The cheapest way to watch USA Network live without cable is the Sling Blue package from Sling TV. At $40 a month, Sling TV is considerably cheaper than many other services, making it a good option for those looking to save on the cost of a live TV package.

The good thing about USA Network is that it is available through many of the most popular live TV streaming services, albeit at varying monthly prices. In addition to Sling TV, USA Network can be accessed through DirecTV Stream, Fubo, Hulu Live TV and YouTube TV.

The downside with USA Network is that it isn’t available for free. Other than taking advantage of a free trial, those looking to stream USA Network will need to pay for a live TV streaming plan.

Cheapest Way To Stream USA With A Live TV Plan

At $40 a month, Sling TV is the cheapest option for watching USA Network without cable. Sling TV has two main plans to choose from, Sling Blue and Sling Orange, with the main difference being the selection of channels.

For those specifically interested in watching USA Network, Sling Blue is the only plan that includes the channel. In areas where ABC is also available, Sling Blue subscribers are charged an additional $5 fee, taking the minimum monthly cost up to $45.

USA Network and TV Everywhere

It is also possible to watch the live USA channel, as well as stream popular shows and movies on demand, directly through the USA Network website and apps.

This feature is made possible through TV Everywhere support, which also means a live TV subscription is still required to access programming in this way. While not every live TV streaming service provides TV Everywhere support for every channel it carries, this isn’t an issue with USA Network.

Sling TV, Hulu Live TV, YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream, and Fubo subscribers can all use their live TV account details to authenticate eligibility and stream programming through the USA Network website and apps.
