9 Best Live TV Streaming Services With a One-Week Free Trial

Live TV outmatches cable in many ways—it’s contractless and cordless, not to mention cheaper and easier to install. But one of the more notable differences is the availability of free trials. Most major live TV streaming services will allow you to test all of its features, including DVR capacity, concurrent streams, and local channel reception, completely free of charge. Some, like DirecTV Stream, limit the trial to just five days, while others, like YouTube TV extend that to a month on certain promo seasons. But for the most part, free trials offered by live TV services last a good seven days—after that, you’re charged the regular monthly fee. So if you’ve been wanting to test out some features, for you, we’ve rounded up all the worthwhile live TV services that offer weeklong free trials.
