There is no denying that the world of streaming services has blown up in a big way over the past few years.
The options seem endless, from services that stream live cable channels to sports-specific streamers and services that are entirely free to use.
When there’s so much to choose from, how do you even begin to narrow it down and find your faves?
That’s where free trials come in.

Not every streaming service offers free trials, but those that do, allow new users to test out the service for a set period of time, typically 7-30 days before monthly payments set in.
Generally, you’ll have to provide payment information, but if you don’t plan on subscribing following the trial period, you won’t be charged unless you forget to cancel it.
Below, we’ve rounded up a whopping 20 streaming services, listed alphabetically, that offer free trials to test out.
