Get Cartoon Network with a live TV streaming service

In the table below, I’ve listed out the best live TV streaming services that carry Cartoon Network on one or more of their plans.

One of the most notable absences is Fubo, which doesn’t carry any Warner Bros. Discovery networks. Those include Cartoon Network, along with other popular channels such as TBS and TNT.

Another bummer of an absence is Sling TV. Starting April 30, 2025, Cartoon Network will no longer be available on the Sling Orange plan. So as to not get your hopes up, we’ve gone ahead and excluded it.

Watch Cartoon Network with Max

Even with its removal of several Cartoon Network shows at the beginning of 2025, we still think Max is the best hub for Cartoon Network content. (Literally, type in cartoonnetwork.com and see where it redirects you.)

Most new Cartoon Network-produced shows also air on Max either right before or after they air on the Cartoon Network live channel, including Iyanu and My Adventures with Superman. Max also has old-school CN content, including Adventure Time and Courage the Cowardly Dog. More of an Adult Swim lover? Max’s got that too, with favorites like Rick and Morty and newbies like Common Side Effects.

What’s on Cartoon Network?

I asked myself this same question while writing this page. I haven’t tuned into Cartoon Network since I was a kid watching shows like What’s New, Scooby-Doo? and Ed, Edd n Eddy.

Turns out there’s still tons of new kids’ content being pumped out at CN (and, tbh, a lot of it looks pretty good).
