Watch 2020 Oscars: How to Stream 92nd Academy Awards

The biggest weekend in Hollywood is finally here, and if last year’s film reel is any indicator, the 2020 Oscars will be one of the biggest years yet.

Joaquin Phoenix’s noir take on the classic Batman villain landed Joker the most accolades with 11 nominations in total, including Best Actor and Best Picture. The coveted Best Picture category is especially eclectic this year, from the satirical Nazi-era romp Jojo Rabbit, to Little Women, and Netflix entries The Irishman and Marriage Story, as well as foreign language darling Parasite. Will one film sweep the categories, or will there be plenty of glories to go around? It’s anyone’s guess!

Here’s everything you need to know to watch the 2020 Oscars online for free.

The 2020 Oscars will air on ABC, but if you’ve cut the cord, there are still plenty of ways to watch online, as detailed below.

How to watch the 2020 Oscars online

1) Hulu with Live TV

Cost: $54.99 per month
Hulu devices: Roku, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire Stick and Fire TV, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, and iOS and Android devices
Local channels: ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, the CW (check your local availability here)

Hulu with Live TV not only gives you access to on-demand content, but you’ll also be able to stream live TV, including local networks like ABC. If you miss the Oscars when they air, no worries: It will be available on demand along with countless movies, classic programs, and of course, original series available exclusively on Hulu.

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

For a more à la carte service, look to Sling TV. It offers two cable packages, Sling Orange and Sling Blue, both of which cost $30 per month. If you grab them both (Sling Orange + Blue) you can save $10 per month. Sling Blue offers more bang for your buck with over 40 channels, including sports necessities like FS1, NBCSN, and NFL Network. You’ll also gain access to the usual cable mainstays like Food Network, Discovery, Cartoon Network, SYFY, and FXX. Here’s the complete guide to Sling TV channels.

How to use AirTV with Sling

ABC is not available on any Sling TV package. However, there is an easy workaround. By purchasing a basic AirTV for $79.99 or the AirTV Player for $119.99, you can gain access to local channels in your Sling TV package. As the Daily Dot wrote in its AirTV review, “It’s practically magic.”

The basic AirTV is a dual-tuner streaming device, while the AirTV Player is basically an upgraded Chromecast that has Netflix preinstalled. You’ll still need to own an HD antenna because even though AirTV gets you access to your local channels, it doesn’t actually physically show them to you.

But AirTV—which has no monthly fee—serves to strengthen one of Sling’s biggest weaknesses compared to other live streaming services. It’s the only way to watch The Bachelor using Sling TV.

Plus, it comes with CloudDVR which lets you record up to 20 hours of TV per month. One account works on two devices, but you can add more devices for only $5.
