ION Television is as no-nonsense as it gets. Its slate of television shows includes Law & Order, Chicago Fire, NCIS, FBI, Bones, Criminal Minds, and many other procedurals. It also broadcasts the occasional classic movie and, for young learners, the educational show Science Max.
Now, ION is available on pay-TV providers, but did you know it’s also available on live TV streaming services? Even better, you can watch it for free, for a limited time, at least.
To watch ION for free, you can sign up for one of the free trials offered by the services below. The trials last for about five to seven days, so make sure you cancel on time if you want to avoid paying the monthly fee. Otherwise, you'll be billed for a subscription every month.
