You can watch the 2026 Oscars on ABC, on the ABC app/website with a TV login, and via several live TV streaming services like Hulu (with live feed for this event), YouTube TV, Fubo, and similar platforms.

Quick Scoop: Where to Watch

  • Traditional TV :
    • ABC will broadcast the Oscars live in the U.S..
* Just tune in via your regular cable or satellite package on your local ABC station.
  • ABC app and website :
    • You can stream the ceremony live on the ABC app or ABC.com by signing in with a participating cable or live TV provider.
  • Live TV streaming services (no cable box needed):
    • Hulu (with the special live Oscars feed this year).
* Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, Fubo, and AT&T TV also carry ABC in most markets, so you can stream the show there too.
  • International (free options with region locks) :
    • Some regions get free live streams on platforms like 7Plus , RTÉ Player , or ITVX , though availability depends on your country and often requires a VPN if you’re outside the region.

Simple example

If you’re in the U.S. and don’t have cable, one straightforward option is to sign up for a live TV streaming trial on Hulu + Live TV or YouTube TV on the day of the show, then watch ABC live during the Oscars broadcast.
