    Comedy fans know Adult Swim is where it’s at. Home to shows like Rick and Morty, Robot Chicken, and The Eric Andre Show, the Cartoon Network programming block has become so big and successful that it’s practically overrun its home channel. It helps that it also shares rights to popular adult animation like Bob’s Burgers, Futurama, American Dad! and even a couple of anime shows every Saturday.

    If you're fine with on-demand content, then you can give Max and Hulu a go—both have a wide catalog of Adult Swim content (though only Hulu has a free trial). But if you can't wait for next-day episodes, then you’ll want to look at DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV. The former carries Cartoon Network, so your little ones—if you have them—can also enjoy the channel's kid-oriented shows, while the latter offers a standalone Adult Swim channel, so you can watch your favorite adult animation shows 'round the clock, minus the kid content.

    To watch Adult Swim for free, you can sign up for any of the free trials offered by the live TV streaming services we've mentioned. Just remember, most trials last five to seven days, so make sure you cancel by then if you want to avoid paying the regular monthly fee. But if you're thinking of subscribing, you can read more about their different features and channel offerings below.

    DirecTV Stream

    DirecTV Stream is a streaming service that offers everything from live TV, local channels, on-demand films, sports packages, and even premium cable networks like HBO and Starz for an additional fee. Its plans, which start at $70/month, are on the pricier side of live TV, but that’s because it offers unlimited DVR and streams on top of at least 75 channels, depending on the plan you pick.

    Hulu with Live TV

    Combining the best of streaming and cable, Hulu with Live TV pairs Hulu’s original programming like Only Murders in the Building, imports like Normal People, and licensed ABC shows like Modern Family with live TV channels like CNN, CBS, and TCM to give you an all-in-one TV package. The plans start at $77/month (with ads), but for an additional fee, you can upgrade to a bundle that removes commercials and throws in Disney+ and ESPN+ to the mix.

    YouTube TV

    The most popular cord-cutting streaming service, with ESPN, ABC, CBS, and more includes a generous 7 day trial. Youtube TV doesn't usually charge until the trial period ends, which means you can get it, and if you choose to cancel within 7 days, you don't get charged. If you do get charged during the trial period for whatever reason, Youtube will issue a refund. This means you try get the base package, the Spanish package, or the NFL Sunday Ticket and cancel at anytime for free.

    DirecTV Stream Ultimate

    DirecTV Stream Ultimate is the second-biggest package offered by DirecTV Stream. With it, you get up to 160 channels (up 40 channels from the previous tier) across entertainment, sports, and news. That’s almost any channel you can think of—from TBS and USA; to ESPN and CBS Sports; to CNN and BBC News; and so much more. You get it all, plus tens of thousands of on-demand titles for the price of $109.99/month (saving you roughly $40/month from the package after it), so if the budget allows, it's worth trying the Ultimate plan yourself.

    DirecTVStream Optimo Más

    DirecTVStream's Spanish-language plan boasts a hundred channels, including major networks like Univision and Telemundo in select markets, and plenty of Hispanicized favorites like Nat Geo Mundo, CNN es Español, and Hogar de HGTV. At $80/month, Optimo Más is a lot pricer than other Spanish plans like Fubo Latino, which goes for about $35/month, but it generally has more channels (in Spanish and English alike) and offers great features like three simultaneous streams and unlimited DVR. Unlike with DirecTV cable, you can easily cancel your subscription with the contract-less Optimo Más if you're not satisfied.
