How to watch Futurama online: Stream all 10 seasons for free

Matt Groening’s second animated series, Futurama, may not have lasted nearly as long as its earthbound older sibling The Simpsons, but to be fair nothing has. The Simpsons has been running steady since 1989, but Futurama, which launched a decade later, did enjoy a healthy total run of seven years on Fox and Comedy Central and possesses its fair share of loyal, lasting followers. (The tireless Groening currently has a third show, the fantasy Disenchantment, currently active on Netflix.)

While the animated sci-fi comedy has been off the air for seven years now, thanks to the abundance of today’s streaming platform options, it’s easier than ever for viewers to gain continued access to television shows from the past — which fortunately includes being able to watch Futurama online.

The series takes place in 31st-century New New York, where Fry, an orange-haired pizza delivery boy wakes up after being cryogenically frozen à la Han Solo for 1,000 years. Futurama follows his adventures navigating a strange new world while now working for a different kind of delivery service called Planet Express. Not long after the show’s cancellation, it was memorialized in a 2014 Simpsons episode called “Simpsorama;” both shows are popular fixtures in today’s increasingly vast streaming realm.

As of now, Hulu is the best destination for streaming Futurama. All 140 episodes, running 21-23 minutes each, and organized as seven seasons, can be viewed on the Disney-owned platform. For users new to the service, Hulu offers a generous 30-day free trial, allowing plenty of time to decide if the service is worth the $6 0r $12 a month it would cost after the complimentary period.

The $6 Basic service comes with limited ads, while the $12, much preferable, Premium option is ad-free. Hulu also offers a test period for their packages that comes with Hulu Live TV ($55 with ads or $61 without), and have assorted bundles with Disney+ and ESPN that do not currently come with trial offers.

At the end of May, Hulu added a Watch Party feature where subscribers can invite friends (over age 18) to view and chat about movies and television shows together, so why not try to make an event of it, instead of bingeing Futurama alone?

Additional alternatives for watching Futurama online include heading directly over to Comedy Central, where cable subscribers can either log in using their provider’s info to access assorted episodes, or opt for a little free 24-hour sampling via Comedy Central’s website. Additionally, select episodes from the first two seasons are available through FuboTV, a sports and live TV focused service, which offers a free weekly trial, and DirecTV (no trial).

Purchase-to-download options are always worth considering too. Customers can take their pick from iTunes, Google Play Movies, Vudu, Amazon Prime Video, and FandangoNOW for $5-$10 per season and $1-$3 per episode. And for a bargain seemingly priced for the past, not the future, iTunes and Google Play also offer the entire series of Futurama for just $50.

How to watch, results, and highlights: Iowa State vs. Houston
Fans watch Houston basketball from the stands.

While the SEC gets most of the attention, the Big 12 has a strong argument for the second-best conference in the country. Saturday pits two of the conference's top teams against each other. Keshon Gilbert and the No. 8 Iowa State Cyclones (21-5) travel to Texas to play LJ Cryer and the No. 5 Houston Cougars (22-4). This will be the only regular-season meeting between the two teams.
Last month, the Cyclones lost three consecutive games, including one that involved a miraculous half-court shot. Since February 8, Iowa State has won four straight, including a 79-65 win over Colorado earlier this week. Houston has been one of the top college basketball programs over the last five years. Had their best player not been injured last year, the Cougars could have gone to the Final Four. Kelvin Sampson's Cougars are determined to make their second Final Four in five seasons.
Both teams are comfortably in the NCAA Tournament. However, each team could use another Quad 1 win to strengthen their resume. Find out how to watch the game between Iowa State and Houston. Read our NCAA men's basketball March to the Madness guide for more February coverage.

How to watch, results and highlights: Oregon vs. Wisconsin
Fans watch from the stands as a basketball game takes place.

The Oregon Ducks (19-8) head to the Midwest to take on the No. 11 Wisconsin Badgers (21-5). The two teams are in opposite regions of the country, but due to conference realignment, both play in the Big 10. Oregon has struggled lately and ranks 8th in the Big 10. Meanwhile, Wisconsin is peaking at the right time and sits in third place within the conference.
It's been a tale of two seasons for the Ducks. On January 21, Oregon was 16-3 and cruising to a favorable seed in the NCAA Tournament. After a 3-5 stretch, the Ducks have fallen to 19-8. On the other sideline, the Badgers are one of the contenders for the Big 10 conference. Wisconsin takes care of business in their arena, with a 13-1 record at home.
Oregon desperately needs another Quad 1 win, but it will be no easy task on Saturday. Scroll below to find out how to watch the Ducks take on the Badgers. Make sure to read our NCAA men's basketball March to the Madness guide for more coverage.

How to watch, results, and highlights: Everton vs. Manchester United
An aerial view of Goodison Park where Everton plays.

Everton and Manchester United are two teams desperately looking to turn their seasons around. Both teams are in the back half of the standings, with Everton in 14th (30 points) and United in 15th (29). These squads previously played each other in December, with Manchester United cruising to a 4-0 victory. This Saturday's matchup at Goodison Park should be more competitive.
Manchester United will notice a familiar face on Everton's sideline. David Moyes, United's coach from 2013 to 2014, became the Everton manager last month. Under Moyes, Everton has climbed out of relegation danger, having won four of their last five Premier League matchups. Meanwhile, United walks into Saturday's matchup having lost two consecutive league games.
Can Moyes and his new squad take down United? Find out how to watch the match between Everton and Manchester United below. Visit Digital Trends' Premier League guide for more Premier League coverage.
