If you’re a fan of conservative commentary, then you’re probably familiar with Tucker Carlson’s popular Fox News show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” What you may not be aware of is that you don’t need cable to watch Tucker Carlson deliver his takes on the day’s news. With the right streaming solution, you can enjoy “Tucker Carlson Tonight” — along with the rest of Fox News’ programming, including “Hannity” — without paying for an overpriced cable or satellite package. Let us show you how to watch Tucker Carlson without cable.
How to Watch ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ Online Without Cable
Fox News, home to Tucker Carlson’s popular program, is a cable television station — the kind of TV channel you typically would have to pay a cable or satellite provider to get. You can watch regular old Fox for free over the air, but you won’t be able to pick up Fox News with an antenna. It’s available only as part of a pay TV package.
The good news is, you can now subscribe to a skinny-bundle streaming service that includes Fox News as part of its package. Once you have one, you can stream Fox News live to your heart’s content. Here are the services that currently offer Fox News.
In our review of Hulu + Live TV, we were actually reviewing two services at once: an on-demand service (meaning you can start and stop movies and shows whenever you want, just like with Netflix) and a streaming bundle. Hulu + Live TV, as the name suggests, comes with both the on-demand Hulu and Hulu’s skinny-bundle live TV service. The latter includes a Fox News livestream, which means you can catch every episode of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” with no cable required.
fuboTV has a lot to offer fans of live TV. It’s a particularly good option for sports, but it’s no slouch in the cable news department either — especially if your favorite channel is Fox News. fuboTV will let you stream Tucker Carlson online, and you can even stream it for free (for a little while anyway) with fuboTV’s free trial.
Sling TV offers a lot of great channels, including a Fox News livestream that will give you every episode of “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” Sling TV has a unique pricing structure, and its setup gives you a lot of power to customize your bundle. You can start with a base bundle that includes Fox News, but you don’t have to stop there. You can keep adding on small bundles to customize your selections without raising the price too much.
YouTube TV
If you’re looking to stream “Tucker Carlson Tonight” online, you could do a lot worse than YouTube TV. This service is not the same as regular old YouTube. YouTube is free, but YouTube TV is a paid cable alternative. Luckily, the paying part isn’t too rough — YouTube TV is cheaper than cable.
Can I Watch ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, or Chromecast?
Cutting the cord may be easy, but keeping the services and devices straight can be a pain. We’ve listed a bunch of services you can use to stream “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” but you may still be wondering whether you can watch Tucker Carlson on your Fire TV, iPad, or another favorite device. Fear not: We’ve got a simple chart that breaks it all down.

Watch What You Want, Tucker Carlson Fans!
Being a cord-cutter means being free of big cable bills. It doesn’t mean giving up live TV, though, whether that’s Tucker Carlson or any other program you love. Check out all our coverage of the channels and shows you care about. We can even tell you how to watch CNN without cable — if you’re into that sort of thing.
Fox News is an easy channel to stream without cable, which means you can catch all of Fox News’ biggest hits. You can even stream “Hannity” online, with no cable required.
Fox News’ own streaming service, Fox Nation, isn’t in this article because it doesn’t include a livestream of the Fox News channel, so it doesn’t have “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” But it does have Tucker Carlson, who shows up on other shows and exclusive Fox Nation programming. If you can’t get enough of Tucker, then you may want to check out Fox Nation.
The streaming services you show above charge between $50 and $65 per month. We quit Direct TV because of the $90 per month charge. We have an antennae for local stations and a smart TV with some streaming services. We miss the FOX news line up but we don’t want to start adding charges back to our monthly tv bill. We have LOTS of friends who have “cut” cable and high costs services who are in the same boat.. Does FOX Nation offer a streaming service with their news line up? I would pay for that.

Yes, and it is worth it! BUT, it does not have Tucker Carlson Tonight. That seems to be reserved for cable tv & bloated streaming packages like Hulu, Direct TV, etc. I think one of the Sling packages may be the cheapest way to get Tucker C Tonight. Fox Nation has Tucker Carlson Today. It is good, but a different format.
At different times we’ve used and cancelled both Com Cast and DirecTV. Both were a little over $100 per month. With our antennae we miss getting the FOX news programs during the afternoon. However your solution isn’t much of a solution. Most of the options you mention are over $50 per month. I don’t under stand why FOX doesn’t add their news programs to FOX Nation. I would buy that in a New York second. This might be a great year to take a break from the news, so maybe it’s all for the best.

