$33/month | Food Network + 95 channels

Food Network on Philo

Philo is an affordable way to add live channels to your streaming lineup. It’s pretty limited in its offerings (no news and sports channels here) but it does carry a good number of popular channels, including The Food Network and The Cooking Channel. It also boasts unlimited DVR and up to three simultaneous streams—not bad for $28/month. Go to Philo $45.99/month | Food Network + 33 channels

Food Network on Sling TV Orange

Sling TV’s Sling Orange is a live TV plan that gives you access to popular channels like AMC, HGTV, and The Food Network for just $46/month. It also carries exclusive channels, like ESPN and the Disney Channel, which you won't find in Sling's other plan, Sling Blue. Both plans are easy enough to sign up for and cancel, plus they have add-ons in the form of premium, international, and specialty channels. However, if ESPN and Disney are non-negotiable in your household, then Sling Orange is the way to go. Go to Sling TV Orange $45.99/month | Food Network + 45 channels

Food Network on Sling TV Blue

Sling TV’s other live TV plan is Sling Blue. Though it’s missing key channels like ESPN and Disney, it has channels you won’t find in Sling Orange like FS1, NFL Network, and USA, making it a better fit for all-around sports fans. Food Network fans will also find much to like in Sling Blue’s lifestyle lineup. And if you’re hoping to get local channels, you'll be happy to know Sling Blue streams affiliates of FOX, ABC, and NBC in select markets. Just be warned, Sling Blue charges a mandatory $5/month if you do get local channels in your area. Go to Sling TV Blue $88.99/month | Food Network + 105 channels | 3 days free trial

Food Network on Hulu with Live TV

Hulu with Live TV’s most obvious edge over other cord-cutting plans is that it comes with Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu on-demand at no additional cost. Hulu, in particular, has a robust catalog of on-demand titles dedicated entirely to food and cooking. Shows like Tucci in Italy, Next Level Chef, Kitchen Nightmares, and the Food Network's very own Chopped are perfect complements to your food-filled viewing. Go to Hulu with Live TV $89.99/month | Food Network + 137 channels | 5 days free trial

Food Network on DIRECTV (ex DirecTV Stream)

DirecTV Stream is an all-encompassing live TV package. It has everything you’ll need from a cable-replacement plan, including unlimited DVR, simultaneous streams, on-the-go viewing, and local channels. It also carries channels similar to the Food Network, like HGTV, HLN, and Discovery. Its only real drawback is its hefty price. The service has seen multiple price increases in recent years, though it is trying to remedy this by coming up with skinny bundles aimed at rivaling Sling. Go to DIRECTV (ex DirecTV Stream) $82.99/month | Food Network + 143 channels | 7 days free trial

Food Network on YouTube TV

YouTube TV is a live TV streaming service that boasts great DVR capabilities, an intuitive interface, and a robust channel lineup you can boost with add-ons. Not that you might need them, considering YouTube TV has more food-related channels than any other live TV service in this list. But if you choose to customize your plan, you’ll have a wealth of options from premium channels like Showtime and HBO to sports passes like the NBA League Pass and NFL Sunday Ticket. Go to YouTube TV $40/month | Food Network + 90 channels

Food Network on Spectrum TV Stream

Spectrum TV Stream offers nearly 90 channels, many of them popular ones like Food Network and HGTV, for just $40/month. It doesn't carry sports and local channels, which means you won't get hidden broadcast fees or surcharges here. For the price, however, you might get more channels and features in plans like Sling Orange or Blue, or even in DirecTV Stream's skinny bundles. Go to Spectrum TV Stream

2025 on Food Network

Food Network seems to be doubling down on competition shows this year, with the resurgence of Chef Grudge Match, new episodes of BBQ Brawl, and the launch of the all new series Family Recipe Showdown, hosted by Octavia Spencer.
