Netflix

Netflix is a premium service, but it’s still way cheaper than your cable TV, and it lets you watch pretty much anything you want. Instead of live programming, it focuses on original series, movies, and a large on-demand library. Additionally, it also comes with the occasional live event you probably won’t want to miss, like big boxing matches or WWE tournaments. If your cable usage is mostly about watching high-quality shows in your free time, Netflix can easily replace that.

The best thing you can do is subscribe to Netflix and pair it with a free service like Pluto TV or Tubi. That combination gives you both live TV to watch or have in the background and premium content without the need for a full cable package. It is not a complete replacement on its own, but it is a great start.