I was just saying this the other day! I would love to be able to just pay for FOX news and nothing else.
Same boat. I will not get any streaming service that includes CNN and MSNBC in a bundle.
Who owns Fox, Disney!
Fox Nation is an app that includes the Fox News Shows for 5.99 a month..but you would still be paying Fox News
I don’t think the Fox nation service for 5.99 includes Fox News at all.
Doesn’t include Tucker Carlson Tonight program though, only Tucker Carlson Today.
Why can’t we just pay directly to FoxNews/FoxNation? If we have Roku or Fire Stick the app can be down loaded and then with a credit card we can go on line and pay for either or both. Such a smart network but why the customer can’t purchase alone makes no sense. Unless its greed by the other providers. I wish Fox would explain this issue to us. Can’t understand why a NY based company would turn down bucks….
Pluto TV is free to watch, it has several news networks, but the only one it seems to be missing is FOX. I don’t know why FOX is not on there. Maybe someone can let us all know.
I’m with all these other commenters. I really miss fox news and would gladly pay for it
alone. Why cant you add it to the Fox Nation website so we can watch without purchasing all the $50. and up sites. we would gladly pay more for Fox Nation with Fox News. I really miss Hannity, Laura, and Tucker.
Me too, with work I only watch the FOX lineup starting with Tucker then Sean and Laura, that is my entire TV experience. I don’t want to pay $100.00 for Direct TV for one channel. FOX Nation please add your news lineup and charge a few bucks more. I’m with you Linda.
I use a Fire Tv stick…downloaded the free FoxNow app, once the app installs and opens, at the top of the screen, click on Live TV and then you can scroll down to Fox News and watch all of the regular Fox News programs, including Tucker Carlson…Note-the Fox Now app on Fire TV stick is NOT the same as the Fox News app…I couldn’t get the Fox News app to play Tucker!
ditto
Hate to say it, but Fox News was bought by Woke Disney a little while ago. Lou Dobbs just got the boot, and the others will be more or less influenced by Disney management, meaning programming is going to be more mainstream agena/ fare like CNN. Case in point was the Fox moderator for the Biden/Trump debates where it was hard to believe there was no agenda to trip up Trump. Fox also called Arizona prematurely for Biden, weird. If Tucker can get out of his contract and go to a non cable free TV site like the ever growing Newsmax TV, he could have historic viewership the likes that broadcasting has never seen.
I’m with you John… The only FoxNews in my house is Tucker at 8pm Monday through Friday and Sunday with Levine…. I don’t trust Fox News anymore nor do I trust Newsmax. I’ve been watching Real America’s Voice and OAN at this moment… I’m still want to watch Tucker live w/o cable/satellite….
Dropped cable and don’t miss it. I will never subscribe to ANY cable channel line-up that includes propaganda CNN and MSNBC.
Same boat. I will not get any streaming service that includes CNN the bundle.
Can i get Fox Nation in Canada.
I have fox news on my tv through rogers.
I have Roko streaming and antenna but cannot get Foxs News. I want something to get Foxs and Tucker and Hannity miss this channel very much.
I now have Roku cut Cox. We miss watching Tucker Carson! Why can’t we watch Tucker Carson without paying for cable or other streaming services that charge crazy prices. We just want Tucker Carson. Is this possible?
Wrong ==> “Hate to say it, but Fox News was bought by Woke Disney a little while ago”
Disney bought 20th century FOX movies. Fox news (aka Rucker) is not owned by Disney
For all the folks wondering why FOX does not offer FOX news (and tucker/Guttfeld) on a separate charged streaming fee is that the main cable companies threaten FOX that they will drop FOX news from all the nation wide cable outlets and thus would cost FOX a huge amount of income. The cable companies see streaming as an obvious competitor to their monopoly and would consider a direct streaming from FOX News as direct competition.
Hopefully some day FOX News will decide that their is more revenue with direct streaming then there is via the cable companies. Until that day, FOX is beholden to the cable companies.
Yes, FOX is on some of the internet streaming big name streaming solutions but it’s not their own service.
I dropped Fox Nation a lil while back. At that time u could not watch Fox News live. But u could stream the shows afterwards. They only have one week of shows though. When new episode is posted oldest show drops off.
I use a Fire TV stick…I downloaded the free FoxNow app, once the app installs and opens, at the top of the screen, click on Live TV and then you can scroll down to Fox News and watch all of the regular Fox News programs, including Tucker Carlson.
NOTE-the Fox Now app on Fire TV stick is NOT the same as the Fox News app…I couldn’t get the Fox News app to play Tucker, it played Fox News, but a different channel than Tucker/Hannity are on!
