You can stream the 2026 Oscars live on ABC and several major live‑TV streaming platforms, plus rewatch later on Hulu and ABC’s site/app if you miss the live show.
Quick Scoop: Ways to Watch
- ABC on traditional cable or antenna (the main U.S. broadcaster for the Oscars).
- ABC app or ABC.com by signing in with your TV/cable provider credentials.
- Live TV streaming services that carry ABC in your area:
- Hulu + Live TV.
* YouTube TV.
* DirecTV Stream / AT&T TV.
* FuboTV.
Many of these services often offer short free trials around big events, which some people use to watch the Oscars without a long‑term commitment.
If You Missed It Live

- You can also stream it on ABC.com and the ABC app (with a linked TV provider).
Watching From Outside the U.S.
- The ceremony is broadcast in more than 200 territories worldwide; local channels and streamers vary, so you’ll need to check listings in your country.
- Some guides recommend using a VPN to securely access a region’s official Oscar stream if you are traveling.
Simple Step‑by‑Step Plan
- Decide if you want to watch via cable/antenna, live‑TV streaming service, or replay the next day.
- If streaming live, pick a service that includes ABC in your region (Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream/AT&T TV, FuboTV).
- Check for a free trial if you’re a new user.
- If you’re okay watching later, just plan to stream the full show on Hulu or ABC.com after it airs.
