9 Best Live TV Streaming Services in Puerto Rico

cord-cutting › best live tv streaming services in puerto rico • April 22, 2024 • The Staff

Despite being a US territory, Puerto Rico sadly does not have access to all the live TV streaming services in mainland America. Major players like YouTubeTV and Paramount+ aren't available on the island, while Hulu only offers on-demand, not live, content.

Thankfully, there are still a number of streamers that are accessible in the area—most notably Sling TV and its enticing bundles. Aside from its wide array of networks, Sling also has a Spanish-language package packed with channels and titles that anyone can enjoy. Below, we list the best live TV streaming services you can use in Puerto Rico.

Our recommended five best live tv streaming services in puerto rico:
