cord-cutting › best services to watch tbs without youtube tv • July 24, 2024 • The Staff

If you're a comedy or sports fan—or better yet, both—you'll want to have TBS on your roster of channels. Apart from housing sitcoms that range from Bob's Burgers and American Dad to Miracle Workers and Young Sheldon, it also covers Major League Baseball and e-sports, among other sporting events.

For that reason, most if not all live TV streaming services carry TBS on their lineup. But in case you've already decided that YouTube TV isn't for you and are on the lookout for something else, we've got you covered. Below, we've gathered the best streamers you can watch TBS on that aren't YouTubeTV.

DirecTV Stream

DIRECTV Stream is a cable-alternative designed to be just like Netflix, but with live TV channels. There is no need for a satellite dish, you can watch TBS on DIRECTV Stream from their website, from a streaming device like Roku, or from a Smart TV. You still get the picture quality and the reliability of a cable company, but without any contracts or commitments. You can watch channels like TBS and cancel anytime.
