One of the oldest and more popular channels, USA Network is a must-have for a lot of folks. From CSI reruns to WWE Smackdowns, USA features a bunch of original programming. Sports-wise, they also carry the U.S. Open, Olympics, NASCAR, Atlantic 10 ball and more. It's available on a bunch of services but we typically recommend these first: DIRECTV Stream, Fubo and Sling. Free trials with each give you access before you commit. Read on for more...

Sling TV Program Guide Visit Sling

Of all the providers on this list, Sling is the least expensive and if you don't watch a ton of TV, probably your best option. Sling is considered a skinny bundle provider, meaning it has only the most popular channels included. USA is one of them. USA is owned by NBCUniversal so in almost all cases, you'll get all the other sister channels. Some of those include CNBC, E!, MSNBC, Brave, Oxygen, Syfy and more.

Sling has two main plans, Orange and Blue. Both cost $23/mo, however USA Network is ONLY available in the Blue package (43 chnnels). So, obviously, that's the one you'll want to choose. If you want more options, you can save by bundling Blue and Orange for $30.50/mo. Overall, a solid value compared to other providers. They also offer a ton of add-on packs for just about any theme or type of programming.

For most needs, we like Sling a lot. Simple, easy setup and just works...across all platforms. USA is only available in the Blue pack but that's probably a good thing for most -- Blue lets you connect up to three devices, while Orange limits you to one. The main reason for that difference is that Orange includes the Disney channels (ESPN, Disney, etc.) so they offset the value a bit. In most cases, Sling offers a 7-day free trial to try things out. That offer is usually only available to new subscribers (if you previously cancelled Sling you're out of luck).

USA Network on Fubo

Fubo Program Guide Visit Fubo

Unlike Sling, Fubo is a streaming provider that more closely resembles traditional cable. For example, their most popular plan, Pro, has 218 channels and goes for $64.99/mo. All their plans include USA so you're freed up to choose whichever suits your needs the most. If you're unsure or don't care, we always recommend going with the smallest plan first (Pro), then upgrade if needed.

As previously mentioned, USA is part of the NBCUniversal network -- other sister channels found in Fubo include: NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, Bravo, Telemundo, Oxygen and Syfy. Speaking of NBC, since Fubo includes ALL your local channels, you'll also get ABC, FOX, CBS and everything else available in your area.

Finally, Fubo started out as a sports (soccer) service so if you're a sports fan, you'll probably love it. From nearly all the regional sports networks to a ton of soccer coverage, it's right up there with DIRECTV Stream when it comes to local and national sports programming.

Live TVStreaming FuboFubo review

Some folks like to subscribe to a bunch of different streaming services. It's a cool and flexible approach but costs can quickly add up. The flip-side of that is subscribing to a full-featured provider like Fubo. You can get setup in minutes, watch via a variety of ways (computer, iOS/Android app, etc) and they're all stable and pleasant to use. If you have the budget for it, go with Fubo.

USA Network on DIRECTV Stream

DIRECTV Stream is the streamlined version of their satellite service. Surprisingly, it doesn't skimp on channels either. It basically has all the channels of satellite including sports and movie packs. You'll also basically pay the same amount as well. The big difference is no satellite dish AND no contract. Being streaming, you can subscribe and cancel whenever you want.

With regard to USA, it's available in all their plans. The least expensive is the Entertainment package {90 channels for 86.99/mo}. With that, you'll also get all your locals and the max number of regional sports (nobody has more RSN contracts than DIRECTV). As with the other providers on this page, DIRECTV Stream carries the full complement of NBCUniversal channels.

In a lot of ways, DIRECTV Stream is pretty similar to Fubo. Has a bunch of channels, sports and local channels....oh, and USA in all their packages. The biggest difference between the two is their technology. Both offer unlimited DVR storage and have stable/excellent apps, some folks just prefer the look and feel of one over the other. Since both offer free trials, if you're unsure, give each a try for a few days before you commit (don't forget to cancel in time!).

Streaming services with and without USA Network

USA is considered a core cable/streaming channel so it's not surprising that it's found in all major streaming services. It's also included in all their plans, so unlike with other channels, you won't have to compromise on costs just to watch it. Smaller live TV providers like Philo typically don't include USA.
