If you’re looking to see who wins at this year’s People’s Choice Awards, read on. Below, we’ve put together a quick guide on how to livestream the 2024 People’s Choice Awards without cable, including a way to watch the ceremony for free.
How to Watch the 2024 People’s Choice Awards
The 2024 People’s Choice Awards will be broadcast on NBC and E!, but cord-cutters can stream the event online using Peacock or any live TV streaming service that carries NBC and E!. Here’s a full breakdown of the best ways to watch the People’s Choice Awards without cable:
Stream the People’s Choice Awards on DirecTV Stream
We think the best way to watch the People’s Choice Awards online in 2024 is to get a free trial to DirecTV Stream. This free trial lasts for five days, during which time you’ll have full access to livestreams of NBC, E!, and as many as 140+ other channels. After the free trial, DirecTV Stream packages start at $79.99 a month, but all packages carry NBC and E! for tonight’s event.
Stream the People’s Choice Awards on Peacock
Another great way to watch the People’s Choice Awards online is to get a Peacock subscription (if you don’t already have one). The NBC service will be offering a livestream of the awards ceremony to all subscribers, and plans start at just $5.99 a month. Sadly, Peacock does not offer a free trial.
Stream the People’s Choice Awards on Sling
Sling is a more affordable live TV streaming service that’s great if you plan on watching more live events or sports after the People’s Choice Awards. Its 42-channel Sling Blue package includes livestreams of NBC and E!, and it starts at just $40 a month. Better yet, Sling is running a deal right now that gets you $25 off your first month’s bill.
Stream the People’s Choice Awards for Free
If you want to watch the People’s Choice Awards for free (legally), we suggest taking advantage of the free trial from DirecTV Stream. You’ll need to enter a payment method when you sign up for the free trial, but you won’t be charged anything if you cancel within five days of signing up.
