It’s Turkey Day, and Thanksgiving officially kicks off this morning with the 98th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. We’ve compiled everything you need to know about where to watch Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade live streams, including some streaming services offering huge Black Friday deals.
The Thanksgiving Day Parade has been televised on NBC for more than 70 years (and has been around for even longer than that), cementing its place as a time-honored Thanksgiving tradition. Each year, the event brings together an impressive cast of performers, celebrities, and iconic balloons and floats as they parade throughout New York City. This year is no exception, with Idina Menzel, Jennifer Hudson, Jimmy Fallon & the Roots, and Ellie the Elephant (of New York Liberty fame) scheduled to appear. The parade also typically features performances from hit Broadway shows and national marching bands.
Whether you’ve been watching the parade every year since you were a child or you’re hoping to tune in for the first time, we’ve got you covered. Keep reading to learn how to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade from home, including live streaming options and when you can catch a rerun.
What channel is the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on?
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will be once against broadcast on NBC. The parade kicks off on Thursday, November 28, at 8:30 a.m. ET. It’s scheduled to run until noon. If you’re planning to sleep in or have an early Thanksgiving meal, you can catch a rerun on NBC starting at 2 p.m.
Where to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in the US
The cheapest way for cord-cutters to live stream the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC is via a Peacock subscription. This year’s Black Friday Peacock deals offer major savings on the Peacock Premium plan. Customers can get their first six months for $2 each (compared to the usual $8 per month rate) or an entire year for just $20 (compared to the usual $80).
Peacock Premium (Monthly Plan)
Peacock is a convenient streaming source for hit NBC TV shows, Universal movies, and select sports like Sunday Night Football. Monthly fees are usually $7.99, but the current Black Friday promo slashes that price down to $1.99 for six months on the ad-supported tier. Or you can go for a year at just $20. Offer expires December 2.
If you’d rather live stream the parade through a service that offers several channels, you can do so via Sling TV, DirecTV Stream, or Fubo. At $40 per month, Sling is one of the cheapest live TV streaming packages out there. You’ll need to opt for Sling Blue (which carries 40+ live channels) to access local channels like NBC, but local network availability varies from region to region on Sling, so you should ensure you can access NBC before subscribing. New users can get half off their first month.
Sling Blue
Access to 40+ channels for just $20 a month for your first month as a part of a special offer right now on Sling Blue where you can get 50% off. The best part about Sling is that you only pay for what you want and you’re not tied to a long-term contract
DirecTV Stream and Fubo carry even more channels and have widespread local network coverage, so these are great options if you can’t get NBC through Sling or you’re looking for something more than Peacock. DirecTV Stream plans start at $87 per month and come with a five-day free trial. Fubo plans, which start at $80 per month, include a seven-day free trial and $30 off your first month of service.
DirecTV Stream
Previously known as AT&T TV, DirecTV Stream offers streaming access to a large selection of live channels, including most key networks typically found in traditional cable packages.
Fubo Pro Plan
Fubo is the streaming service for sports fans. Its huge library of channels includes regional and international sports leagues, setting it apart from the competition. You can also tack on additional programming to your plan, but it’ll cost you extra.
How to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade from anywhere
Away from the US and afraid of missing out on the Thanksgiving tradition? You can still keep up with your usual streaming methods while traveling with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs let you change your virtual location so that you can use your usual websites and apps from anywhere. Since the services we’ve recommended require US payment methods, this will work best for Americans who are just abroad at the moment.
