an individual profile to track favorite shows.

Arrow on AT&T TV Now

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 Arrow, get in at the AT&T TV Now Plus tier to stream it.
