How to watch MSNBC live: stream the U.S. news network from anywhere in the world as the U.S. presidential election result looms

If you’ve got cable, then you’ll find watching MSNBC straightforward. But if you’ve completely kicked your cable habit this year, there are a variety of more budget-friendly options for streaming MSNBC.

Take OTT service Sling TV’s Sling Blue package, which includes more than 40 news and entertainment channels for $45 a month, with lucky new subscribers entitled to 50% off the cost of the first month. Membership also includes 50 hours of DVR storage, and the ability to stream content to three devices simultaneously.

Then you've got Fubo, whose entry-level Pro plan costs a steeper $79.99, but offers a lineup of over 100 channels, including MSNBC and Fox News, and which you can try free for 7 days first if you’re new to the service.

There’s also Hulu + Live TV (with ads) at a cost of $82.99 a month. That option bundles in over 80 live TV channels, Hulu Originals, on-demand content, and access to Disney Plus and EPSN Plus. Unfortunately, though, that plan no longer offers a free trial period.

YouTube TV, at $72.99 per month is another option and we'd also recommend DirecTV ($74.99).

NordVPN is one of the simplest and most affordable ways to watch what you want, from wherever you want to watch it. It's straightforward and easy to use, has great security, is available on loads of streaming devices and, best of all, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out 100% risk-free. Give it a go.

Currently there's no way to stream MSNBC in the UK. The solution if you find yourself away from home in the UK? Download a VPN. This simple piece of software will then let you change your IP address and so watch your favorite content from anywhere.

A number of cable companies in the Great White North carry MSNBC as part of their channel packages. For example, it’s included with a Rogers cable subscription, or can be brought as an “add-on” through Shaw, at the cost of CA$5 a month.

As mentioned above however, if you’re traveling and trying to access a streaming service that has MSNBC back home, geo-restrictions will prevent you from doing so. Luckily, you can simply purchase a VPN to alter your IP address, which will let you stream the content you’d normally have access to.

Australian pay television company Foxtel offers the option to watch MSNBC as part of their cable lineup, with the US news outlet available via cable channel 612.

You can also watch MSNBC online with Foxtel's streaming outfit, Foxtel Now. It’s AU$25 a month for the Essentials base pack, which has more than 35 channels including MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, Fox Showcase, MTV and BBC World News. Even better? Anyone new to the service can try Foxtel Now for FREE for 10 days.

However, if you’ve ventured abroad then you’ll want a VPN to watch the same quality content that you’re still paying for back home – allowing you to watch MSNBC no matter where you are.

Kiwis hungry for MSNBC coverage will be out of luck on traditional services.

If you're visiting New Zealand and want to stream MSNBC from outside your country, a VPN is a must. Just follow the VPN information detailed above, and you’ll be able to watch MSNBC from wherever you are.

Unfortunately, India doesn't have cable or streaming access to MSNBC. But don't let geo-restrictions put you off.

Should you find yourself abroad in a different geographic territory, you’ll want to download a VPN to continue watching MSNBC. Doing so is easy, and in a few quick steps you can connect to your preferred streaming service and enjoy the content you’d normally watch with ease back home.
