How to Watch America’s Got Talent Season 20 Online
New episodes of America’s Got Talent Season 20 air on NBC. If you don’t have cable but want to keep up with the show, you’ll want to get a live TV streaming service that carries the channel. Episodes will also be available to stream the day after on Peacock, but not until the day after they air on NBC.
DirecTV

➤ Pros: Free trial, affordable options
➤ Cons: Small channel lineups in Genre Packs
The most affordable way to watch NBC without cable is DirecTV’s MyNews package. This streaming plan bundles nine key news channels, including NBC, FOX, CNN, Fox News, and others, into one streamlined package that costs just $39.99 a month. Best of all, the plan starts with a five-day free trial. If you want a larger streaming plan, check out DirecTV’s Signature Packages.
Fubo

➤ Pros: Huge channel lineup, free trial, watch on 10 screens
➤ Cons: No Warner Bros. channels (TNT, CNN, TBS, etc.), pricey
Fubo is another great live TV streaming service that carries NBC. The service has great local coverage and a massive channel lineup, counting 150+ channels in their plans. This one costs $84.99 a month, but you get a five-day free trial and $20 off your first month.

➤ Cons: No free trial, limited local coverage
Cord-cutters can also use Sling to stream AGT on NBC. The channel is available in Sling’s Blue package (where available), which starts at $45.99 a month. The first month, however, is half off with Sling’s current deal. Sling’s NBC coverage is slightly more limited than the above, however, and they don’t offer a free trial.
Peacock

Right now, you can get Peacock for even less: Their annual plan, normally $79.99 a year, is currently on sale for just $24.99. That’s just $2 a month.
