MSNBC Streaming Guide: Verdict, Cost & Best Options
The Verdict
If you are cutting the cord and want to watch Morning Joe, Deadline: White House, or The Rachel Maddow Show live every day, do not fall into the Peacock trap. Thousands of viewers sign up for Peacock ($7.99 or $13.99/month) assuming it carries the live 24/7 MSNBC television channel, only to find out that Peacock only posts short video clips and next-day audio/video replays. Because MSNBC (now operated by Versant following its spin-off from NBCUniversal and rebranding as MS NOW) is strictly a pay-TV cable network, you need a live TV streaming bundle to watch the 24/7 channel in real time. The cheapest way to stream MSNBC live without cable is Sling Blue ($46/month), which includes MSNBC, CNN, and FOX News right in its base package with no News Extra add-on required. Just make sure you pick Sling Blue rather than Sling Orange ($46/month), which leaves out MSNBC completely.
Best For
- Morning news viewers tuning in for the daily four-hour broadcast of Morning Joe
- Primetime political commentary followers watching All In with Chris Hayes, The Rachel Maddow Show, and The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell
- Afternoon news viewers watching Deadline: White House with Nicolle Wallace and The Beat with Ari Melber
- Cord-cutters who want MSNBC, CNN, and FOX News together at the lowest monthly price on Sling Blue ($46/mo)
Pricing Reality
Unlike your local NBC station, MSNBC is a cable-only network that cannot be picked up with a free indoor digital antenna, and it is not included in a standalone Peacock subscription ($7.99 to $13.99/month). The lowest-cost way to stream the live 24/7 MSNBC television channel is Sling TV's Sling Blue plan for $46 per month, which includes MSNBC in its standard base lineup and lets you watch on up to 3 screens at the same time. Be careful when choosing your Sling plan: standalone Sling Orange ($46/month) carries ESPN and Disney channels but includes zero MSNBC or Versant networks. Budget entertainment bundles like Philo ($28/month) and Frndly TV ($8.99/month) also do not carry MSNBC. If you want a full cable replacement bundle that includes your local broadcast stations alongside MSNBC, Fubo ($79.99/month), YouTube TV ($82.99/month), Hulu + Live TV ($82.99/month), and DIRECTV Stream ($86.99/month) all carry MSNBC in their entry-level base plans.
What We Like
- Sling Blue ($46/mo) is the cheapest way to stream the live 24/7 MSNBC channel and includes 3 simultaneous streams
- Unlike CNBC (which requires a $6/mo News Extra add-on on Sling), MSNBC is included directly in the Sling Blue base plan
- Included in the standard base packages on YouTube TV ($82.99/mo), Fubo ($79.99/mo), Hulu + Live TV ($82.99/mo), and DIRECTV Stream ($86.99/mo)
- Free 24/7 live audio simulcast is available on TuneIn and SiriusXM if you only want to listen to shows on the go
Things to Consider
- Peacock ($7.99 to $13.99/mo) does NOT include the live 24/7 MSNBC television channel
- Completely excluded from standalone Sling Orange ($46/mo), Philo ($28/mo), and Frndly TV ($8.99/mo)
- Cannot be watched for free over the air with an indoor digital antenna
- US streaming feeds are strictly geoblocked when traveling outside the United States
