At $35/mo, DirecTV’s MyEntertainment plan is the cheapest way to watch Syfy. While MyEntertainment can be a good choice when shopping for a live TV package that includes channels like Syfy, it won’t be the right option if you also want live news and sports as well.
Before signing up to a live TV service, it might be worth considering Peacock. A standalone Peacock Premium subscription starts at $10.99/mo and provides access to a wide library of content, including Syfy originals.
While Peacock won’t provide access to the live Syfy channel, it may offer enough Syfy content for some homes.
For those that do want access to the live Syfy channel, here are the best options — from cheapest to most expensive.
| DirecTV | MyEntertainment | $35/mo |
| Sling TV | Sling Blue | from $46/mo |
| Fubo | Pro | $74/mo |
| YouTube TV | Entertainment | $55/mo |
| Hulu Live TV | Base | $90/mo |
Cheapest Way To Watch Syfy
While there are a variety of live TV packages that include Syfy, DirecTV is the very cheapest overall right now.
Syfy on DirecTV
DirecTV‘s Signature Packages start at $84.99/mo, which does make DirecTV somewhat expensive. However, the service also offers a variety of Genre Packs, and this is where you can get access to channels like Syfy at a cheaper price than usual
Specifically, DirecTV offers a MyEntertainment Genre Pack. Priced at $34.99/mo, My Entertainment provides access to more than 50 entertainment channels, including Syfy.
MyEntertainment subscribers also get access to some additional premium subscriptions at no additional cost, including AMC+, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hulu.
- 50+ channels
- Disney Bundle
- HBO Max
MyEntertainment
$35/mo
As MyEntertainment is a genre pack, and one focused on entertainment channels and programming, it won’t be a good option if you are looking for a live TV package that also includes sports or news.
Other Ways To Watch Syfy
While DirecTV’s MyEntertainment plan is the cheapest way to watch Syfy, it is not the only option. In some cases, you may find that paying more gives you access to a better selection of channels or an improved experience.
Here are the other options for streaming the Syfy channel, and once again, from the cheapest to the most expensive.
Syfy on Sling TV
Sling TV offers two main monthly plans, Sling Orange and Sling Blue. While both plans come with similar channel lineups, there are some differences, and Syfy is a prime example.
Syfy is only included with Sling Blue, making this the right plan if you want access to this network. Starting at $46/mo, Sling Blue subscribers get access to more than 40 live channels, a 50-hour DVR, and the ability to stream on up to three devices at the same time.
Sling also offers an ‘Orange & Blue’ package, bringing together the channel lineups for both Sling Orange and Sling Blue, making it another option for those looking to stream Syfy. The combined Orange & Blue plan starts at $61/mo.
Syfy on Fubo
Starting at $73.99/mo, Fubo is another option for Syfy. Fubo offers more than one plan and the cheapest with Syfy is Pro.
The Pro plan unlocks access to more than 200 channels in total, and an unlimited DVR.
Note: Fubo subscribers in many locations are subject to an RSN fee, which can increase the monthly cost by as much as $17/mo.
Syfy on YouTube TV
The next cheapest option is YouTube TV. Although YouTube TV’s main base package costs $82.99/mo, YouTube TV also offers a selection of themed genre packs.
Just like DirecTV, one of these themed packs is an entertainment plan, and this is the cheapest way to subscribe to Syfy via YouTube TV.
The Entertainment plan costs $54.99/mo and includes access to a variety of major local broadcast networks and popular lifestyle channels. In total, the plan comes loaded with more than 60 channels, including Syfy.
Syfy on Hulu Live TV
The final option is Hulu Live TV. Priced at $89.99/mo, the live TV service offers access to a channel lineup consisting of more than 100 channels in total, including Syfy.
Hulu Live TV subscribers also get access to basic Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN select at no additional cost, which can help to make the overall monthly price cheaper for some homes.
Syfy and TV Everywhere
In addition to watching Syfy directly through a live TV service’s app, TV Everywhere support makes it possible to watch the live Syfy channel, and a selection of on-demand content, through the Syfy app and website.
TV Everywhere support still requires a paid live TV subscription, so it won’t make watching the live channel any cheaper.
However, it can be a useful feature to have access to, as long as the live TV service supports the network at this level. This is less of an issue with Syfy, as DirecTV, Sling TV, Fubo, YouTube TV, and Hulu Live TV, all provide TV Everywhere support for the channel.
Considering DirecTV’s TV Everywhere support list includes Syfy, opting to sign up to the cheapest service for that channel won’t result in you missing out on TV Everywhere support.
