Here’s how to stream the 89th Academy Awards online http://ift.tt/2mgGtz9 The Academy Awards are a time of year when movie stars are celebrated and internet-breaking selfies are taken. Late-night personality Jimmy Kimmel will host this year’s gala, which promises to be a must-watch affair. There is an epic Best Picture showdown between La La Land, Moonlight, and Hidden Figures. Lin-Mauel Miranda, John Legend, Justin Timberlake, and Sting will also perform their Best Original Song nominees. And who knows if the award show will produce another viral moment that shatters the internet the way Ellen Degeneres’ star-studded selfie did in 2014.

We’ve compiled the best ways to watch Hollywood’s biggest night when it kicks off Sunday at 7 p.m. ET, both on and off your living room TV. TVABC has broadcast the Academy Awards for the last 40 years, and will do so until at least 2028. Once the awards ceremony is underway, ABC will be the only TV channel showing the Oscars. Where ABC falls on your channel list, however, is determinant on your cable or satellite package, as well as your location. If you’re not a cable customer, or just want a new way to watch the Academy Awards, then you should look into picking up an HD antenna. There are numerous digital antennas that will allow you to pick up ABC, and we’ve recently rounded up the best of them. After you get your antenna set up, enter your address here to find out which channel ABC is being currently being broadcast over in your local area. An antenna might not be as stable as cable, but often times, the broadcast signal might offer higher quality video than what your satellite or cable provider serves up. Smartphones and tabletsYou can watch the Oscars on your smartphone and tablet via the official ABC app (iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV) assuming you have a cable subscription from a participating TV provider, and you live in Chicago, Fresno, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Raleigh-Durham, or San Francisco. If you live outside those cities, streaming on the ABC app will not be available. If you have a DirecTV Now (iOS, Android), Sling TV (iOS, Android), or Playstation Vue subscription — with a channel package that includes ABC — then you can stream the Academy Awards using each service’s accompanying app. However, only people in select areas will be able to stream online with either of these services. If using Sling TV, you can only watch the Academy Awards if you have the Orange package with a $5 broadcast extras add-on, and live in one of the following areas:
If using DirecTV Now, you can only watch the Academy Awards if you live in one of the following areas:
For PlayStation Vue subscribers, go to the service’s website here and plug in your address information to see what channels are available. If ABC is listed, you’ll be able to watch. If you do happen to miss the live show, however, it will be available to stream on-demand from the ABC app for a limited time. You’ll still need a cable or satellite subscription, but you will not necessarily need to live in a particular area. Desktop browsersWatching the Academy Awards on your desktop machine is as easy as visiting ABC’s website with your favorite browser — i.e., Chrome, Firefox, Safari — and logging in with a cable subscription from a participating TV provider. You can find all of the participating providers here. And if you miss the live stream, the telecast will be available to stream on-demand for a limited time following the live broadcast. Set-top streaming devicesAgain, you can access a live stream of the Academy Awards using ABC’s mobile app, which is currently available on a range of connected devices (see table below). Keep in mind, however, that you will still need a cable or satellite subscription from a participating TV provider in order to use the ABC app. You’ll also need to be located in one of the aforementioned, Sling TV-compatible regions.
