As we get closer and closer to the 2021 Presidential Inauguration Day, we can’t help but get excited to watch Joe Biden be sworn in. Many things have not gone according to plan in 2020, which will be an event to watch. However, if you don’t have television or cable access, you might be wondering where you can watch this address online. Here, we outline all the places online you can see Joe Biden become the 46th President on January 20.
Hulu
Most major news networks will be streaming the event. PBS, CBS, ABC, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and NBC will be the channels where you’ll want to watch the address. Luckily, Hulu has access to all of these channels except for CNN and MSNBC. Their main news networks are ABC, Bloomberg, and FOX News, in addition to the others available. In addition to getting access to these major news networks, you’ll be able to see their original shows as well. Hulu offers four different plans: Hulu with ads ($6 per month), Hulu without ads ($12 per month), Hulu + Live TV with ads ($65 per month), and Hulu + Live TV without ads ($71 per month).
FuboTV
This streaming service is precisely to stream live television, so they have everything you could want. FuboTV does not have PBS and CNN, but they do have MSNBC, NBC, FOX, ABC, and CBS. This streaming platform has three different plans, their Family Plan ($65 per month), Elite Plan ($80 per month), and Latino Quarterly ($25 per month). If you want to see the inaugural address in Spanish, the last plan offers news networks like Univision and Telemundo.
SlingTV
If you have not heard much about SlingTV, you will wish you had discovered it earlier. They do not have PBS, ABC, and CBS, but they do have MSNBC, NBC, FOX, ABC, and CNN and international news networks like the BBC, France 24, and India Today. There are two different plans to choose from, Sling Blue ($30 per month) lets you use the platform on three devices and gives ten free hours of DVR space without a contract, and Sling Orange ($30 per month) has the same features but only accessible on one device.
CBS All Access
If you are looking for CBS specific news, CBS All Access is the best place to go. Since it is their streaming platform, you’ll get access to everything they produce, including sports and other channels like BET, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, and MTV. CBS All Access has two different plans, the limited ads plan ($6 per month) and the no ads plans ($10 per month), but both let you use their free one week trial first to see what you think.
