How to Watch The Weather Channel Without Cable

Cancelling cable is a no-brainer: it's overpriced, and all of the good stuff it offers seems to be available elsewhere. But that doesn't always mean that the stuff you miss from cable is easy to find, or that it's coming in the format you prefer. Take weather: it's available online and through your local over-the-air news station, but if you miss The Weather Channel – with its national looks at weather patterns and its interesting reality TV programming – well, we don't blame you. It's okay to crave The Weather Channel as a cord cutter, actually, and it's even okay to watch it – because we're here to show you how to watch The Weather Channel without cable.

How to Watch The Weather Channel Online Without Cable

See? It's right there in the header. Told you that's why we were here.

Okay, let's get started. Below, we're going to give you a big list of services that you can use to watch The Weather Channel without cable. But since all of these services have a lot in common, let's save some time up-front and give a general overview of the sorts of services we're looking at here.

There are two ways to watch TV without cable, and they're two things that we talk about an awful lot here on Cordcutting.com. The first is free over-the-air TV – picking up broadcast channels with an antenna. Unfortunately, though, The Weather Channel is not a broadcast channel. That means that we're down to just our second option: skinny bundles.

What is a skinny bundle? It's a pay TV service, which makes it a little like cable. But a skinny bundle will also be very unlike cable, because it will stream its live TV content over the internet. Think of these services as being like Netflix, but for live TV – or think of them as being like cable, but less expensive and less annoying.

Yep, that's right: less expensive. Skinny bundles are “skinny” because they trim the fat from cable's bulky channel bundles. They're also surrounded by competition: there are no regional monopolies here like there are with cable!

The result is a great and cost-effective way to watch live TV. Since some of the skinny bundles on the marketplace right now offer The Weather Channel in their slimmed-down bundles, they'll make great answers to the question in our headline. So let's meet the candidates! Here are the skinny bundles that you can trust to let you watch The Weather Channel online, no cable required.

fuboTV is a strong skinny bundle option, especially for folks who are trying to watch The Weather Channel. Among the live streaming TV networks that fuboTV offers is The Weather Channel! And then there's fuboTV's free trial offer, which will give you free access to The Weather Channel (and a whole lot more, of course) for a week while you make up your mind about whether or not to keep the service and pay. It's risk-free, so you might as well sign up by clicking on the link in this section.
