How to watch TV Land online for free

For many, TV Land is the place to watch beloved classic TV shows like The Brady Bunch, All in the Family, Alf, or maybe The Dick Van Dyke Show. These days, TV Land offers more sitcoms from the modern era and a few selections from the ’80s, but it hasn’t lost nostalgic charm. Thankfully, the channel has kept up with the times when it comes to finding a live stream of TV Land shows. So if you’re looking to ditch expensive cable plans, here’s everything you need to know to watch a TV Land live stream for free.

What is TV Land?

Founded in 1996, TV Land immediately banked on nostalgia for sitcoms from the 1950s and onward. In addition to the shows mentioned above, some popular options included The Andy Griffith Show, Bonanza, and The Cosby Show. These days, you’ll find TV Land serving up Everybody Loves Raymond, Hot in Cleveland, M*A*S*H, The Golden Girls, The Goldbergs, Lopez, Two and a Half Men, and more.

TV Land live stream: 3 ways to watch

You won’t find a TV Land live stream available on every live TV streaming service—notably, Hulu with Live TV, FuboTV, YouTube TV, and PlayStation Vue are all missing the channel. But you still have a few options for getting TV Land, including two platforms that come with a free seven-day trial.

1) Philo

Philo

Cost: $16 per month
