9 Best Live TV Streaming Services in Puerto Rico

cord-cutting • December 13, 2022 • Staff

Despite being a US territory, Puerto Rico sadly does not have access to all the live TV streaming services in mainland America. Major players like YouTubeTV and Paramount+ aren't available on the island, while Hulu only offers on-demand, not live, content.

Thankfully, there are still a number of streamers that are accessible in the area—most notably Sling TV and its enticing bundles. Aside from its wide array of networks, Sling also has a Spanish-language package packed with channels and titles that anyone can enjoy. Below, we list the best live TV streaming services you can use in Puerto Rico.
