Every Streaming App Included with Spectrum TV, by Plan (2026)

Spectrum's cable TV plans include these nine apps: HBO Max, ESPN Unlimited, Hulu (With Ads), Disney+, Paramount+, Peacock Premium with ads, FOX One, AMC+ with ads, and ViX Premium with ads.

The higher-tier plans, Spectrum TV Select Plus and TV Platinum, also include the Tennis Channel.

Spectrum TV Stream, a live-streaming-only plan, does not include any streaming apps.

Spectrum’s Spanish-language cable TV package, Mi Plan Latino, also includes Paramount+ Essential and ViX Premium with ads. Spectrum TV Stream Latino does not include streaming apps.

All nine included streaming apps are ad-supported tiers. If you want ad-free versions of HBO Max or Paramount+, you can upgrade through the Spectrum App Store by paying only the retail price difference.

This plan works well for families who want a broad channel lineup plus on-demand coverage across major streaming platforms without juggling separate subscriptions.

If you follow your local team's RSN games or want ATP and WTA tour coverage, TV Select Plus is worth the step up from TV Select Signature. Sports fans who don't need tennis can likely stick with TV Select Signature.

This plan is the right fit if you want an all-inclusive watching experience. It includes ad-free premium streaming, expanded sports coverage, and over 230 channels in one package. Platinum also includes Entertainment+, Sports View — a package of 16 sports channels including NFL Network, NBA TV, and MLB Network — and STARZ.

Entertainment+ is marketed as an add-on that includes three apps: ad-free HBO Max, Paramount+ Premium, and Showtime. Since HBO Max and Paramount+ are already included, this add-on mostly just gets you Showtime.

To see if you save money on streaming, let's take a look at the actual math. Below is a breakdown of the total monthly cost of each Spectrum TV plan and the included app value:

You can total up the cost of each streaming service you currently have or want to get, and then compare it to the cost of Spectrum TV's plans. Then, factor in the cost of a live TV service to see if you save.

Chances are, you don't use all of these services, so the bundled savings won't match dollar-for-dollar what you currently pay.

However, you get access to more streaming services than you would if you had to pay for them outright, and access to 150+ live channels that a standalone streaming bundle can't replace. If even four to five of the included apps overlap with services you're already paying for, the plan pays for itself — and that's before you factor in live TV.

Here’s a breakdown of the cost of each streaming service on its own:

Spectrum TV’s streaming bundle is worth it for households that want live channels to watch alongside on-demand streaming services.

For households already paying for several streaming subscriptions and a live TV plan, Spectrum TV Select Signature is likely to come out ahead on cost. The included app value exceeds the plan's monthly promotional cost, and you get over 150 live channels on top of it for the first year at a promotional rate.

Ultimately, included streaming apps should be seen as a perk rather than your main driver for signing up for Spectrum TV. If you only use one or two streaming services and don't care about live TV, you're better off rotating subscriptions on your own schedule.

Activating your included apps takes a few minutes per service. Here's how:

Follow the prompts to connect or create an account for that service. You'll need a separate account for each app, but you can use your Spectrum login to verify eligibility and streamline setup.
