Love them or hate them, you can’t deny the impact TV’s most popular DIY couple Chip and Joanna Gaines have had on the home improvement industry. Fixer Upper has influenced the masses on open concepts, shiplap, farmhouse sinks, and much more.

The show’s premise is simple: take the house in the worst shape on the best blocks of Waco, Texas, and turn them into family dream homes. While flipping houses is a well-established foundation of HGTV entertainment, Fixer Upper introduced a relatable, human element to the formula that made fans fall in love with its husband-wife duo as much as their designs.

It’s been a little under two years since Fixer Upper aired its last episode, but like most DIY shows, it’s easy to watch over and over again. If there’s a void in your heart that used to be filled with Chip’s enthusiasm for demo day and Jo’s late nights working without the kiddos, we recommend a healthy dose of binge-watching.

Here’s how to watch Fixer Upper online for free.

What channel is Fixer Upper on?

Fixer Upper aired exclusively on HGTV. Although there are no new seasons currently planned, HGTV regularly runs marathon sessions of Fixer Upper, as well as its other popular shows. There isn’t really a rhyme or rhythm to the network’s rerun schedule, but it usually varies from a couple hours’ worth of episodes to a full day of Fixer Upper.

How to watch Fixer Upper for free

Fixer Upper is available on several of the major TV streaming services, so how do you choose the one that’s best for you? We recommend comparing the price, the included channels, and the compatible devices for streaming. 

If you just want to watch Fixer Upper for free, you’re in luck because every service includes a complimentary one-week trial. That’s cheaper than the roughest house in Waco. 

1) Sling TV

Sling TV

Sling TV is well known for its live TV streaming services, but it offers thousands of titles on-demand, including all 78 episodes of Fixer Upper as well as other HGTV shows. There are two basic cable packages based on your particular needs (Sling Orange and Sling Blue), each costing $25 per month. Either individual package includes HGTV, but you’re getting significantly more TV with Sling Blue (42 channels) than Sling Orange (28 channels). If you want the best bang for your buck, we recommend the upgrade to Sling Orange + Blue for just $15 more at $40 monthly. It’s an especially good choice if you or someone else in the house is a sports fan since you get all the top channels like three ESPN offerings, FS1 and FS2, NBCSN, NFL Network, and more. (Here’s the complete guide to Sling TV channels.)

2) Hulu

Hulu

Hulu offers all the episodes for Fixer Upper seasons 1-4 on-demand, leaving fans without season 5 for some reason. There are 22 other HGTV shows on-demand for you to binge. Hulu’s VOD service has the cheapest monthly fee for Fixer Upper fans, but Hulu with Live TV gives you the best of both worlds: access to on-demand content and live TV streaming, including local networks. That way you can tune in when HGTV runs its popular Fixer Upper marathons and watch your favorite Chip and Jo moments anytime you want. There are 60 channels to choose from, including The CW, ABC, ESPN, and more. You’ll also get tons of great movies and original programs exclusively available on Hulu. (Here’s the complete list of Hulu Live TV channels.)

3) Philo

Philo is the most budget-friendly live TV streaming service at just $16 monthly. Though it only offers 40 channels,  you get plenty of bang for your buck in cable entertainment. It has HGTV for your Fixer Upper fix, plus all the other Scripps Network (now owned by Discovery) channels, including DIY Network, Food Network, Travel Channel, and more. You get a sizable amount of other entertainment options, like AMC, Comedy Central, and two Lifetime channels, just to name a few. It is notably lacking in sports or news channels, though. (Here’s a complete guide to Philo channels.)
