Comedy Central isn't just the home of South Park and Tosh.0. Over the years, the channel has endeared audiences with its hilarious, ridiculous, and sometimes cringe-inducing TV series and stand-up specials. From Workaholics and Reno 911! to The Sarah Silverman Program and Futurama, Comedy Central has helped bring some of the best comedy series to television since its inception in 1989.

Now, over 30 years later, Comedy Central isn't just watched at home on TVs but also on mobile phones, computers, and tablets — even while traveling. In that time it's become one of the most popular channels in the world, and as such, there's no shortage of ways to watch your favorite Comedy Central shows as they air live.

How can I watch Comedy Central?

The streaming era has made it easier than ever to watch Comedy Central live. No longer do you need to pay for some pricey cable package; nearly all of the popular live TV streaming services include Comedy Central in their channel listings! Some of our favorites that include access to stream Comedy Central live are Sling, Philo, YouTube TV, and fuboTV. However, you won't find Comedy Central available on Hulu with Live TV.

Sling is another excellent choice

Sling TV rides a fine line between keeping the price low and the number of popular channels high. There are two plans at Sling that vary in which channels they offer, as well as a third plan that combines all the channels into one package.

Comedy Central is available on both Sling Blue and Sling Orange which both cost $35 per month, or you can choose the Sling Orange + Blue plan for just $50 monthly. Even for the best plan, that's a wide margin lower in cost than fuboTV and YouTube TV which are both priced at $64.99 monthly.
