How to Watch AXS TV Without Cable

AXS TV provides viewers with access to live musical performances, music festivals, and more. But all that access doesn't need to come with the same high price tag that you may be used to paying for music channels on cable and satellite networks. AXS TV is available through a number of online streaming services, making it easy to watch AXS TV without cable and get all of that music coverage for considerably less.

Here are a few of our favorite ways to stream AXS TV:

And we're not talking about illegal options, either: we're talking about a completely legal AXS TV live stream, one that comes as part of a service that replicates a lot of the live TV that you used to have to rely on on cable to deliver. Below, we'll lay out everything you need to know about this relatively new set of live TV solutions, plus which options are your best bet for an AXS TV live stream. Here's how to watch AXS TV without cable!

There are a number of services that will offer you an AXS TV live stream, but they all have a few things in common. The sorts of services we're talking about here are called “live TV streaming services” or, sometimes, “skinny bundles”.

The “skinny bundle” moniker comes from the size of the channel packages offered by these cable competitors. When we first started seeing live TV streaming services in the wild, many of them offered much slimmer channel bundles than their legacy pay TV competitors. That enabled them to keep things a lot cheaper for consumers, too. These days, you can find “skinny bundles” in all different sizes, and in many cases can choose from bundles of different sizes from the same provider.

While not necessarily all that “skinny” in every case, live TV streaming services have yet other advantages over cable. The fact that they're delivered “over the top” – that's industry lingo for “over the internet” – means that these services don't have to worry about the infrastructure costs that big cable companies do. It also means there aren't big regional monopolies to worry about. In both cases, these factors lead to lower prices for consumers.

Sounds good, right? And more than one of these services can work as a solution to the dilemma that inspires our article: how to watch AXS TV without cable. Let's check out the options!

Want to access AXS TV? Then you may want to take a look at Philo, a fast-growing skinny bundle with a lot to offer. Philo's slim bundles are available for significantly less cash than many competing options, but both skinny bundle options available through Philo still manage to bring great channels to the table — including AXS TV, which is why we're featuring Philo here. Philo is one of the cheapest trustworthy live TV streaming services around. As affordable as it is, Philo is cheaper yet for its first week: like many competitors, Philo will allow you to take the service for a test drive for a week at no cost. There's no risk, and you can sign up for the trial via the link right above this section. You can read our review of Philo.

Sling TV is Dish's entry into the skinny bundle crowd. Clearly, the legacy pay TV companies are not content to sit around and let others take over their business — and, just as clearly, they recognize that skinny bundles are here to stay! This legacy-backed skinny bundle offers subscribers their choice of base packages and then invites them to add “extras,” which are small add-on bundles formed by groups of similar channels. It's easy to build a bundle that includes an AXS TV live stream. You can sign up for Sling TV via the link above and can spend seven days watching for free while you figure out if the service is to your liking. For our take on the service, just read our Sling TV review.
