How to Stream Hallmark Channel Live Without Cable

The Hallmark Channel is home to three main things: Christmas, Valentine's, and good ol' mysteries. It has everything that could make you feel nice and warm, which counts for something in this day and age of cynicism and uncertainty.

You can watch Hallmark Channel on Philo, Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, DIRECTV (ex DirecTV Stream), Sling TV + Lifestyle Extra Bundle, Frndly TV, YouTube TV, or Spectrum TV Stream.

The cheapest option to watch Hallmark Channel is Frndly TV for $8.99/month.

$33/month | Hallmark Channel + 95 channels

Hallmark Channel on Philo

Philo is a live TV streaming service that only offers 70 channels, but pairing it with unlimited DVR and four simultaneous streams, all for just $28/month, makes it a pretty good deal for many cord-cutters. Among those channels are all three Hallmark channels, as well as HGTV, weTV, Lifetime, and Magnolia. For an extra $8/month, you can also add Hallmark+ to your lineup.

Hallmark Channel on Fubo

The cable alternative Fubo offers a good mix of entertainment and sports — admittedly, it offers more of the latter, but you'll see a lot of the former too in channels like Hallmark, Bravo, and FMC. It used to have more, but after a carriage dispute with some companies, it's since had to drop popular channels like HGTV, Lifetime, CNN, and TNT. Still, it's a great option if you're watching with sports fans. Fubo has more regional sports networks (RSNs) than most of the services in this list.

Hallmark Channel on Hulu with Live TV

Hulu with Live TV is a streaming bundle that combines about a hundred live channels with on-demand services like Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+ at no extra cost. Along with Hallmark, Hulu with Live TV subscribers can also enjoy Hallmark Mystery, although you might have to pay extra to watch Hallmark Family.
$89.99/month | Hallmark Channel + 137 channels | 5 days free trial

Hallmark Channel on DIRECTV (ex DirecTV Stream)

If you're looking for an all-in-one solution to cutting the cord, DirecTV Stream is a good place to start. The live TV package, which you can cancel anytime, offers hundreds of channels, a useful program guide, unlimited DVR, and some of the best picture quality in the game. It carries Hallmark as well as similar channels like Lifetime and Magnolia. However, not all DirecTV Stream plans carry sister channel Hallmark Mystery. Hallmark Family, meanwhile, is only available through an add-on.
$52/month | Hallmark Channel + 9 channels

Hallmark Channel on Sling TV + Lifestyle Extra Bundle

The Sling Lifestyle extra includes reality TV and lifestyle channels like We TV, DIY Network, VH1, and the Cooking Channel. When you add this extra to the Orange Plan, your total subscription will cost $52 (unless you choose to get other extras).
$8.99/month | Hallmark Channel + 54 channels | 7 days free trial

Hallmark Channel on Frndly TV

Frndly TV has a lean channel lineup, but it's hard to complain when prices start at just $8.99/month. The live TV plan gives you access to all three Hallmark channels, plus Lifetime, GAC, FMC, and other similar channels. Upgrading to the Classic plan ($10.99/month) also gets you unlimited DVR, so you can record as many programs as you please. As with Philo, Frndly TV gives you the option to watch Hallmark+ on the Frndly app for $8/month.
$82.99/month | Hallmark Channel + 143 channels | 7 days free trial

Hallmark Channel on YouTube TV

YouTube TV is a live TV service that has nearly everything — local and popular channels like Hallmark, unlimited DVR, and multiple simultaneous streams. And in case you're not satisfied, it also offers premium add-ons that give you access to channels like HBO and Starz. Though it's received complaints over the years about its inconsistent streaming quality and its tendency to hike up prices along with other services, YouTube TV remains flexible, easy-to-use, and varied enough to be an ideal service for beginner cord-cutters.
$40/month | Hallmark Channel + 90 channels

Hallmark Channel on Spectrum TV Stream

This newcomer to cord-cutting quietly launched in April 2024. It's about 90 channels for $39.99, without any additional fees like a local channels surcharge, because there are simply no local channels. What you won't find either are sports channels. And some of the channels are Spectrum channels like Spectrum Originals and Spectrum News.

With Philo having a similar channel lineup but costing $15 less, you probably need a very good reason to go for Spectrum TV Stream. But, it's always nice to have another option.

2025 on Hallmark Channel

While Hallmark is still the go-to channel for all things sweet and Christmas-y, some viewers have noticed a noticeable shift from airing originals to reruns. The channel is roughly 80% Golden Girls, Frasier, and Reba at the moment; the Hallmark films don’t air until much later. Some viewers speculate this is Hallmark’s way of pushing viewers to subscribe to Hallmark+. True enough, the streaming service boasts shows and movies of its own, as well as next-day streaming of Hallmark and Hallmark Mystery titles.
