How to watch NBC live without cable on Roku devices (2023) 

NBC is home to TV favorites like Saturday Night Live, America’s Got Talent, and This is Us. Even as one of the oldest television giants in America, NBC is now leaving its mark on the streaming industry.  

So as a cord-cutter, or soon-to-be cord-cutter, you’re probably wondering how you can watch your favorite NBC shows without cable. Don’t worry, there are plenty of ways to do this.  

Here, we’ll cover everything you need to know about how to watch NBC live without cable on your Roku device, from NBC News, NBC Sports, live streams, to your favorite shows. 

NBC 

Simply download the NBC app onto your Roku device to easily stream NBC at the click of a button. If you’re looking for NBC Sports or NBC News, we have these individual apps as well. To access everything these channels have to offer, you’ll need a login to a participating pay TV provider, but you can still stream clips, highlights, and select episodes of NBC shows for free without a paywall. 

Peacock 

NBC’s made-for-TV-streaming app, Peacock, gets you access to your live TV and local TV favorites. Plans start at $4.99 up to $9.99 to see your NBC local news, weather, and shows, alongside 50+ live channels. 

 The Roku Channel 

The Roku Channel gets you instant access to NBC News NOW, along with local NBC News stations from 8 major metros, including LA, New York, and more. Stream 24/7 for free, on on your Roku device or on the web at therokuchannel.com! 

YouTube TV 

Another great option is YouTube TV. Starting at $72.99/month, YouTube TV comes with 85+ live channels to watch at the comfort of your own home. This package includes NBC, ESPN, MSNBC, Nickelodeon, NFL Network, and more. 

Hulu + Live TV 

Hulu + Live TV is a great option for cord-cutters because of their wide selection of networks and channels readily available. Their basic plan, starting at $69.99/month, offers 85+ Live TV channels including Freeform, Disney Channel, ABC News, FOX News, and of course, NBC.  

FuboTV 

FuboTV also offers multiple plans that let you stream live TV from hundreds of different channels. With their Pro plan starting at $74.99/month, gain access to NBC alongside other entertainment like FOX, ESPN, USA, FX, Freeform, and more. 

Sling 

Sling TV is another option that offers packages at low prices that are also customizable. Because you’re looking for NBC in particular, you’ll want to opt for Sling TV’s Blue plan starting at $45/month. 

Watching NBC live over the air 

We know cord-cutting can be a bit complicated. If you have an OTA antenna, you can still get your fix of NBC over the air. All you need to do is hook up the antenna to your Roku TV.  

And that’s a wrap! Learning how to stream NBC live on your Roku device and through other streaming packages is easier than ever.
