You wouldn’t think grown adults bickering about their professional capabilities and tearing each other’s accomplishments down would make for great entertainment, but 15 seasons of Love It or List It proves otherwise.
Like most design shows, Love It or List It starts with a family facing a dilemma: their current home does not meet their unique needs. Interior designer Hilary Farr and real estate agent David Visentin compete with a sibling-like rivalry to convince the family to renovate their current space or sell it and find a house that’s move-in ready elsewhere. It’s kind of like if your standard makeover design show and House Hunters had a baby.
Since 2008, the show has run a whopping 130 episodes. While design trends have changed in the past 11 years, there’s still something entertaining about the competitive nature, which makes it a timeless binge-watch.
Here’s how to watch Love It or List It online for free.

How to watch Love It or List It for free
Love It or List It is available on several of the major TV streaming services, so how do you choose the one that’s best for you? We recommend comparing the price, the included channels, and the compatible devices for streaming.
If you just want to watch Love It or List It for free, you’re in luck because every service includes a complimentary one-week trial. That’s cheaper than any renovation budget Hillary Farr’s ever seen.

- Devices: Amazon Fire TV, Android Fire Stick, Apple TV, Android TV, Roku, Xbox One, Google Chromecast, Oculus Go, and iOS and Android devices

Sling TV is well known for its live TV streaming services, but it offers thousands of titles on-demand, including all 78 episodes of Love It or List It as well as other HGTV shows. There are two cable packages based on your particular needs (Sling Orange and Sling Blue), each costing $25 per month. Either individual package includes HGTV, but you’re getting significantly more TV with Sling Blue (42 channels) than Sling Orange (28 channels). If you want the best bang for your buck, we recommend the upgrade to Sling Orange + Blue for just $15 more at $40 monthly. It’s an especially good choice if you or someone else in the house is a sports fan since you get all the top channels like three ESPN networks, FS1 and FS2, NBCSN, NFL Network, and more.

Hulu’s VOD service has the cheapest monthly fee for Love It or List It fans, but Hulu with Live TV gives you the best of both worlds: access to on-demand content and live TV streaming, including local networks. That way you can tune in when HGTV runs its popular Love It or List It marathons and watch your favorite Chip and Jo moments anytime you want. There are 60 channels to choose from, including The CW, ABC, ESPN, and more. You’ll also get tons of great movies and original programs exclusively available on Hulu.

You get a sizable amount of other entertainment options, like AMC, Comedy Central, and two Lifetime channels, just to name a few. It is notably lacking in sports or news channels though.
