How to Watch Bravo Without Cable

Can’t live without your daily dose of over-the-top drama with the cast of “Below Deck?” Charmed completely by the charisma of Andy Cohen and his late-night antics? If you said yes to either of these questions, you’re like us millions of Americans who love our Bravo TV!

You might also be one of the millions contemplating cutting the cord and saying goodbye to cable for good. If you’re addicted to Bravo shows such as “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” or “Inside the Actors Studio,” you’ll be happy to know that getting Bravo as a cord-cutter is easy. Here’s how to watch Bravo without cable.

You can watch on-demand content from Bravo on the network’s website (although the selection is quite limited) or on demand on Hulu, but for a livestream of Bravo, you’ll have to turn to a different type of service entirely: a live TV streaming service.

For the past few years, live TV streaming services, often called “skinny bundles,” slim down their channel selection to save you money, although some options are much skinnier than others. Since they stream over the web just like Netflix does, the regional monopolies that dominate traditional cable TV are out of the picture. That makes the competition tougher and prices better. And live TV streaming services virtually never force cord-cutters into long-term contracts. Want to know which of the skinny bundle providers offer Bravo as part of its channel lineup? Read on to find out.

DIRECTV STREAM is a live TV streaming service with a robust selection of TV networks. Among the channels on DIRECTV STREAM's impressive channel list is Bravo, which makes it a great way to secure a cable-free Bravo livestream. Want to learn more? Start with our review of DIRECTV STREAM.

Hulu has a skinny-bundle service called Hulu + Live TV (catchy name, right?), which works just like its live TV multichannel competitors. You can even subscribe to both of Hulu’s services — the skinny bundle and the on-demand service — at the same time. Read our complete review of Hulu + Live TV to find out more.

While fuboTV has a big focus on sports, but there are plenty of general-interest channels on the service too. Bravo is just one of the various networks you can find on fuboTV. Want to get fuboTV? Click the link above or check out our in-depth review of fuboTV to learn more.

Sling TV is a little different from its skinny-bundle siblings in that it has more of an a la carte setup. Most skinny bundles offer a single package or divide their offerings into tiers of increasing channels (and prices), but Sling TV starts by asking you to choose a base package and then allows you to build a custom subscription with relatively cheap add-on packages stuffed with channels of a certain type. And Bravo is easy to find on Sling TV! You can read our review of Sling TV if you want to learn more.

YouTube TV

Another skinny bundle with Bravo on board is YouTube TV. YouTube TV is a superb skinny bundle that features superior streaming quality and content-discovery features. You can watch Bravo without cable through YouTube TV’s channel package.

You can watch Bravo on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, and Chromecast — as well as a whole lot of other devices — because the platform support for the skinny bundles listed above is pretty robust. Here’s a chart to illustrate how things break down.

Okay, now you know how to stream Bravo without cable using DIRECTV STREAM, Hulu, fuboTV, Sling TV, or YouTube TV. But what are you going to watch? Here are just a few of our favorite shows on Bravo:

• “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”
• “Project Runway”
• “Vanderpump Rules”
• “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles”
• “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen”

Now you have the keys to unlocking Bravo without cable! You can watch all the “Real Housewives” content you want online, with no cable required. But you should also know about a couple of other channels worth your time if you like Bravo.

If you love drama and reality television, then we recommend looking at our page for How to Watch TLC Without Cable as well. On TLC, you can catch the exciting events of “90 Day Fiance,” the medical anomalies of “Dr. Pimple Popper,” and even the journey to health of “My 600 lb. Life.” No matter which shows you choose, you're in for hours of entertainment.

If you are exhausted by reality shows and prefer your drama to be high quality and totally scripted, it’s hard to beat HBO. Shows like “The Undoing” almost feel like they belong on Bravo or TLC, except you know Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant aren’t actually married.
