Where does SNL stream?

Core answer (as of 2026)

  • Peacock is the main streaming home for SNL in the U.S., including live streams of new episodes and a big on‑demand library of sketches and past seasons.
  • New episodes air live on NBC (traditional TV or any live‑TV service that carries NBC) at 11:30/10:30c and can then be watched on Peacock on‑demand.

Think of it as: NBC = live broadcast; Peacock = official streaming home.

Main streaming options (U.S.)

  1. Peacock (NBC’s own service)
    • Streams SNL live and on‑demand with a dedicated SNL hub.
 * Hosts many past seasons, sketches, and some exclusive extras like behind‑the‑scenes content.

  1. Live TV streaming services with NBC
    These work like cable over the internet; if they carry NBC in your area, you can watch SNL live:

    • YouTube TV.
 * Fubo.

 * DirecTV Stream.

 * Hulu + Live TV and Sling in many markets, depending on local NBC availability.

 * Most of these often offer free trials around big events and seasons.
  1. On‑demand / purchase options
    • Some seasons and episodes are available to stream via Amazon Prime Video (subscription or with ads) and to buy digitally via Amazon, Apple TV Store, and other stores.

Quick forum-style “what people say”

“Peacock is the only service I’m aware of. Any TV service like YouTube TV or Fubo works as well, and most offer a free trial.”

“Use an antenna to watch NBC for free almost anywhere.”

Fans also note that if you can’t catch it live but want to dodge spoilers, it helps to avoid social media Sunday morning because the big sketches go viral fast.

If you just want the shortest path

  • Want the easiest answer to “where does SNL stream?” → Peacock.
  • Want it live without cable → a live‑TV streaming service that carries NBC in your area (like YouTube TV, Fubo, DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV, Sling in some regions) or an over‑the‑air antenna for NBC.

TL;DR: SNL streams on Peacock as its main home, and you can also watch it live on NBC through various live‑TV streaming services or an antenna, then catch episodes on‑demand afterward.
