How to watch Real Housewives online for free

Real Housewives is an institution on Bravo and in reality TV — but how can you watch it if you’re a trendy cord-cutter or just unable to find a television?

Bravo Live 

This might be the safest — and smartest — way to watch the Real Housewives shows. It’s the official stream from Bravo, which means you’re not going to have to mark your window like Mulder in The X-Files and live a life of paranoia. The catch is that you need to have a prior cable commitment, meaning a cable subscription is needed. You don’t specifically need to be the owner of the account, as you can use your friends or parents account.

Hulu

It may not be the industry leader when it comes to streaming, but Hulu has its saving graces. One of which is the fact that all the Housewives shows are stored there, meaning you can catch up at our own leisure. Of course, this isn’t a way to watch the show live but it’s better than missing out altogether. It’s also a nice, neat little home for all the various Housewives shows — which can be a little hard to keep track of at times.

Playstation Vue

This is one of the best ways to watch not only Real Housewives but all kinds of television. Sony bills it as a “cable alternative” and that’s pretty much spot on. You can watch the live broadcasts of hundreds of channels — Bravo being among those options. A monthly payment is required, but it’s worth it in the end and gives you a lot more than Real Housewives.
