Phil Nickinson/Digital TrendsFuboTV has ABC and will therefore have the Oscars. FuboTV is one of our favorite live TV streaming services and always our pick for streaming a single event. Why? Because there is a one-week free trial of FuboTV. If you sign up this weekend, you can watch the Oscars completely free and cancel before FuboTV charges you any money. However, we bet you won’t as it’s a great deal. The basic FuboTV plan gets you 145 channels for $75.
Watch the Oscars live stream on YouTube TV

YouTube TV is a great way to stream the Oscars this weekend, and there’s a free trial too. You can get YouTube TV for free for two weeks, which gives you over 100 channels, including ABC. After your free trial expires and you are inevitably addicted to the service, the price is $55 per month for three months and $65 per month thereafter.
Watch the Oscars Live Stream on Sling TV
Sling TV is another great way to get rid of your cable box. You can choose between two packages, Sling TV Blue and Sling TV Orange. They each have a different package of channels, so you only have to pay for the type of content you’re interested in. The rules for watching the Oscars on ABC are actually a bit complicated. Sling TV only has the rights to stream ABC in these eight markets: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, KGO-TV San Francisco, Houston, Raleigh-Durham and Fresno. Make sure Sling TV has ABC in your area before signing up. There’s currently no free trial of Sling TV, but your first month is only $20 thanks to a new subscription deal.
Watch the Oscars Live Stream on Hulu with Live TV

Just this month, Hulu hired every local ABC affiliate of Sinclair Broadcast Group with Live TV. They don’t air a national ABC channel, which means ABC is only available on Hulu with live TV in certain markets. It’s possible, but make sure you check before signing up. There’s no free trial of Hulu with Live TV, so make sure you can watch the Oscars before spending $70 on a month of service.
Watch the Oscars live stream from abroad with a VPN
If you’re not in the US and want to make sure you’re ready for the Oscars, here’s a simple answer: Fake your internet as if you’re in the US with one of the best VPNs, and then check it out ABC on. We recommend pairing NordVPN and FuboTV together. NordVPN is the best VPN for streaming and FuboTV has a free trial and the easiest relationship with ABC. Right now, a two-year NordVPN plan costs $6.69 per month after a 59% discount.
